Let's learn a new language like a kid
Always keep the mind open to learn new things
"After a one-year of studying and living in Poland, I am still an idiot in both speaking and writing in Polish. But I can listen and understand the daily conversation"
Learn Polish like a kid
That is what I remind myself every day. I have my own weakness and strength, but I keep moving. No matter how people react to my accent, mistakes, or any problems that I have made. I have a two-year-old brother and he is learning Vietnamese. He always repeats whatever I talk to him without understanding anything. He makes me laugh because of his vulnerability. However, he shocks me with his daily improvements. Although he now could not speak fluently, he could understand what I talk to him. Even me, I am Vietnamese and it costs me 19 years to learn Vietnamese.
Therefore, I regard myself as a kid trying to talk, repeat, make mistakes, record mistakes, and correct them. Again, the mistake is something that we must have to grow better. I don't remember how many times I look like an idiot in front of the Polish people. I don't understand them and they don't understand me either. Whenever I don't understand what they are talking to me, I always ask: "Co to jest?" (means: what is it) or "co to znaczy?"(means: what does it mean?). They explain and I still ask and still not understand anything. However, I am always stupid to learn new things daily. Also, one of the essential reasons why I must force to studying Polish fast is due to time limitations. I don't have much time for learning it. I need a job and I would like to learn other different things.
Let's ask yourself one question: "Why would you click on this post and read?"
You would like to understand Polish grammar quickly and move on to different skills? if you like, you can download my Polish grammar summary below. I hope that you can understand them. Even me, the owner of that table is not sure that I am understanding all Polish grammar cases. Again, I could understand, listen, speak, and write, but I don't understand grammar deeply. I am not a Polish teacher or a Polish expert. I am a Polish student. I am still learning new words and phrases everyday.
