This aim corresponds to structure of lessons. The teaching of grammar will be supplemented by practical exercises which would reflect reached level. With respect to the fact that Polish is required not only in the frame of everyday communication, the attention will be paid also to managing of Polish linguistic terminology which would always correspond to given issue. The course does not presuppose any previous knowledge. Therefore, its aim is the introduction of Polish language to students (it means with its classification in the frame of Indo-European languages, with its development and relations to other Slavic languages and mainly with its phonetic system. The correct pronunciation will then be emphasised in the tutorials. This effort will be accompanied by corresponding grammar and building of word-stock on the basis of thematic circles.
