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.

A
Proszę pana, bierzemy to mieszkanie na parterze z ogródkiem.
We'll take the ground-floor flat with the garden.

B
Chwileczkę, a co to za kwadrat za naszym płotem? Na wizualizacji rosły tam drzewa.
Hang on, what's that square behind our fence? The artist's impression had trees growing there.
-
C
Wizualizacje mają charakter poglądowy. To śmietnik, przeniesiony tu na prośbę sąsiadów z bloku obok.
Artist's impressions are for illustrative purposes only. That's the bin store, moved here at the request of the residents of the block next door.

A
Kochanie, są też plusy. Do śmietnika będziemy mieli dwa kroki.
There's an upside too, love. We'll only be two steps from the bins.
-
B
Bardzo śmieszne. A nie należy nam się jakiś rabat z powodu takiego sąsiedztwa?
Very funny. And aren't we entitled to some sort of discount, with a neighbour like that?
-
C
Rabatu nie przewidujemy, ale posadzimy wzdłuż płotu gęstą zieleń. Dzięki niej śmietnika nie będzie widać.
We aren't planning any discounts, but we'll plant thick greenery along the fence. That way you won't see the bins.

B
Drzewa też miały być. Oby ta zieleń nie była tylko poglądowa.
There were supposed to be trees too. Let's hope the greenery isn't for illustrative purposes only.
