Learn Polish in Poland or online https://www.learn-polish.pl/ 

In this episode, we learn Polish through real conversation, not textbook language.

We focus on two very common and useful words:

  • grać – to play

  • podobno – apparently / people say

    You’ll hear simple, everyday Polish used to talk about:

    • music and instruments (grać na gitarze, grać na pianinie)

    • sports and games (grać w piłkę, grać w szachy)

    • weekend plans (Co robisz w niedzielę?)

    • weather in Poland (Podobno jutro będzie minus 20)

    • and sharing information you’re not 100% sure about (Słyszałem, że podobno…)

      Examples from the episode:
      • Podobno Mike gra na gitarze.

      • Słyszałem, że podobno lubisz grać w piłkę.

      • Podobno jutro będzie bardzo zimno.

        We also explain how podobno is used in real life — when you repeat something you heard, but you’re not completely sure it’s true.

        This episode is perfect for beginners and early A2 learners who want to understand how Polish is really spoken and feel more confident in everyday situations.
