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.

Przepraszam, ogłoszenie na drzwiach jest jeszcze aktualne?
Excuse me, is the job on the door still going?

Już nie. Gdyby pani przyszła wczoraj, byłaby szansa.
Not any more. If you'd come yesterday, you'd have had a chance.

Szkoda. A na weekendy nikogo nie potrzeba?
Shame. And you don't need anyone at weekends?

Czasem na zastępstwo. Może zostawi pani numer, żeby szef mógł zadzwonić?
Sometimes, to cover shifts. Maybe you'd like to leave your number so the boss can call you?

Jasne. To chociaż napiję się kawy.
Sure. Then at least I'll have a coffee.
