The fact that there is quite a demand for a prac
tical book of the Polish language , has induced the
author to prepare! the present volum e . There are
som e three m illion Poles in the United States. They
m ay be found in all walks of life . Many of them
speak English , but a great number do not . Per
sons dealing with the latter experience difficulty in
making themselves understood . The design of the
present volum e is to furnish for the use of English
speaking people a handy means for putting them
selves in communication with their Polish fellow
citizens . With the help of this manual the author
hopes it will be possible to issue necessary instruc
tions to workm en,servants
,etc. , to carry on buy
ing and selling transactions , and also to carry on
sim ple conversations on such m atters as health ,tim e
,weather, war, etc .
The book is divided into five parts . The first
part deals with the alphabet and the rules for ao
cent . The attempt has been made to represent each
sound as tru ly and phonetically as possible in Eu
glish . All use of diacritical marks has been avoided
for th e sake of simplicity . Th e greatest difficulty
will be experienced in establishing the correct pro
nunciation of the'
nasal vowels a, e , the consonants
n, l, r, 2 , and the compound consonants cz, dz
’
, dz, sz,rz, and szcz . This difficulty m ay be somewhat over
com e. by asking a native Pole to produce the sounds
slowly and then carefully imitating him .
The second part deals with the so- ca lled Fluency
Exercises . The schem e is explained in detail in th e
introduction to the series . Th e author believes thata complete and thorough mastery of this section will
help the learner to establish a correct pronuncia
tion and accent of Polish words, and at the same
tim e acquaint him with some of th e grammar in a
practica l way .
Gram m ar is the subject of the next divis1on .
Here no attempt has been made to give an exhaust
ive treatise on Polish grammar, but ra ther som e
condensed inform ation about the principal points of
it . This part m ay be well used in conjunction with
the Fluency Exercises .
Perhaps the most useful section of the manual
m ay be found in th e fourth part . A glance at the
table of contents will show the number of practical
phrases and conversations which have been em
bodied here . Care has been exercised to include
nothing but practical subjects . The language used
is the language of everyday life . It is. true that all
the possible subjects were not included, — the limits
of the book did not permit of that,— yet there will
be found here enough m aterial to meet all ordinary
occasions .
The vocabulary at the end of the book contains
a comprehensive list of words in daily use .

Fluency Exercises.
The Fluency Exercises are employed here to
deve lop the power of using th e idom atic forms of
th e language a s fluently and prom ptly as those of
the m other- tongue .
This schem e requires tha t long idiomatic sen
tenoes shall be divided into very short sections , and
shall be accom panied by their Variations in both
languages Th e beginner is to commit the sentences
and their variations very thoroughly to memory .
The foreign variations exhibit the constructions
which are lying latent in each sentence .
The English variations are designed to convey
th e exact power of each of the foreign variations,and to show th e different senses in which th e in
dividual foreign words and combinations can be em
ployed .
The variations of each lesson are to be m astered
before a new one is undertaken. The slightest hes
itation in the use of a word in any of the variations,absolutely disqualifies the learner from advancing
to a new lesson .
Every sentence, with its variations, will be found
to exemplify some of the rules of syntax , and to
contain many inflections ; and it will not require a
great number of sentences to incorporate them all.
Method of Procedure .
l st Lesson — The learner should begin by utter
ing the last two words in Section I . , then the l ast
- 15
bination he should repeat it loudly and in rapid
succe ssion for a shortWhile . Then he should read
the litera l translation and all the Polish variations
of th e first section .
2ud Lesson — Section I . and all its variations
should to be read in irregular succession a num ber
of times . Then the pupil should a lternate ly read
the Polish and translate the English variations one
by one . He should‘
also point out, on the English
page , each variation as he utters it . During this
exercise, he is not to read each English variation
aloud before he translates it .
3rd Lessonz— Th e learner should repeat the
above exercise until he can translate th e variations
into Polish as. rapidly as he can read them in En
glish . If h e can translate them”
all without hesita
tion, or error of any kind , he m ay commence an
other section .
The same method should be used in learning
each new section
