Polish at The University of Chicago
The University of Chicago regularly offers Polish at the beginner and intermediate levels. When there is interest, advanced-level study is also available. In addition to language classes, an array of Polish content courses are offered, as well as a Slavic film series and many academic talks and events.
Polish is a West Slavic language primarily spoken in Poland and by the Polish diaspora. It is, for instance, the third most widely spoken language in Chicago. Situated in the center of Europe, Poland is a vibrant country with a rich culture and history. Poland has existed in many different guises and iterations and has historically had a heterogeneous population. Polish literature is famous for its thoughtful modern poetry, its modernism and avant-garde, as well as its romanticism of mysticism and resistance. It is also the fastest-growing economy of the post-communist world.
