Day 146: One CV Will Do
At a copy shop in Władysławowo in June, sixteen-year-old Antonina (A) asks the young man at the counter (B) to print her CV.
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.

A
Dzień dobry, chciałabym wydrukować CV z telefonu. Trzydzieści sztuk.
Hello, I'd like to print my CV from my phone. Thirty copies.
-
B
Trzydzieści? Widzę, że pani szuka pracy na wakacje.
Thirty? I can see you're looking for a summer job.
-
A
Tak, ale wszędzie przyjmują dopiero od osiemnastu lat.
Yes, but everywhere they only take you once you're eighteen.
-
B
U nas można od szesnastu, oczywiście za zgodą rodziców.
Here you can start at sixteen, with your parents' consent, of course.

A
Serio? A co trzeba robić?
Seriously? And what would I have to do?
-
B
To, co ja robię, tylko szybciej. A trzydzieści CV chyba się już pani nie przyda.
What I do, only faster. And I don't think you'll need thirty CVs any more.
