    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.

    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.
