Have you ever seen any "bad words" in a Polish language textbook? 

No. Trust me, no chance for that.

Yet, so called 'bad words' are also part of the language and you don't know Polish if you don't know the word 'kurwa'. 

So in this podcast you can learn some of these words that we all need when we get very angry. And if you would like to know why women in Poland got really angry, watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmSXB7ukH4M

Wesołych Świąt!

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...

It's Autumn and the weather gives us an excellemnt excuse to complain a bit. For some Autumn weather vocabulary go to https://bloggypolish.co.uk

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.
