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.

Look, they've added ten per cent for service. Nobody warned us about that.

Przepraszam pana, chcielibyśmy wiedzieć, skąd ta opłata serwisowa. W menu nie ma o niej ani słowa.
Excuse me, sir, we'd like to know where this service charge comes from. There isn't a word about it on the menu.

Drobnym drukiem pod listą alergenów? Trudno to nazwać przejrzystą informacją, proszę pana.

Chwileczkę, przeczytałam tę klauzulę. Opłata dotyczy tylko grup od sześciu osób, a nas jest dwoje.
Hang on, I've read that clause. The charge only applies to groups of six or more, and there are two of us.

Rzeczywiście, kelnerka musiała pomylić stoliki. Najmocniej państwa przepraszam, zaraz przyniosę poprawiony rachunek.
You're quite right, the waitress must have mixed up the tables. My sincere apologies, I'll bring you a corrected bill straight away.

Mimo to zostawimy napiwek, bo obsługa była świetna. Tylko tym razem sami zdecydujemy, ile.
Even so, we'll leave a tip, because the service was great. Only this time we'll decide how much ourselves.
