We also explore the difference between “jadę” (going by vehicle) and “idę” (going on foot), and practice answering the question:

Along the way, we talk about how far places are using “blisko” (close) and “daleko” (far), and share examples like:

You’ll also hear some real-life stress and laughter – because yes, learning Polish is a journey, and sometimes we get a little nervous, but that’s okay!

In this episode, we're diving headfirst into bzdury — that wonderful Polish word for nonsense, silly talk, or things that just aren’t true. I’ll be saying a lot of bzdury today. Why? Because it’s fun. And because you can actually learn Polish this way!

I start with the sentence: Japoński jest łatwy – “Japanese is easy.” Is that prawda (true) or fałsz (false)? Well... I think that’s bzdura — nonsense. Japanese isn’t easy. Japoński jest trudny. Polish is easy! (Or is that bzdura too?)

Throughout the episode, I play with phrases like Lecę do Japonii – “I’m flying to Japan.” Am I really? Or is that just another silly statement? Listen and find out.

You’ll hear questions like:

We also talk about how people sometimes say bzdury when they’re tired, stressed, or joking — and how even innocent things like “Piwo jest zdrowe” (“Beer is healthy”) might be... well... total bzdura.

You don’t need to be serious all the time to learn Polish. You can play with words, ask questions, and have fun with false statements — all while practicing useful vocabulary and phrases.

So, join us, have a laugh, and ask yourself:

In today's Polish lesson (intermediate level – more than basic, but not quite advanced), we focused on using the verb "być" (to be) in the past tense. 

Conjugation of "być" in the past tense:

ja byłem/byłam

ty byłeś/byłaś

on był, ona była

my byliśmy, wy byliście, oni byli

Examples of use in context:

Byłam w sklepie. (I was at the store.)

Byłem w restauracji. (I was at a restaurant.)

Byłam na koncercie. (I was at a concert.)

Common Polish expressions to describe experiences:

Jak było? (How was it?)

Było fajnie. (It was nice.)

Szału nie było. (It wasn’t great / Nothing special.)

Nic nadzwyczajnego. (Nothing extraordinary.)

We also touched on the expression "szału nie było", which is a colloquial way to say something was just okay or a bit disappointing – a very natural phrase in Polish daily conversation.

Polish classes take place every Wednesday at 7 PM.

Additional sessions: Monday with Agnieszka (advanced level), Tuesday with Adam (basic level) at 7 PM Polish class

Students can also join in-person courses in Lębork, Poland – 1 or 2-week programs with 3 lessons per day, 5 days per week.
