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.

Wiem. Tylko że zanim się poznaliśmy, przez sześć lat broniłam w pierwszej lidze.
I know. The thing is, before we met, I kept goal in the First League for six years.

Ty grałaś w piłkę? I ja się o tym dowiaduję dopiero teraz?
You played football? And I'm only finding out now?

Bo nigdy nie zapytałeś. Mówiłeś głównie o sobie i swoich golach.
Because you never asked. You mostly talked about yourself and your goals.

No dobra, przyjdź. Tylko się nie obraź, jak chłopaki będą cię oszczędzać.
Fine, come along. Just don't take it personally if the lads go easy on you.
