He states, \u201cSince 1989 when Poland was released from the grip of Soviet Russia, the country has grown and developed exponentially so that today Poland is one of the new tiger economies of Europe. Poland now takes her place as an equal among the Nations of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is fitting then that we are going to now introduce to classrooms in Scotland an interactive, web-based handbook to assist teachers who choose to teach Polish as an L3 language. The <em>Ten Steps to L3 Polish<\/em> handbook has been designed to introduce learners and teachers to the customs, culture and traditions of Poland while learning the basics of the language.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to the handbook, free language lessons for teachers will be offered to provide support and encouragement. We are eager to welcome Scotland\u2019s teachers to both the handbook and lessons and look forward to hearing enthusiastic Polish voices in classrooms across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These classes are aimed at teachers planning to introduce Polish as an L3.
