Polish for the day ahead
Jestem helps you learn Polish vocabulary for life in Poland, with translations in English, Russian or Ukrainian. Study the words you need for a conversation, a shop, a workday or an appointment, with meanings in your own language.
The illustrated cards combine a Polish word with a translation, pronunciation hint and example sentence. Practice in both directions, then return to older cards through spaced review.
Highlights
- Pick your translation language: English, Russian or Ukrainian, switchable in your profile; interface also in Polish and Belarusian
- Pronunciation hints for English speakers: the stressed syllable is marked
- Several ways to practice: translation, listening, picture quizzes, gap-fill exercises, spelling, memory matching and odd-one-out rounds
- Familiar words, fewer traps: start with international words you already recognize; false friends are written separately for Russian and Ukrainian speakers
- A daily routine: word goals, spaced review, an optional reminder, XP and streaks
- Everyday topics: conversations, work, documents, shopping, home, health and travel
- Optional Pro: removes ads and adds the timed Speed challenge; core topics remain free
Polish audio uses your device’s text-to-speech voices. Install a Polish voice if your phone does not already have one.
