In a café in Wrocław after work, Ola (A) asks her friends Michał (B) and Magda (C) about their offices.
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.

Same with us. Everyone comes in earlier and earlier to get a seat by the window.

Dłużej, ale nie lepiej. Pierwsza godzina to kawa i plotki.
Longer, but not better. The first hour is coffee and gossip.
