FAQ

Can I get a refund if I can’t finish the course?

If you can’t complete the course, you can either defer your remaining sessions to a future course or receive a prorated refund.

Is there an online option?

We find face-to-face learning works best for language acquisition, so all sessions are in-person at the Polish Combatants’ Hall.

Can I drop in for individual classes?

This 11-week course is designed as a complete program, with each session building on the last. We don’t offer drop-in classes.

How do I know if Level II is right for me?

The Level II course aligns with CEFR Level A2 (Elementary). It is suitable for learners who can understand and use simple Polish expressions, form basic sentences, and participate in short everyday conversations. Students should already be familiar with Polish pronunciation, basic grammar, and common vocabulary, either through completion of our Level I course or prior exposure to the language.
