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.

Panie Kajetanie, skÄ…d tyle ciasta? Ma pan urodziny?

Nie, zostało z wesela siostry. Mama piekła przez cały tydzień.
No, it's left over from my sister's wedding. Mum was baking all week.

Aż tyle? Goście nic nie jedli?
This much? Didn't the guests eat anything?

Jedli, ale na weselu nie może zabraknąć ciasta. Mama zawsze piecze podwójnie.
