How to study this lesson 3 steps
  1. Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    Dzień dobry, szukam dużej rośliny. Pośrednik twierdzi, że w salonie brakuje zieleni.

    Hello, I'm looking for a large plant. The estate agent says the living room needs some greenery.

    A jeśli po weekendzie okaże się, że nie pasuje do wnętrza?

    And what if, after the weekend, it turns out it doesn't go with the interior?

    Czyli jestem kolejną osobą, która wpadła na ten pomysł?

    To poproszę coś, czego jeszcze nikt nie oddał.
