What countries do most of Varia students come from?
We are privileged to teach people from all over the world. We have hosted students from over 90 countries. Most of them come from Europe, especially countries neighboring Poland, but more and more often we welcome students from other continents, sometimes from distant corners of the world.
What is the language used during the class?
We speak and teach in Polish during lessons. Our students come from all over the world and Polish is often the only common language. Our teaching method encourages students to not only speak Polish but also to think in Polish. All Varia staff also speaks English, so English may be used to explain any topics outside the class or to help with organizational issues.
Can I get a certificate of course participation? What are the requirements?
Yes! To get the certificate you need to have at least 60% of course participation and you need to pass the final exam.
What is the average number of students in the semester course group?
On average, there are between 8-10 students in a group, with a minimum requirement of 5 and the maximum of 14 students per group.
When and how can I use the student’s zone?
Every course participant will receive access to the student’s zone, where all the lessons’ materials and activities from previous classes can be found. Also, on the student’s zone you can find and print additional exercises. You can use it whenever you need to.
What kind of workshops and lectures are available during the semester course at Varia?
Our lectures and workshops combine a variety of aspects of Polish language and culture. You will be able to properly pronounce the rustling consonants (sz, cz) as well as practice appropriate accent and intonation. We would like to invite you to a slang workshop, where you will learn many useful and cool, modern words. Our extracurricular menu also offers: a delicious culinary workshop where you can taste Polish cuisine; a polite lecture on Polish savoir vivre; and even a Polish song workshop with a karaoke outing. All of our workshops are free of charge and you can participate in them if you want to.
