Summary/Abstract: Coursebooks, due to their printed form, rely on the graphic representation of language, i.e. writing. As the letters and sounds in Polish are not in full correspondence, the presentation of sounds becomes problematic. Not all authors of coursebooks of Polish as a foreign language are aware of this. The article looks at how the problems of sound production are approached in three chosen coursebooks Start 1, Hurra!!! Po polsku 1, Polski jest cool A1. Two of the three analysed coursebooks treat pronunciation as a customary addition to the course rather than a starting point to learning/teaching Polish.
