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.

Patrz, plakat „Miłości na talerzu”. To tu kręcono scenę oświadczyn nad żurkiem?
Look, a poster for Love on a Plate. Is this where they filmed the proposal scene over the żurek?

Tak, i dzięki temu filmowi w weekendy trudno tu o stolik. Ty go chyba zjechałeś na blogu?
Yes, and thanks to that film you can hardly get a table here at weekends. Didn't you slate it on your blog?

Napisałem tylko, że to banalna komedia romantyczna, w której najlepszą rolę zagrał żurek.
All I wrote was that it's a trite romcom in which the best performance came from the żurek.

Przepraszam, czy to pan jest autorem tej recenzji? Wisi u mnie w kuchni w ramce.
Excuse me, are you the one who wrote that review? I've got it framed on my kitchen wall.

Niestety tak. Wiem, że wbrew krytykom widzowie pokochali ten film, więc nie będę się bronił.
I'm afraid so. I know audiences loved the film in spite of the critics, so I won't try to defend myself.

Wszędzie pisano o gwiazdach, a o moim żurku tylko pan. Połowa gości zamawia teraz „najlepszą rolę”.
Everyone else wrote about the stars; you were the only one who wrote about my żurek. Half my customers now order "the best performance".

No proszę, zjechałeś film, a wypromowałeś zupę. Może czas zmienić branżę?
Well, well: you slated the film and made the soup famous. Maybe it's time for a change of career?

Dwa żurki na koszt firmy. W przypadku kolejnej recenzji proszę pamiętać, że pierogi też mają talent.
Two żureks on the house. When it comes to your next review, please remember that the pierogi have talent too.
