Polish Language School Avis 7

I honestly do NOT recommend choosing this school or paying them upfront.

I paid 4,491 PLN for a one year in person Polish language course and today, in May, I still have had ZERO classes.

The course was repeatedly delayed, I received no lessons, no books, no teacher contact and after requesting a refund I spent almost two full months without meaningful responses.

The only time they started responding again was after I publicly started sharing my experience online regarding Vistula Polish Language School. Now I am again without answers and still without my money.

From what I personally observed, Vistula Polish Language School used to be the main brand publicly promoted. Now Hello Polish appears to be receiving more focus publicly, and even the administrative email communication I received later started changing from “Vistula” references to “Hello Polish”.

Both appear connected with the same NIP: 9452141293.

I strongly recommend being extremely careful with Hello Polish because it appears associated with the same people and structure connected with Vistula Polish Language School.

Please research carefully before making any payment:
• “Vistula Polish Language School reviews”
• “Hello Polish reviews”
• “9452141293”
• “Karolina M****”
• “Polish course Kraków”
• “TRC school Poland”

I am sharing this so other foreigners and immigrants in Poland do not lose money like I did.

Cities advertised:
Gdańsk, Katowice, Kraków, Warszawa, Poznań and Wrocław.

I wish I had seen this page earlier. I paid one time payment for one-year online course and unfortunately, my experience has been extremely disappointing.

At the beginning, they were actively responding via email (Wiktoria, Hanna, I cannot confirm if these are their real names). Once my payment was confirmed (I sent a PDF confirmation), their communication changed significantly. They continued responding only when I mentioned I might enroll a friend to benefit from their “50% discount” offer. After I confirmed I would be registering alone, they stopped responding altogether.

I tried calling every phone number listed on their website, but none of them were reachable.

The course was supposed to start on 10.01.2025. On that same day, I received an SMS from “POLISH LS” (no visible phone number), signed “Regards, Monika,” stating that the course would be delayed by two weeks. After that period, there was still no communication, no replies to emails, and no way to contact them.

What made this situation seem legitimate at first is that the bank account provided is registered in Warsaw with Bank BGŻ BNP Paribas SA, a well-known bank in Poland. This gave me a sense of trust at the time.

Based on my experience, I recommend caution.

If you are in a similar situation, you may consider contacting Polish consumer protection authorities. You can submit a complaint through official channels such as: uokik.gov.pl

For formal communication, you may also consider contacting the listed business owner directly using publicly available business registry information.

Please do your own research and proceed carefully.

Filthy Scam

I wish I had seen this page earlier. I paid for the first installement of a stationary one year course in Krakow. They are actively reponding via email (Wiktoria, Hanna). If that their real names!!

Once the payment been confirmed (by sending the PDF confirmation by email), they were responding only because I was considereing enrolling my friend with me to benefit from their 50% discount when bringing your friend. When I informed them that I will be registering alone, they stopped responding to my emails.

I tried calling every phone number in the website but it is not reachable.

The course was supposed to start on 26.01.2026 then on the same day I receive an SMS from "POLISH LS", not even a visible phone number, ending with "Regards, Monika" saying that the course will delayed for 2 weeks.

Meaning it should have had started today 17.02.2026, yet no response to my emails nor phone calls.

The problem is their bank account is registered in Warsaw, Bank BGŻ BNP Paribas SA. So it didn't feel suspescious. A known bank in Poland, yet I fell for it.

I am trying my best to retrieve the money back, and we will see.

Scam
This site has no office. The assistant named Monika replied to me very quickly before enrolment. But after I enrolled they wrote me nothing. The important is, i was applying through their so called polish language school for TRC and they said they will provide it for me in 1 working day. However after I enrolled, i got no documents!!! They play with people's lives easily. If you're applying for TRC they are absolutely a big scammer.

We had about 5 months of lessons twice a week and then the owner refused to pay the teachers and refused to give people refunds, lied and scammed their way out of it. Do not believe their lies I, my friends and so many other unfortunate people around Poland caught in the trap, have had our money taken from us so whilst we probably won't see that money again we want to help stop others from falling into the same trap.

The school does not actually exist anymore, but the owner continues to sell courses. Their physical offices have been closed down, they still actively sell online classes, but it's a scam. There are many victims and groups for victims who are bringing legal cases against the former school's owner. In my group, we had two weeks of actual classes and everything seemed normal, then abruptly the course stopped happening with no explanation from the school. When we kept asking for refunds, the owner promised she would give us a refund after 30 days, then she blocks anyone who continues to ask. They delete the many negative comments on sites that still allow her to advertise.

This is a scam site. They will take an up-front payment for a Polish course, and will provide a few classes, then cancel the rest without a refund. This was my experience with them.

Edit: I can provide details of bank transfers/invoices, fake promises of refunds from the owner, and the names of many other students who were also scammed in the same way.
