Our story

We left the big platforms to build something more Polish.

TAKTalk started with one native tutor who believed learning Polish should feel personal — not like just another course in a crowded marketplace.

Meet the founder

Karolina taught Polish online for years. Then she decided to do it her way.

For a long time, I taught Polish on one of the large international language platforms — the kind where you're one tutor among thousands, and a student is just another booking. It worked, but something was missing. People weren't just trying to learn a language. They were trying to build a life here — pass the citizenship exam, understand their in-laws, order food without switching to English out of habit.

I'd lived that feeling myself — years spent traveling and living outside Poland before deciding to invest back home, building something rooted here instead of teaching from inside someone else's platform.

That's why I started TAKTalk in 2026: a school built specifically for people making Poland home, not a general marketplace with Polish as one language among fifty others.

How TAKTalk works

A curated network, not an open marketplace.

TAKTalk isn't a platform where anyone can list themselves as a tutor. Every teacher is personally selected, native, and matched to you based on your actual goal — whether that's conversational fluency, the B1 citizenship exam, or simply feeling less lost in daily Polish life. You tell us where you're starting from and where you want to go; we connect you with the right tutor and stay involved to make sure the fit works.

What makes us different

Built around how you'll actually use Polish.

Fluent, qualified tutors

Every tutor speaks Polish at a native or near-native level and is trained to teach it as a foreign language — personally vetted, not just listed.

A real path to the citizenship exam

We specialize in B1-level preparation for the official Polish citizenship exam, not generic conversation classes with exam content added on top.

A Polish company, not a foreign platform

Founded in Poland in 2026, TAKTalk is registered and run by someone who teaches Polish and lives the reality of building a life here.
