The article discusses the problems concerning vocabulary introduced insome popular contemporary coursebooks for Polish language teaching.What can be sometimes found in them are words and expressions notsuiting the language level of the course, some of them rare, specialized,obsolete, marked in a characteristic way, regional. It also happens thatwords are used improperly in the context or they are consolidated inunnatural linguistic contexts. Also some problems with proper namesappear – they sometimes have a confusing form or, with no good reason,they are very difficult to pronounce. The situation is partly the result ofthe authors’ efforts made to simplify grammar or introduce humorousatmosphere during the lesson.
