Only a single 30min lesson

I already know some Polish and as there was no information about what the levels relate to I thought I'd start at the beginning and race through the first few lessons. I was bitterly disappointed when I discovered this only includes a single 30min lesson which is very basic and at a similar level to free podcasts (though without annoying music jingles)
A lot of emphasis on pronunciation of a couple of sentences and no significant help with grammar.

Songs of Innocence?

I didn't want this "item", it was added to my account without my consent, and had I been asked, I would have said NO. It feels similar to the time apple and Itunes made everyone download a U2 album whether they wanted it or not, in a digital rape sort way, soiling my hard drive with non-consensual ditigal penetration. I like U2 and their music. If the industrial sales machine that calls itself amazon had even bothered to ask me, I would have replied that I did not want it. In a similar way to a traumatic event, as the gloating perpetrator becomes the tormentor, they won't even let me delete it.

this is a first chapter of the learning program and I can't wait to start the second :) very good but you will need to repeat the words daily to remember ...
