Varia Polish Language Center

Polish in the Heart of Kraków

VARIA is a Polish language centre at Michałowskiego 2/3, a short walk from Kraków's Main Market Square. The school has taught Polish to foreign learners since 2004 and welcomes students from many countries each year. Instruction concentrates on practical communication so learners can use Polish in daily life, study and work.

Courses for Adults

The core offer is a semester course of 52 lessons, held twice a week in morning or evening groups and open to levels A1 to C2. An intensive three-week course delivers 60 lessons, four lessons a day, and suits learners who want to move up a level quickly. A year-long programme is also available for students planning a longer stay in Kraków. Exam candidates can take a B1 preparatory course, while summer courses combine Polish lessons with cultural workshops and integration events.

Levels, Exams and Flexibility

Groups are organised across proficiency levels from beginner to advanced, with placement tests helping newcomers find the right class. Students preparing for an exam can focus on the B1 preparation course. Individual lessons, tailored to personal goals, are available for adults and children, and companies can arrange Polish training at their workplace. Classes take place in person at the Kraków school, supported by workshops, social meetings and language events that connect learners with Polish culture and with each other.
