Whether you're a third generation American trying to read your grandmother's pierogi recipe or a French expat struggling with the entertainment guide , take heart, the IKO approach to learning Polish as a foreign language differs from the dry, traditional approach of the past. IKO coaches you rather than lectures using the total immersion, communicative approach, so you learn not only the intricacies of the Polish language but the breadth and depth of this culture as well.

Our pragmatic approach walks you through real, practical situations and dialogues, at your own rate. We emphasize speaking and comprehension, and as your confidence grows, so does your proficiency. Before you know it, you'll be independent, meeting other people, asking directions, buying tickets , negotiating contracts

Now, how can we help you?

Our programs are planned to meet the learning needs of the student of Polish as a second language.

Our original materials used for your course will include audio tapes , course books and specially written lesson plans.
