In 2025, more than 19,000 foreigners were granted Polish citizenship — more than 10,000 of them Ukrainian.¹ That continues a steady climb: 16,647 people naturalized in 2024, up from 12,166 in 2023, 10,122 in 2022, and 7,960 in 2021.² Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Russians have led these numbers for several years. A certified B1 level of Polish — confirmed by an official state certificate — is the standard route to meet the legal language requirement for naturalization,³ which is exactly why exam-focused preparation, not general conversation classes, matters.
The official certyfikat B1 exam runs across two days, five graded modules:
Dialogues, announcements, and short recordings, with true/false and multiple-choice questions.
Everyday and journalistic texts with detail questions.
Grammar, conjugation, gap-fill, sentence transformation.
Practical formats: emails, letters, notices.
Photo description, a short monologue, and a situational dialogue, assessed on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
To pass, you need at least 50% in each of the 5 modules separately — a strong module can't compensate for a weak one.
Most candidates don't fail because their Polish is bad overall — they fail because one module (often writing, or the grammar-accuracy section) falls under 50% while the rest is fine. That's exactly what our mock exams are built to catch before the real thing.

Our citizenship-prep lessons follow a B1 exam-focused syllabus — grammar, writing, listening, and speaking — with mock oral and written tests run under real exam conditions. Practice is built directly on the official exam format, not generic conversation.

Poland requires a certified B1 level (intermediate) for naturalization applications. That means holding a conversation about everyday topics, understanding spoken instructions, and reading simple official documents — the exact skills our citizenship-prep lessons drill.
No — the certificate is issued by Poland's state examination system, not by TAKTalk. You take the official exam at an accredited center (in cities like Warsaw, Kraków, Gdańsk, Wrocław, and Łódź) after preparing with us. Registration happens directly with the exam center, usually opens about two months before each of the five yearly sessions (February, April, June, October, and December), and involves a separate fee — roughly 730 zł — on top of your TAKTalk package. Your tutor can help you plan your lesson timeline around the session you're aiming for.
All TAKTalk lessons are live, one-on-one or in small groups, over video call with a native-speaking tutor. There are no pre-recorded courses — every session adapts to how you are actually progressing.
No. You can start from zero Polish, with no Slavic-language background. Tutors teach in English or Russian depending on what you are most comfortable with, and adjust pace accordingly.
