Day 189: Two Sets of Keys, Please
At a key-cutting kiosk in Kluczbork, a young man (A) who has just moved house asks the owner (B) to copy his keys.
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.

To niech pan wymieni zamek. Dorabiała u mnie klucze dla wnuków, a także dla sąsiadek.
Then you'd better change the lock. She had keys cut here for her grandchildren, and for her neighbours as well.
