Better sources elsewhere

I listened only to a few minutes of this audio book, and I found it to be a waste of time. Pimsleur is an excellent audio course for learning languages, but they only have Polish 1 (the basic stuff). It is really well done, though. The best book I have ever used for Polish is an old one called "Mowimy po Polsku", which means "we speak Polish." It's a bit hard to find, but you might get lucky on an Internet search.

Useless for me

Long spoken lists of words, with English translation following. There is no contextual point of reference, only the list, and after five minutes or so, I just tuned it out. I tried this audio book no less than six times and each time realized I needed something a bit more.. educational. Pimsleur is the way to go.

Terrible Product

This was a terrible product. It is nothing more than repetition of words/sentences with their translations. It doesn't get into any sentence structure or the like - you learn only the phrases that are on the recording, with no way to build sentences ofyour own. Even for a level 1 product, I expected much more.

If you cannot sleep..

I cannot use this. Like others say, its so tedious. Insomnia is never a problem with this purchase.

A Boring Waste of Time

This is not the way people learn a language. It might be a cure for insomnia, but as a language tape, it's next to worthless. Try Pimsleur's, if you don't mind the price.
