Day 70: Let the Branches Hang

At their allotment in Częstochowa, Ryszard (A) asks his wife Barbara (B) what to do about the neighbour's pear tree.

How to study this lesson 3 steps
  1. Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    Either have a word with him or let it go.

  3. A

    Rozmawiałem. Nic z nimi nie zrobi, bo szkoda mu gruszek.
