I went to a Saturday Morning Polish Language school in Brooklyn, New York. Unfortunately, when I started I was much too old for the beginner’s class and not proficient enough for the age suitable class. This was not a very successful experience for me.

Twenty plus years ago I tried to teach my children Polish, but did not have the resources to be successful in that. The various conflicting priorities also mitagated against success there. However, I have no regrets since they were successful in school, have an appreciation of various languages and culture, and are happy adults.

I now have a four month old grand daughter and have started providing her with books in Polish, German, and Swedish (my wife’s ethinic background is Swedish and German). I am looking for resources to help pass on some of our cultural and language traditions. This website is a very valuable one and I appreciate Lisa’s work in providing this resource.

Maybe some of the other readers might have additional suggestions or can share some of their experiences.
