Learning Polish audio CD?

Hello.

I have just started to learn German about a month ago using the 'Hugo in 3 months' audio CD course and I seem to be picking it up very quickly and really enjoying it. So I want to start learning another language and I'm quite interested in Polish. The Hugo series doesn't have a recent Polish course and I've looked on amazon but most of the learn Polish books featured on there seem to have bad reviews and seem really inadequate. I've seen a "Take off in Russian" book and CD published by Oxford University Press, but I know how complex their alphabet is and I don't really want to throw myself into the deep end by learning Russian, at least not just yet.

Can anybody recommend any good Book and CD language courses that might be some help? I'm looking for serious in-depth language learning here as well, not one of these god awful "learn before you land" type tourism books.

Thanks.

Which language should we teach first our son?

We are a Polish/ Portuguese couple living in Switzerland, we speak english at home, french and german at the job (official languages where we work). We'd like our son to communicate properly with his grandparents, with us and his friends. Which language should we teach him first? Why?

How do you write welcome in Polish?

I don't know if there are specific rules, but it would be referring to a group of people.

anyone who speaks polish?

how do you pronounce this name:
LEJZEN
it's my family name but we don't pronounce it right. I just wanted to now what the right pronunciation is

How do I stay confident in this situation?

I work as a researcher at the #1 news station in the country. I'm working hard to become a reporter, but since english's not my native language,I have a small accent. I've been working very hard to polish my pronunciation as my boss told me it was the only thing preventing me from working in front of the camera. Lately,I have been discouraged because everyone seems to be moving up and I'm struggling to convince everyone I am worth being a reporter as well. How can I stay confident in this cut-troath industry?

Good website for learning Polish (free)?

I would like to learn Polish (especially conversational). I've been directed to the site below, but the speaker is much too fast, and gives long phrases. I'm good with languages, but I can't make out at all what he's saying. It's a shame, because otherwise it looks like a well laid-out website.

TIA!

How do you handle jealousy?

I have this coworker/ friend for 2 years.Lately i been noticing weird behaviors.She live in a condo with her boyfriend and undergraduate university student.I have a high school diploma and live in a appartement and no boyfriend for a year.She always saying that i'm lucky because i'm well dress (polish look),good vocabulary(english is my second language.I speak french) She says "your so lucky because this girl likes you and you have a lot people at work that appreciate you"Always asking me advice.When i buy a new shirt 1 week later buys the same but a different color. One time i felt kinda of depress(personal issues) and instead of asking me what's wrong , she ask me if i was mad at her and if she did something wrong.I said no but she keep going on about how she feels when i'm sad.She kept sayind "Are you mad at me?" (she's 28 years old)

For a health assignment, I need to make a collage of images and a written assignment. I lost my paper with a list of examples that had items in our everyday lives with poisons also found in cigarettes, and now, I can't really think of anything. So I need five to ten objects that have toxic ingredients also found in cigarettes, and the name of the poison.

Like, I thought of nail polish remover. I'm not quite sure of the chemical that's in them, but I'm just using it as an example.

Thanks!
