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.

Przepraszam, ale tak tu pachnie chlebem. Ma pani w torbie całą piekarnię?

To pieczywo, które nie sprzedało się w piekarni. Kupiłam je taniej przez aplikację.
It's bread the bakery didn't manage to sell. I got it cheaper through an app.
