Language Schools
If you plan on taking lessons, these are generally available either as part of a class, or privately. Prices vary dramatically, but expect to pay around 20 zl an hour as part of a group, and about 100 zl per hour for individual tuition.
Warsaw is a university city, with a great academic tradition, and is awash with language schools to choose from, many of which are filled up with foreign students during the summer months. There are great deals to be made, and prices are extremely competitive compared to the rest of Europe. Many students come to Warsaw to learn languages other than Polish, as the teaching, in general, is of a high standard, accomodation is good value, and the city itself is a terrific attraction, with plenty of things for students to do in the evenings.
Look out for good deals from the language schools, particularly as the summer draws closer and competition to fill remaining vacancies increases. Or, chance your luck and just pitch up in Warsaw, where you can make your choice at first hand.
