Practical Polish lessons for adults and younger learners

Finally understand your in-laws, stop switching the whole meeting to English, pass your B1 exam, or help your child keep up at school in Poland

Marlena — founder of Into Language

Cześć, jestem Marlena!

Since 2008 I've taught Polish to people from all over the world, and after all these years I still love that moment when a student says:

"I actually used Polish today!"

They're usually small moments — conversation at work, ordering lunch, chat with a neighbour — but they make living in Poland feel so much easier.

That's why I created Into Language. I wanted to create a place where learning Polish feels calm, practical and encouraging.

No pressure to be perfect. Just real conversations, steady progress, and someone who's happy to support you along the way.

If that sounds like the kind of learning you're looking for, I'd love to help you.

Who we help

Our students come to us with different goals. Which one sounds like you?

Family Connector

Talk to your in-laws this Christmas.

You've lived in Poland for years but still feel like an outsider at family dinners. We'll get you from silent observer to active participant.

Career Upgrader

Stop switching the whole meeting to English.

You're the reason 10 colleagues speak English at the coffee break. Our micro-learning sessions fit your busy calendar and build real workplace Polish.

Strategic Resident

Pass your B1 exam on the first try.

You need the State Certificate for your residency or citizenship. Our exam fast-track course gives you the strategy and practice to succeed.

Heritage Speaker

Finally speak the Polish you understand.

You grew up with Polish at home and want to reconnect with it. We start from what you already have, not from page one.

Classroom Newcomer

Help your child keep up and fit in.

Your child is capable, but every subject at school is taught in a language they're still learning. Our lessons build the Polish they need to keep up in class and feel part of it.

Team Integrator

Give your international hires a reason to stay.

Your specialists relocated to Poland but still feel like outsiders. Our courses build the Polish they need to feel at home — and progress you can show the board.

"I've been learning Polish with Marlena for over a year now and it's been an amazing journey. She constantly challenges me to step out of my comfort zone and speak with confidence. We always have fun while learning and that's for sure what makes Marlena's lessons truly special. Thanks, Marlena!"

Thomas from Brazil

"Fully recommend Marlena! Very patient and kind teacher, making me feel very comfortable to make the countless grammatical mistakes that I make – but more importantly still, correcting me and teaching me how to improve. I really enjoy our lessons."

Jack from United Kingdom

"Highly recommend! I've been learning Polish with Marlena for five years now, and I can't recommend her and her school enough! The lessons are always fun, interactive, and really effective. If you're looking for a great way to learn Polish, this is the place to go! Thanks a lot."

Roman from Ukraine

"Marlena is truly an exceptional Polish teacher! Every lesson is engaging, well-organized, and filled with positive energy. She has a talent for making complex grammar easy to understand, and always finds creative ways to motivate and support. Thanks to her patience, encouragement, and personalized approach, I've made amazing progress and feel much more confident speaking Polish. I highly recommend Marlena to anyone who wants to enjoy learning Polish."

Dmytro from Ukraine

"I grew up speaking Polish but lost much of the language over the years. Working with Marlena has been a fantastic experience—she's patient, knowledgeable, and has a real talent for tailoring lessons to my specific needs. Her approach has made it easy and enjoyable to reconnect with the language of my heritage. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn or rediscover Polish!"

Matthew from United States of America

"Besides Marlena being an amazing teacher, her classes were never boring. She made grammar look easy, and always tried to help with pronunciation, although sometimes it was very tricky with some words. It was a pleasure and I really recommend Marlena as a teacher to help you with your Polish skills. Dzięki Marlena."

Sasha from Portugal

"I really like the personal approach you get, you don't feel stressed or worried about learning a new language, but it feels like a normal day-to-day conversation where you just happen to learn."
