Day 156: My Cat, the Dog
During an IT lesson at a primary school in Boles艂awiec, ten-year-old Ida (A) calls over her teacher, Mrs Ludmi艂a (B), because the program the class is teaching to recognise animals has made a strange mistake.
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.

No w艂a艣nie. Program nie zwraca艂 uwagi na uszy ani na ogony, tylko na kanapy, na kt贸rych le偶膮 psy.
Exactly. The program didn't pay attention to ears or tails, just to the sofas the dogs are lying on.
