Preparing for a Polish language exam is often accompanied by the fear of making a mistake. This fear can slow down the process and even make us doubt our abilities. But mistakes are part of learning, they help you better understand the language and prepare for the exam. The main thing is to know what to avoid so that your preparation is effective and confident.
I have collected for you 5 typical mistakes that beginners make when preparing for the exam. Having dealt with them, you will be able to move faster towards your goal and feel confident during the exam. Let's go!
Fear of speaking because of accent
Many people are embarrassed to speak, thinking that their accent will give them away. But the truth is that no one expects perfect pronunciation! The more you speak, the faster you get used to it, and the better your Polish becomes.
Learning words out of context
Memorizing lists of words may seem like a good idea, but without context they are quickly forgotten. Instead, learn words in sentences, memorize examples, and the language itself will “lie” on your speech.
Too much grammar, too little practice
Grammar is important, but if all you focus on is it, the language can seem complicated and boring. Try alternating: a little grammar and more practical exercises - dialogues, texts, listening.
Expecting quick results
Everyone wants results right away, but learning a language takes time. Don't give up if something doesn't work the first time. Small steps every day lead to big results.
Ignoring the exam format
Many people prepare for the exam without paying attention to its format. Learn how the tasks are conducted, what types of questions there are, and you will feel more confident in the exam.
