    Polish to Polish: Lekcja 17 (Język Strajku Kobiet)

    December 25, 2020 /

    Have you ever seen any “bad words” in a Polish language textbook?  No. Trust me, fat chance of that. Yet, so called ‘bad words’ are also part of a language and you don’t speak Polish if you don’t know the word ‘kurwa’.  So in this podcast you will learn some of the words we all need when we get very angry. And if you would like to know why women in Poland got lately very, very angry, watch Vox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmSXB7ukH4M or listen to this Guardian podcast: https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2020/dec/03/three-women-on-their-fight-for-abortion-rights-in-poland-podcast Or listen to this amazing song at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngjWM3I6VRs&has_verified=1 And when listening to our podcast, it’s best if you look at the lyrics at…

    Polish to Begin with: Lesson 30 (Lockdown)

    December 25, 2020 /

    So what you can do when in lockdown… learn languages obviously! In this corona-chaotic podcast we try to talk about some things you can and can’t do in lockdown. And as it happens in lockdown, the plan was great – revise your verbs, practise present tense, see how ‘można’, ‘trzeba’ and ‘wolno’ verbs work – but it all ended in chaos and giggles. They say Shakespeare wrote King Lear in lockdown. I bet he didn’t have a 6 years old daughter at the time. Oh, and our special guest is… Vocabulary tips: można – you are allowed, you can, one can trzeba – you have to, one must wolno –…

    Polish to Begin with: Lesson 28 (Jesień)

    October 15, 2020 /

    If you want to talk about the weather in October, you might find these useful: prognoza pogody – weather forecast jesień – Autumn Jest zimno. – It’s cold. Pada deszcz. – It’s raining. Czasem świecie słońce. – Sometimes the sun is shining. Jest ładnie. – It’s nice. Wieje wiatr. – Wind is blowing. Now, this kind of weather is not going anywhere for a while so why don’t you try to think how to say the same things in future tense? And frankly, it was the same yesterday, wasn’t it? So think about past tense as well.

    Autumn has started so we talk a bit about the weather – a great chance to improve your complaing skills in Polish (crucial). We might loose our pessimistic approach somewhere towards the end of the episode when we read one of Tuwim’s poems. To work a little more on this lovely poem, print this exercise:

    Dziś chcielibyśmy polecić Wam zbiór baśni pod tytułem Bajarka opowiada. Bajarką jest w tym wypadku Maria Niklewiczowa, zwana też „bajarką Marianną”. W tej pełnej wdzięku książce znajdują się tradycyjne opowieści z różnych kultur, ale nie zdziwicie się pewnie, jeśli skoncentrujemy się na jednej z polskich baśni. Posłuchajcie i przeczytajcie: Ćwiczenia: Kraków Poznaj lepiej Kraków. Jakie miejsca pojawiają się w tej baśni? Wypisz je wszystkie. Zaznacz miejsca z Twojej listy na mapie Krakowa (https://goo.gl/maps/d7yhfKkyyNH8KjWAA). Znajdź miejsca z Twojej listy na wirtualnym spacerze: https://wirtualnyspacer.krakow.pl/html5/index.php?id=52619#52415/32,0 Kontrowersyjne słowa Zwróć uwagę na imiona psów.

    Polish to Begin with: Lesson 27 (Old Family Pictures)

    June 13, 2020 /

    In this podcast we are talking about some old photos and once more we discover that you should always write dates on your family pictures because no, you wil not remember where it was taken, how old the child was or even who it was (I swear, all babies in our family look the same on pictures). But back to grammar… As today we talk a lot about age, you might notice several fascinating language facts here. 1. In Polish we say: Mam 11 lat = I HAVE 11 years. (Like in French, Spanish and many other languages). 2. The noun ‘rok’ = year is especially interesting in Polish. In…
