Over breakfast in their flat in Åšwidnica, eight-year-old IgnaÅ› (A) asks his father, Sylwester (B), about something that has been worrying him.
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.

Przepraszam, synku. Ostatnio gorzej śpię z powodu pracy, ale to nic groźnego.
Sorry, son. I haven't been sleeping well lately because of work, but it's nothing serious.

Jesteś na mnie zły? Bo już w ogóle się nie śmiejesz.
Are you cross with me? Because you don't laugh at all any more.

Skąd! Mój projekt jest właśnie oceniany, więc jestem trochę spięty, ale to nie twoja wina.
Of course not! My project is being assessed right now, so I'm a bit tense, but it's not your fault.
