Publisher's Synopsis
Anyone learning Polish will see the (unintended) humour in this republished vintage book straight away.
There is no 'easy method for learning Polish quickly', or at least not if you're a native-English speaker.
(Polish is categorized by the US Foreign Service Institute as a category III (hard) language, requiring 44 weeks of full-time study to reach proficiency).
That's why the book has such quirky appeal, as well as being an interesting relic of a bygone time.
First published in 1914 by Wehman Bros of New York, Easy Method for Learning Polish Quickly contains English words and phrases and their Polish translations, along with the phonetic pronunciation (with some minor differences to today - the Polish 'l' is now pronounced like 'w' in wool).
-> Great in-joke gift for someone learning Polish
-> Full of quirks of the era (e.g. essential phrases for steamboat travel)
-> Genuinely useful for learning Polish vocabulary
