No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Came here looking for this comment.
I only made it because someone had to, and no one had yet.
You might be on to something here
Might have even better luck in Chicago.
A friend of mine said that he found looking for streamers on Twitch that stream something you're interested in with your target language. Cos they most likely have a discord server, and it gives you the opportunity to converse with their community, and you'll often be welcomed and helped out.
Also Polish discord servers are a good place to start. From top of my head I know streamer ones like JacexDowozWideo or ARHN.EU which both should be welcoming, and even though we're on lemmy I know that the subreddit r/polska also has a discord server as well, so it should be a nice place to start.
You could try italki. I’ve not used it myself but it’s got a good reputation.
I don't know how active the polish community on it is in your area, but there's an app called Amikumu that exists to help connect people with people that speak the languages they are learning.
Depending on where you live, if theres a decent sized polish populationo you can also ask around at polish social clubs, churches, bars/restaurants, etc. Odds are that someone there either speaks at least some polish or knows someone who does.
HelloTalk is an app that's designed for this. It basically just lets you message people who speak a certain language.
Wykop.pl is a Polish (centralized) social network and they will love someone who wants to learn the language.
Not sure if this is a universal concept but most larger cities around here have 'language cafes', both for learning the native tongue and for practicing a new language
I haven’t looked at polish specifically, but I’ve had success with practicing languages on discord servers for language. If you check disboard for language servers, the large ones have plenty of people who want to practice
