Testimonials from our customers
Andriy Vasylchenko
Learning a foreign language is always stressful to a certain extent. Especially when you realise that you live in the country whose language you are learning. On the one hand, the environment is kind of favourable, but on the other hand.... When I had my first lesson, my mood changed dramatically. Mrs Maja's enthusiasm, fire and great sense of humour gave a lot. Studying was not perceived as a burden or bondage, on the contrary - I can't remember when such a desire to learn was before. And when Mrs Liza was substituting, the lessons did not lose their charm. The material was given easily and at ease. The conversation club helped a lot. Many thanks to the teachers and organisers.
Natalie Gomyliaeva
I spent a long time choosing a Polish language course, I chose Litera and was very satisfied with it. Small groups, convenient class times, cosy atmosphere, excellent teachers. Thank you very much to Mrs Elisabeth, Mrs Albina and Mrs Martyna. This is just the beginning... I will come to the course to study the next level B2
Sergey Okrushko
For anyone who wants to start learning Polish and is thinking about choosing a course, I recommend the Litera school. They explain it clearly, the staff is nice, and those who need a residence card can get it through studying!
