Day 13: Three Hours of Sleep
In the library of the University of Szczecin during exam season, Tomek (A) and Wiktoria (B) are revising when their lecturer, Professor Anna Krawczyk (C), walks past.
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.

Nie dam rady. Od tygodnia śpię po trzy godziny.
I can't do it. I've been sleeping three hours a night for a week.

Tomek, nie wolno się tak zajeżdżać. Daj sobie odrobinę luzu.
Tomek, you can't run yourself into the ground like this. Cut yourself a bit of slack.

Przepraszam, że przeszkadzam. Pan się uczy do mojego egzaminu?
Sorry to interrupt. Are you studying for my exam?

Tak, pani profesor. Ale nic mi już nie wchodzi do głowy.
Yes, Professor. But nothing's going in any more.

Brak snu to fatalna metoda nauki. Egzamin mogę panu przesunąć o tydzień.
Not sleeping is a terrible way to study. I can move your exam back a week.

A mnie też pani przesunie? Śpię jeszcze mniej.
And would you move mine too? I sleep even less.
