Polish at The University of Chicago
Polish language courses at The University of Chicago are offered at three proficiency levels, subject to demand. Students learn through contemporary materials that develop language skills while introducing modern Polish culture.
If you have previous experience with any of our languages as a heritage speaker, formal learner, or through self-study, please take the online placement test, so we find the class that best fits your level. Our experienced instructors are also specialists in Heritage Language Learning and can help you build your skills quickly and confidently. Polish heritage speakers are encouraged to contact the department to learn about the Practical Proficiency Language Certification.
In addition to language classes, an array of Polish content courses in English is offered, as well as a Slavic film series and many academic talks and events.
Please direct questions about placement, competency, and courses to the Polish language instructor Izolda Wolski-Moskoff at izolda@uchicago.edu
