Polish speakers learning English: FAQ
Quick answers to the most common questions about learning English if your native language is Polish.

Polish speakers typically need around 750 hours to reach English fluency. Polish and English are both Indo-European languages and share a significant portion of vocabulary through Latin and French borrowings.
What is the hardest part of English for Polish speakers?
Articles are the biggest challenge — Polish has none, and learning to consistently use 'a', 'an', and 'the' takes months of practice. The '-ing' and '-ed' adjective distinction (bored versus boring) is also a very persistent issue.
