There is an archive file called "pimsleur polish full 30 lessons language lesson.rar" that may be of interest to you. The file is a compressed file so you will need to extract it before it can be opened. Extracting this type of file requires the appropriate software, such as Win-zip or 7-Zip, which can usually be found on computers running Windows. If you do not know how to extract the compressed data then please consult your system's help information for more information on extracting files from archives like . rar. If you would like to learn more about Win-zip before attempting to open the downloaded files please consult our help information section on Win-zip. Extracting the compressed file will produce a number of files, including one called "Pimsleur_Polish_Part1.rar". This is what you need to open, not the "pimsleur polish full 30 lessons language lesson.rar" file that you downloaded first.(thanks to A Fan for this info). You might have to change how your computer displays information stored in archives (known as an archive viewer) if the file doesn't seem to be opening properly. The initial file you downloaded will be named "pimsleur polish full 30 lessons language lesson.rar" and is compressed into a .rar archive. A .rar archive is an archive that is compressed by RAR with the original file name, date, author, etc. being preserved in the file data inside the .rar's .rarc database. This compressed data can be opened by using Win-zip or 7-Zip to extract the files out of your .rar archive. Once opened you can use it as you would any other text file or file archive. You can print it out if you choose to read it on paper rather than reading it on your computer screen, for example. ----------------------------------- Pimsleur language courses are AUDIO ONLY meaning you don't get the book/workbook, just the audio. I used this to help me learn Polish, since I started with zero grammar knowledge. The course is well thought out and organized, but the only drawback is that there are no exercises that require reading or other non-listening skills besides memorization. Some people prefer that approach, especially if they want to just listen in the car on their way to work. (Or while running...I was listening while running.) The other drawback is 1) Polish is not an "easy" language to use even with Pimsleur's systematic approach. It's not as easy as Chinese, but it's still easier than Swedish, I think. 2) The amount of time you need to spend studying every day is dependent on the difficulty level of the language you're trying to learn. For a beginner with no background in Polish I'd say at least 25-40 minutes a day would be necessary. They recommend 15 minutes a day for a beginner level language. I have been using Pimsleur for about two years now and have gotten through all 30 lessons but it takes me 35-60 minute daily sessions spread out over several days for my brain to really soak in what I'm learning from the course. 8eeb4e9f32 18
