Polish as a foreign language

About Polish language

Polish language belongs to the Western-Slavic branch of languages, that constitute a part of the Indo-European family. The oldest sentence written in Polish dates as far back as 1270 and was found in Wrocław on the 24th page of Book of Henryków. At a convention in Łęczyca in 1285 Polish language was allowed to be used in cathedral and monastic schools. Three prayers published in 1475 in Wrocław are considered to be the oldest printed texts in Polish. Currently, Polish is estimated to be the mother tongue of about 44 million people all over the world both living in Poland and outside its borders, making the Polish diaspora.

"Ucz, ucz, ucz, ucz się polskiego, na łatwe i na trudne dni. Cóż, cóż, cóż, cóż w tym jest złego? Co złego to nie my, co złego to nie my." Agnieszka Osiecka
