I will add, however, that many of the sites in the search results will be rife with all sorts of embedded ads and imported scripts. I won’t vouch for the safety of any of them.

In fact Poland has nearly three times the number of citizens living elsewhere in the EU than the UK does.
Let’s discuss it in the tread dedicated to Brexit

Well, I don’t think this matter is (for me) really Brexit related, in fact.
Perhaps there is some misunderstanding about what I said? When I talk about there being a large number of Polish people living in the UK, I am stating this as a positive point, and indeed as reason in favour of learning Polish!
(I apologise if my intended meaning was somehow not clear.)
It seems you have asked your question. You want to learn Polish 
Yeah, but Russian is so BIG you know, so…hmmm…
I learned Polish for the purpose of communicating with the Polish community in my own village.
Best.decision.ever.
Jesli chcesz, mogliśmy porozmawiać razem w przyszłym tygodniu lub we wrześniu wieczorem.
No, jak masz czas mozemy troche pogadac gdzies we wrzesniu byloby dla mnie najlepsze.
I’ve imported many of my own Polish material. Just a shame we are not allowed to share because of copyright. I’m just starting on Russian now and enjoying the Russian from Zero course. It’s very satisfying learning the alphabet and being able to read Russian words. It’s also nice because so many words are similar to Polish!
The Polish girlfriend idea made me smile. I have one friend who has gone through a French boyfriend and a Russian one in a year! What a way to learn languages…
Anyway! It is a tricky one. My interest in Russian is because I have Russian ancestors but the fact it is such a bureaucratic nightmare to get to Russia (sending things off for a visa, paying visa application fees etc.) feels very off putting to me. I have as yet never been to Russia.
Later this year I am going on a little trip to Bulgaria to Sofia no doubt I am going to fall in love with Bulgarian. Then there is Ukrainian which I actually think sounds nicer than Russian and Ukraine is also easier to travel to.
I did read somewhere that 1% of the UK are now Polish so Polish is now sort of a British Language too. Polish has also got some fantastic history, just look into Polish and Lithuanian commonwealth. Poland is fascinating there is no doubt about it.
If you do learn one of the slavic languages it will make it easier to learn another one no doubt. Personally because of my ancestors (apparently my great Babushka made theatrical costumes in the Mainsky theatre of St Petersburg), I am on the Russian band wagon.
It is a difficult decision deciding which one though. I think they all have something fascinating going for them.
Oh and Czech and Slovak! Goodness me! I’m been to Slovakia and I thought it was amazing. I also love listening to this Czech song:
Right now I’m focussing on Mandarin (to piss off Donald!!! :-D)
But my target list is:
Russian (or Polish??)
Mandarin
Farsi
(Plus a couple of others somewhere or other down the line…)
I like Mandarin, but even here there is a part of me that wishes I would have went for Cantonese instead. There are so many more resources for Mandarin - but I do love Hong Kong cinema.
Ah, the curse of the language enthusiast! :-0
Farsi is certainly interesting but have you considered Urdu we have 0.5% speakers of Urdu in this country. It is also linguistically very close to Hindi and I don’t think there is anything more addictive than a masala bollywood movie. Oh dear there I go causing more linguistic conundrums…
I’ll add I’ve been having an internal war between picking Irish and Welsh for some time…
Urdu and Bengali are both interesting to me. And Arminian, and Turkish, and…
But we only have one life!! 
BTW I’ve got some quite good resources lined up for Farsi - TY and Colloquial plus some (much better) German based stuff from Assimil and Buske Verlag. When Glossika Persian goes online, I reckon I’ll have enough to launch a serious attack.
There is also readlang which you can use to read your Farsi (I use it for Urdu) and Farvo for your pronounciation. Unknown words can be placed into a list with memrise. That is how I go about my Urdu learning (which has come to bit of a standstill lately).
Turkish is fascinating! I did dip my toe into it a bit with Duolingo and Lingq - I might pick it up again at some point.
And this guy’s lessons are fantastic: Lesson-1: Course-1 (Urdu Alphabet): Urdu Language Course for Non-Native Urdu Speakers - YouTube
Admittedly it is Urdu but as both Urdu and Farsi use Nastaliq I’m not sure there is very much difference? (no doubt there is likely to be another wonderful person doing Farsi somewhere on youtube…)
I do find the Arabic script tremendously daunting to read - especially without vowels. It seems to me to be even more challenging than Chinese characters! When one has learned a character, it can at least be immediately recognised.
(The difficulties with the script is one reason why I anticipate an audio-only approach to learning Farsi - at least until I have gotten some kind of foothold.)
Don’t worry. If you want to learn Arabic, once you learn the script the grammar is cake. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mCSnSQCdhfw/maxresdefault.jpg
and that’s one verb.
The script is not too bad I promise! Although nastaliq is a bit more evil than naskh (Arabic) which is at least on a nice flat line. I remember looking at the script and thinking there is no way on earth I will ever make any sense of this. But I did and I was even able to teach others how to read it too eventually! I recommend teaching yourself the initial medial and final positions of the first five letters . Just take it slowly. Get your first five letters and their positions learnt then take your Farsi text and colour in the letters as you spot them. Don’t worry about being able to read things completely or pronounce anything perfectly. This is about learning the shapes - the first and probably most difficult bit of reading it. The script is tricky but it isn’t impossible. It is also very beautiful and as an extra bonus people look at your like your some sort of wizard when you show them how to write it. :)!
I guess, Turkish is interesting because the grammer is asian, the script is latin, there are a lot of words from French and Farsi at the same time. I am not sure if there are enough lessons in the Turkish-LingQ.
