Practice Polish conversation, corrected in English.
For heritage speakers, partners of Poles and anyone living in Poland who understands more than they can say. Talk about ordinary things; every slip is explained in one plain English sentence.
Five mistakes almost every Polish learner makes
These are the corrections Parlenta gives most often. Each one comes with a single English sentence, not a grammar lecture.
| Topic | You write | Correct | Why, in one line |
|---|---|---|---|
| z + instrumental | z mój brat | z moim bratem | Z meaning with takes the instrumental: z moim bratem. |
| jestem + instrumental | Jestem nauczyciel | Jestem nauczycielem | After jestem, a noun takes the instrumental: jestem nauczycielem. |
| Negation | Nie mam czas | Nie mam czasu | After a negated verb, the object goes into the genitive: nie mam czasu. |
| Aspect | Jutro będę napisać list | Jutro napiszę list | For one finished action in the future, use the perfective verb on its own: napiszę. |
| Diacritics | Dzien dobry | Dzień dobry | Ń is a different sound from n, so the accent is part of the spelling. |

Polish questions
Polish has seven cases. Where do I start?
Wherever you are. Parlenta corrects the case each sentence needed, with one plain English sentence about why.
I understand Polish but freeze when I speak. Will this help?
That is exactly who it is for. Voice mode lets you talk without interruptions, then shows the transcript with your corrections.
What level do I need?
Any. You choose where to start, and Parlenta adjusts as it sees how you write.
