[Stephen Simpson · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book could, arguably, have given more examples for how/when to use various case endings, but it otherwise very much lives up to its title and it is an excellent companion tool for learning Polish. I think it would be very, very difficult to learn Polish just with this book, but in conjunction with other learning materials (including DuoLingo or Babble), I think it is an invaluable tool.

Although this book has a good pronunciation guide, you won't learn how to speak/hear Polish this way (but why would you ever expect to from a book, right?).

Sometimes we here at Artifice attempt to learn Polish. And by "we," I mean Tadd.
