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.

Kamilko, od miesiąca wrzucam na Facebooka zdjęcia jabłek i ani jednego lajka.
Kamila, love, I've been posting photos of apples on Facebook for a month, and not a single like.

„Polecamy jabłka, gdyż są zdrowe i polskie.” Tato, piszesz jak urzędnik.
"We recommend apples, as they are healthy and Polish." Dad, you write like a civil servant.

A jak mam pisać? Założyłem konto, aby sprzedawać bez pośredników.
So how am I supposed to write? I set up the account to sell without middlemen.

B
Nieważne. To, co wrzucasz, widzisz tylko ty, bo masz ustawione „Tylko ja”.
Never mind that. Only you can see what you post, because you've got it set to "Only me".

A
Specjalnie tak ustawiłem. Nie chciałem, aby Sobczakowie zza płotu znali moje ceny.
I did that on purpose. I didn't want the Sobczaks over the fence to know my prices.

B
Czyli reklamujesz jabłka tak, żeby nikt się o nich nie dowiedział?
So you're advertising your apples so that nobody finds out about them?
-
A
No dobrze, niech widzą wszyscy. Tylko Sobczaków zablokuj.
Oh, all right, let everyone see. Just block the Sobczaks.
