First of all you need to give a lot of time to the sound system, the way things
are written and pronounced.

After all, the rest he could in theory get from a book.

You also should be ready to explain the REASON why words like "hamburger" take
an accusative in "a" - after all, it's not alive is it.

"Poprosze hamburgera" you say, but "poprosze sok". You need to be sure you can
explain to your friend just exactly WHY that is.
