How to study this lesson 3 steps
- Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
- Read the dialogue line by line with its translation, until every line makes sense. Point at (or tap) a Polish word to see what it means.
- Spend at least 30 minutes listening to native Polish, for example from the Resources page. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yet.
Dialogue
Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

Radek, jesteś blady jak ściana. Chory jesteś?

No, I'm just worn out after the move. I spent the whole weekend carrying boxes up to the fourth floor.

Jak to? Przecież zamówiłeś firmę od przeprowadzek.
How come? You booked a removal company, didn't you?

Zamówiłem. Przyjechał jeden pan, silny jak byk, ale z chorymi plecami.
I did. One man turned up, as strong as an ox, but with a bad back.
