Over dinner at home in EÅ‚k, sixteen-year-old Leon (A) tells his father Radek (B), an accountant, the result of a career test he took at school.
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.

Tato, na doradztwie robiliśmy test. Wyszło mi, że powinienem pracować w lesie.
Dad, we did a test in our careers lesson. My result says I should work in a forest.

B
W lesie? Ty, który wychodzisz z pokoju tylko do lodówki?
In a forest? You, who only leave your room to go to the fridge?

W ankiecie pytali, czy wolę ciszę, czy ludzi. No to zaznaczyłem ciszę.
The questionnaire asked whether I prefer quiet or people. So I ticked quiet.
-
B
Ciszę faktycznie lubisz. Przyrodę natomiast znasz głównie z ekranu telefonu.
You do like quiet, that's true. Nature, on the other hand, you mostly know from your phone screen.

No dobra, pod koniec klikałem cokolwiek, bo zaraz miał być dzwonek.
OK, fine, towards the end I was just clicking anything, because the bell was about to go.

Z przeznaczeniem się nie żartuje. Ja też zaznaczałem cokolwiek i wyszedł mi księgowy.
You don't mess with fate. I ticked any old answer too, and I came out as an accountant.
