Alternatives
The best ZdajB1 alternatives, and who each is for
If ZdajB1 is close but you want to learn Polish broadly, get human coaching, or practise speaking, here are real alternatives and where each fits.
These are named, established alternatives chosen for how they overlap with ZdajB1's actual job — preparing to write in Polish. ZdajB1 itself is brand new; this list is about fit, not a ranking of popularity.
Duolingo — free gamified practice
Free, gamified daily practice that builds general Polish vocabulary and grammar. Best for building the language broadly, not for exam-specific writing.
Busuu — a structured course
A structured Polish course across reading, writing, and grammar, with some community feedback. Best if you want to learn the language generally.
Preply — human tutors
A marketplace of human tutors who can coach you toward the exam with personalised feedback and speaking practice. Best if you want a human in the loop.
italki — another tutor marketplace
Another marketplace for one-on-one Polish lessons with tutors. Best as an alternative source of human coaching.
A general AI chatbot
If you just want quick, unstructured feedback on a piece of writing, a general AI tool does that — you lose the B1 curriculum, exam-format structure, and progress tracking ZdajB1 adds.
