Experimenting with Gengo Lite Polish picture flashcards on my iTouch. Seems quite cool so far. Updated main entry with logs as well. Edited by bhoi on 04 December 2009 at 1:58pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Still highly motivated in learning Polish, last week, I finished MT Foundation Polish,
it did give me a head start in my journey in learning Polish. I would recommend MT Polish to everyone. I have pre-ordered MT Polish Advanced and it should come soon after New Year :) As for the audio flashcard software I mentioned, I have used it quite regularly and have now assimilated about 200 (passive for now) vocabularies, not bad at all I think :) So yeah, it's from InnovativeLanguage.com in case anyone is interested. I have paid for and played around with MyWords and WordPower from InnovativeLanguage, but I think that learning words in isolation without sample sentences or phrases are not particularly useful above the absolute beginner stage when the learner is learning how to say apple or three or tree. From, I will be experimenting with FlashcardExchange.com for a while, I will let you guys know in a while :) It's a real shame that there is no FSI course for Polish. So, so far, it seems that the best alternatives are Colloquial Polish and Teach Yourself Polish, I am experimenting with the former now, I will post a little review here in a few days. What do you guys think? 1 person has voted this message useful |
