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, na wyzwanie pi臋膰dziesi臋ciu dw贸ch tygodni. Odk艂adam systematycznie, co tydzie艅 z艂ot贸wk臋 wi臋cej, a to ju偶 czterdziesty trzeci.
No, it's for the fifty-two-week challenge. I put money away regularly, one z艂oty more every week, and this is week forty-three.
