Day 10: A Ban on Balcony Barbecues?
Over Sunday breakfast in Opole, Krzysztof (A) tells his grown-up son Paweł (B) about something he has read online.
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.

No nie. Ale po co ktoś miałby wymyślać takie bzdury?
Well, no. But why would anyone make up nonsense like that?
