VerbaViva Is Open π: Our First Polish Term Starts October 12π₯³
We’ve just opened enrolment for our very first term, and we wanted you to hear it from us directly: live, small-group Polish classes for heritage kids, running October 12 to December 14, 2026.
Here’s what that actually means for your family.
What’s On Offer
- Two age groups: 6β10 and 11β15
- Three levels per group: beginner, intermediate, and advanced β so your child lands in the right class, not just the nearest one
- 10 weeks, one 50-minute live class a week, taught over Google Meet
- Real tutors, not recordings: our classes are live and led by Danuta, a native Polish speaker with a TEFL certificate and primary teaching experience
Where and When
Our first set of time slots happens to land well for Australian evenings β weekday, after-school classes across Sydney and Perth time zones. But this isn’t an Australia-only term.
If those times work out for wherever you are in the world, you’re just as welcome to join. A good time slot is a good time slot, regardless of the passport. Check the times against your own clock, and if it fits, come learn with us.
And if it doesn’t fit yet β this really is just the beginning. We’ll be opening more time slots soon, aimed at other time zones. If you’d like to be one of the first to know when a slot lands closer to your evening, get in touch and tell us where you’re based β it genuinely helps shape what we add next.
Why Not Just Use an App or AI?
Fair question β there’s a lot out there that promises to teach Polish for free, on your own time, with a bot doing the talking.
Here’s the honest answer: AI is genuinely good at vocabulary drills and patient repetition. What it can’t do is be Polish with your child β notice when a shy 8-year-old needs a gentler nudge instead of a correction, riff on a joke your child just made, or explain why a grandmother would say something a certain way and not another.
Heritage language isn’t just information to absorb. It’s identity, tied to real people. That part still needs a real person β someone who reacts, adapts mid-sentence, and actually cares whether your child gets it. That’s what Danuta brings to every class, and it’s not something we’re interested in automating away.
Why We’re Starting Here, Now
We’re a new, small operation based in Poland β which means every class is genuinely hands-on, not run through a call centre. Spaces in each group are kept deliberately small, so places for this first term are limited.
If your child already hears or speaks some Polish at home and you want that to turn into real reading, writing, and confident conversation β this term is built for exactly that.
