At home in a village near Łańcut, Julian (A) tells his older brother Janek (B) which club he has joined.
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.

Na razie jestem od próbowania. Gdy gospodynie robią pierogi na jarmark, ktoś musi je sprawdzać.
For now I'm the taster. When the housewives make pierogi for the fair, someone has to check them.
