Start with the 500 phrases for a first month in Poland, the page on the mistakes English speakers make, and the statistics page for the Polish half of the corpus.
Start with the 500, and read the shop section twice. Reklamówkę? is the whole question a Polish cashier asks you, and a single noun arriving as a question is not something a course prepares you for. Polish grammar is why there are no frequency lists here yet. A Polish list ranked by form would teach forms you meet once; ranked by dictionary headword, it would hide the form you actually hear. We would rather publish that page late than publish it wrong.
