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.

Mnie też się opłaca. Gdy jeżdżę sam, płacę za całe paliwo.
It's worth it for me too. When I drive alone, I pay for all the petrol.

Może pan. Tylko proszę trzymać na kolanach paprotkę teściowej.
You can. Just hold my mother-in-law's fern on your lap, please.
