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.

Mamo, od dzisiaj mam trzynaście lat, więc mogę wreszcie założyć Instagrama. Obiecałaś!

Obiecałam. Tylko że na Instagramie jesteś już od urodzenia.
I did. The thing is, you've been on Instagram since the day you were born.

Na moim koncie. Wrzucam tam dla babci twoje zdjęcia, od pierwszych kroków po naukę pływania.
On my account. I post your photos there for Gran, from your first steps to learning to swim.

Pokazujesz mnie całemu światu bez pytania? Chociaż czekaj, ile to konto ma obserwujących?
You're showing me to the whole world without asking? Then again, hang on, how many followers has the account got?

Czterysta osób, głównie ciocie i sąsiadki. Oddam ci je, ale zdjęcie z nocnikiem zostaje.
Four hundred people, mostly aunties and neighbours. I'll hand it over, but the potty photo stays.
