How Lingoput Helps You Learn Polish with Comprehensible Input - and how it pairs with TaleTutor

A shared Mission: What is LingoPut and How is it helping Comprehensible Input learners?

As the solo developer and language learner, it’s always exciting to find another creator who’s just as passionate about comprehensible input as I am—especially when their work happens to align with one of my own target languages: Polish.

Learning Polish through immersion hasn't been an easy challenge, with the complicated nature of the language, few resources and no local support. But now, with comprehensible input tools like Lingoput, TaleTutor and Polish beginner resources online, learners can finally access a more natural, personalised way to learn Polish from scratch. Lingoput, the first true comprehensible input collection for Polish learners. Inspired by Dreaming Spanish, Lingoput’s founder Szymon set out to build the same kind of immersive, natural input experience—but tailored to his native language. And honestly, the Polish language learning world couldn’t be more grateful.

What makes Lingoput stand out, aside from its valuable content, is the philosophy behind it. Like TaleTutor, it prioritises real fluency through exposure and understanding, rather than just drilling vocabulary or grammar rules. It also recognises something a lot of language platforms overlook: no two learners are the same. Personalisation isn’t just a bonus—it’s essential. There is a big gap for personalised language learning tools that are affordable. That’s why I believe TaleTutor and Lingoput don’t compete; they complement each other beautifully.

The Spark: From Copywriting to Comprehensible Input

Lingoput was born out of both necessity and inspiration. When Szymon’s successful copywriting agency was blindsided by the rise of AI-generated content, he didn’t wallow—he pivoted. Around the same time, he’d begun learning Spanish and was introduced to ALG and Comprehensible Input methods through Dreaming Spanish. That moment of convergence lit the spark.

Being a native Polish speaker gave him a unique edge—he knew the gaps in the market, and he already had a team of skilled creatives from his agency. The transition from client work to language creation was a mission change.

I wanted a business that helps people reach real goals, not just generate invoices

Szymon’s approach to language learning is practical and unpretentious. He doesn’t chase polyglot status for bragging rights. He speaks Polish, English, and Spanish, and can navigate a few other languages well enough for travel. But for him, language is a tool, not a trophy. A way to connect with people, places, and purpose.

That’s something I deeply relate to. We both view languages not as something to master and collect, but as something to use and experience. And like me, Szymon found comprehensible input to be the most effective method for language learning—something he’s now building into Lingoput from the ground up. Making Polish beginner listening practice available online for those brave enough to try.

Building LingoPut: How to start as a beginner in Polish?

Creating truly beginner-friendly, comprehensible input is no small task—especially in a language like Polish. Szymon and the Lingoput team know this challenge well. The reality is, beginners are beginners. They don’t have the vocabulary depth to rely on context clues at the start, so every sentence needs to be intentionally crafted to feel natural and understandable.

This is one of the big tensions with the Krashen method—it sounds simple in theory, but it’s incredibly nuanced in practice. That’s why Lingoput takes a flexible, experimental approach. Videos are adjusted by target level, tested with real learners, and often A/B tested with different formats for the beginner-friendly Polish videos. And if something slightly outside the pure comprehensible input model actually helps users understand better—they go with it. Because comprehension, not dogma, is the priority.

Szymon is refreshingly honest about the fact that perfect CI content doesn’t exist. Every learner brings different knowledge, context, and energy to each video. That’s why watching the same Lingoput video multiple times is encouraged—you’ll catch something new each time. Your brain will absorb what it’s ready for. Language acquisition can’t be forced. And Lingoput is built around that truth.

But here’s the catch—while Szymon builds this incredible Polish resource for learners worldwide, he’s also juggling life as a startup founder and a dad. It leaves him with little time to keep up with his own Spanish learning, but he’s in it for the long haul. Lingoput is as much a personal project as it is a product— and that's why it's the best Polish content for beginners.

Philosophy and Practice: How to learn Polish without grammar?

Lingoput is built on the core principle of immersion before instruction. Too often, language learners are pushed into memorising grammar rules and vocabulary lists before they can even understand or use the language. Szymon flips that approach on its head.

Much like how a child learns—through listening, absorbing, and eventually speaking*—Lingoput encourages learners to experience the language first. Grammar comes later, as a tool for refinement, not as a foundation. As Szymon puts it, starting with a grammar textbook is like learning the physics of bike riding before actually trying to ride. Your brain is wired to learn languages naturally—so trust it to do the job, even when it feels slow or frustrating. That’s the process of real acquisition.

Why TaleTutor and LingoPut work well together: How can I learnPolish using Comprenhensible Input?

With Polish immersion tools online being so few and far between, combining TaleTutor and LingoPut make for an excellent strategy for the immersion learner.

What makes Lingoput so valuable is that it fills a tough gap: it gives learners access to native-level Polish input, tailored for beginners, long before they’re ready to tackle full-on movies or podcasts. The videos are simple, repetitive, visually rich, and carefully designed to help learners connect words to meaning, not just translations.

TaleTutor fits naturally alongside that journey.

With TaleTutor, learners can generate personalised stories using the vocabulary they’ve picked up from Lingoput videos. Instead of passively watching, they can actively reinforce what they’re learning—reading or listening to short stories built from the exact words they’re acquiring. It’s a feedback loop: watch, absorb, apply, repeat.

Where Lingoput delivers high-quality input and intuitive understanding, TaleTutor offers personalisation and targeted reinforcement. Together, they give learners a more well-rounded, flexible way to build real fluency—on their own terms, at their own pace. A perfect language learning app collaboration.
