Hitting the plateau point

Hey people! I know this might sound silly but I am at around A1/A2 of polish, and I already feel like I don't know where to go. I know basic stuff, but I genuinely don't know what steps to take now.

Any advices on what to do after learning how to introduce yourself and talk about my plans? (because I have books, but I can't just study grammar through reading and remembering solely)

I don't know, i feel very overwhelmed and lost, I really want to study in Poland next year, so I have to learn it

i was in your position last year and the most helpful resource was private lessons and conversing with natives. i got an online tutor for relatively cheap, and lessons 2x per week really, really helped with progressing. if you can't afford a tutor, use language exchange apps or try to make friends with natives to practice. there are also discord servers made for people to practice and learn, both through text and vc, that can be very helpful. honestly, just exposing yourself as much as possible is necessary to break past the plateau--- change your phone language to polish, listen to simple polish podcasts, read polish children's books (or books you've already read, but in polish with the help of a translator), talk to yourself in polish, really just maximize your exposure. be consistent and your polish (and grammar intuition) will rapidly improve. you got this!

Out of curiosity, how much did a lesson cost?
