Day 87: News Close to Home
At home in Kutno one evening, Pola (A), who has to present a news story in class tomorrow, shows her mother (B) an article she has found online.
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.

Jasne, pokaż. Piszą pewnie o waszym nowym boisku?
Sure, show me. I suppose it's about your new sports pitch?

Nie, posłuchaj: „Brak miejsc pod szkołą. Rodzice parkują tam, gdzie nie wolno”.
No, listen: "No spaces outside the school. Parents park where they're not allowed to."

Daj zobaczyć. O nie, nie bierz tego artykułu, na zdjęciu jest nasz samochód!
Let me see. Oh no, don't use that article, our car's in the photo!

Dobra. Ale jak jeszcze raz staniesz na chodniku, to biorę ten artykuł.
Fine. But if you park on the pavement one more time, I'm using that article.
