Questions & Answers about W tym semestrze uczę się polskiego codziennie po pracy.

Why does the sentence start with w tym semestrze?

W tym semestrze means in this semester / this semester. It sets the time frame for the whole sentence.

Polish often puts time expressions near the beginning, especially when they give important context. In English, we might also say:

• This semester, I study Polish every day after work.

So the Polish word order is very natural here.

Why is it w tym semestrze, not ten semestr?

Because the preposition w usually requires the locative case when it means in.

So:

• ten semestr = nominative, this semester
• w tym semestrze = locative, in this semester

The forms change like this:

• ten → tym
• semestr → semestrze

This is a very common pattern after w.
