General InformationThe Sopot School of Polish for Foreigners is a private, independent language school established in 1990. The School is open throughout the year. With between 30 and 50 students we are large enough to be a varied and dynamic community, but small enough for every student to be given indyvidual attention. We offer small classes, from beginner to advanced levels in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Our aim is to provide high quality courses in Polish as a foreign language and to encourage interest in Polish language and culture.Sopot is a well know seaside resort with a tradition dating back to the last century. In the summer the city reverberates with the sound of crowds of holidaymakers walking along the pier or soaking up the sun on the beach. Sopot has great places for leisure and recreation: cinemas, theatres, an opera house, tennis courts, an art gallery and a race track. Equally attractive is Sopot's geographical position. It is only 10 miles from Gdansk, the city which, as the birth-place of Solidarity, has carved itself a special place in the recent history of Poland. Numerous Gothic, Renaissance and baroque monuments, shipyards and port, theatres, museums and art galleries make the millenial Gdansk on of the most attractive Polish cities to visit. Surronded by picturesque countryside and situated close to Gdansk, Sopot is thus an exciting and memorable place for the adcenture of learning Polish. Our Students must be 18 or older. There is no upper age limit. Apart from this, our only requirement is that you should seriously want to learn Polish. Our Courses The school reserves the decision of the number of persons in a group. If the number of persons in a group is 3 or more - we provide 5 lesson daily, for 2 person - 4 lesson, for 1 - 3 lesson. Each course offers classes at all levels. Before your course we will send you a preliminary grading test to complete and return. This gives us an approximate idea of your level of Polish. By attending our short spring, summer, autumn and winter courses, you can see Poland throughout all four beautiful seasons. Polish Language Classes are from 9 to 2 pm from Monday to Friday. In the afternoon we offer additional, special interest classes that broaden the background of your language in the following areas: business, literature, history, politics, arts and culture, letter writing, etc. The size of your class will be about 5 students with a maximum of 10. Executive Programmes. In addition to our regular courses which have fixed dates, we offer upon request, one-to-one and small group tuition. These tailor-made programmes are individually designed to suit the particular learning needs of professional people. Please ask us for details. University Preparation Course is especially designed for foreign students who wish to pursue university education in Poland. It usually begins in September or early October and ends in June. Please ask us for details. Accomodation. We are not a residential school but will arange accommodation for the majority of our students. You can stay with a Polish-speaking family or choose to live in a hotel. Living with a host family would help you to practice your Polish outside the classroom. Free Time. The way you spend your time out of class is almost as important as your tuition time. To help you to benefit fully from learning in Poland, our social organizers arrange excursions, parties, theatre visits, ship cruisers and others event. Activities such as school parties or regular social meetings are free of charge. Excursions, theatre visits cost extra. Early Registration. There is no registration deadline for our courses.
