How to learn Polish
How I did it: I was born into it (luckily, otherwise I'm not sure if I would have bothered ;) and since my grammar and spelling are pretty good, I'm ready to help out with any translations, unknown words or other issues.
Polish grammar is very complex (there's the 7 noun cases for a start ;) ) which makes it both quite hard to learn and very satisfying in terms of wordplay. Don't worry though, even without mastering the grammar one can be understandable, and the Polish will appreciate your efforts :)
Lessons & tips: Once you get the basic hang of the language: read, read, read to subconsciously familiarize yourself with all the forms. We do have some very nice literature that is difficult to translate: Sapkowski and Lem spring to mind (but just because I'm a scifi/fantasy guy ;) )
