Language programs at the Cracovia Academy encompass all levels of Polish, including:
Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Native Speaker. Students will be properly grouped
based on the results of a written placement test and oral language interview.
Classes are held in a communicative method which means that the Polish language is used
almost exclusively. The Polish language program focuses on intensive classroom instruction
of reading, writing, oral communication, grammar and vocabulary.
Courses at the Cracovia Academy also give students the opportunity to experience and
explore first hand, the cultural heart of Poland. Polish language courses also include
trips and visits to museums and galleries, historical sites, music concerts and recitals,
plays and theatre, cultural festivals and other events showcasing the rich culture and
history of Krakow and Poland.

emphasis and type of Polish language intruction. For example, some may wish to perfect
their Polish accent, others may wish to focus on Polish writing and compositon, while
others have more technical/professional needs such as Polish for translators or business
Polish. The cost of private Polish language tuition is 17 Euro per
instructional hour.
