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.

Obiecałeś temu klientowi auto na piątek? Skrzynia biegów przyjdzie dopiero w poniedziałek!
You promised that customer his car for Friday? The gearbox won't arrive until Monday!

Nie miej do mnie pretensji. Z krzyczącym klientem nie da się normalnie rozmawiać.
Don't blame me. You can't talk normally to a customer who's shouting.

Bardzo śmieszne. Od dziś terminy podaje ten, kto naprawia auta.
Very funny. From now on, deadlines are set by whoever fixes the cars.
