Teaching created specifically for bilingual and heritage-language students
I am Sylwia Karolina Janiec, a qualified Polish language teacher and PhD researcher.
For more than 15 years, I have worked with bilingual children and teenagers in Ireland.
During that time, I repeatedly saw the same problem: intelligent students could communicate naturally in Polish but had never been taught how to analyse their own language, write formally or prepare strategically for the Polish Leaving Cert.
They were often expected either to know everything because they spoke Polish at home or to study through materials created for complete language beginners.
Neither approach reflected their real needs.
That is why I developed a specialist method that begins with the Polish students already have and builds the missing language, examination and independent-learning skills around it.
My role is not to give you answers to memorise. It is to help you understand your own Polish well enough to build stronger answers independently.
