Firstly, listen to Polish. It is impossible to learn any foreign language without contact with it. Let your brain adapt to new sounds and vocabulary.

In real life Polish people speak very fast and they do not clearly distinguish ever word. I highly recommend that you subscribe to Polish YouTubers, among Others 7 metrów pod Ziemią, Inaczej Mówiąc and Arlena Witt.
The makers of this channel use brilliant, official language and they have good diction.

Another way to introduce the language into daily life is to listen to Polish songs. There are thousands of soundtracks so everyone will find something appealing.

Currently, some of the most popular musicians are Dawid Podsiadło, Natalia Nykiel, Cleo, Roksana Węgiel and Vicky Gabor.
