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.

Czemu masz dziś muchy w nosie? Przecież wernisaż w piątek się udał.

Udał się? Przyszło dwadzieścia osób, a gazeta napisała: „Młodej malarce brak własnego stylu”.
Went well? Twenty people came, and the paper wrote: 'The young painter lacks a style of her own.'

Gazeta to nie wszystko. Weź się w garść i zajrzyj do księgi gości.
The paper isn't everything. Pull yourself together and have a look in the guestbook.

Tu ktoś napisał: „Brak słów, ogromny talent”. Mamo, to twoje pismo!
Someone's written here: 'Speechless, a huge talent.' Mum, that's your handwriting!

I co z tego? Nigdzie nie jest napisane, że matce nie wolno.
So what? Nowhere does it say a mother isn't allowed to.

Ale dziesięć razy, i to za każdym razem innym długopisem? Przesadziłaś, mamo.
But ten times, and with a different pen every time? You've gone too far, Mum.

Żeby ten z gazety zobaczył, że ludzie są zachwyceni. Jutro wpiszę się ołówkiem.
So the man from the paper can see people are thrilled. Tomorrow I'll use a pencil.
