BASIC POLISH: A Grammar and Workbook

Basic Polish presents concise explanations of grammar with
related exercises to build confidence in using the modern
language. Assuming no previous knowledge of Polish, its
step-by-step approach guarantees the reader a thorough
grounding in the basics of its grammar. Each of the forty
units introduces a particular grammar point and provides a
variety of exercises to enable the student to practice what
they have learnt. Features include notes on the Polish
alphabet, pronunciation and stress, a full answer key to
all exercises and a Polish-English glossary. Routledge Grammars
series.
