On his first night doing a stocktake at a supermarket in Brzesko, a student (A) asks his coworker (B), who has done it before, how the night will go.
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.

Dobry pomysł. Jeśli się pomylisz, liczysz od początku!
Good idea. If you make a mistake, you start counting again!
