The titled „margins” of the Polish as a foreign language textbooks can be the subjects which are less attractive, “worse” or sensitive (for example a poverty, a corruption, taboo), and also which concern the opposition own-foreign showing the second part of this opposition as a “worse”. These last margins should be avoided in the communicative textbooks, as they are based on the idea of an egalitarianism and individualism. However, the examples from the latest Polish as a foreign language textbooks which are presented in this paper prove it is not always successful. It is surely caused by the bias of the Polish nation which considers everything that is different or foreign to be simply the “worse”. It can also be said that the characteristic features of the Polish language are a christianism and xenophobia.
