  • Learn Polish While Talking About Autumn 🍂 | Easy Speaking Practice

    Learn Polish While Talking About Autumn 🍂 | Easy Speaking Practice
    Nov 3 2025
    🟠 1. Introduction – The Autumn Topic No dobra, dzisiaj rozmawiamy o jesieni... Alright, today we’re talking about autumn. The session opens with casual conversation practice about autumn (jesień) — a warm-up for students before moving to the speaking exam section. The teacher greets students (like Ania and Queen) and starts by asking basic questions: Czy lubisz jesień? — Do you like autumn? Kto lubi jesień? — Who likes autumn? Students share opinions, using simple Polish sentences such as Lubię jesień or Jesień jest fajna. The teacher encourages everyone to speak naturally, even mixing some English to make it easier for A2 learners. 🟠 2. Talking About Food and Comfort Zrobiłem fasolkę po bretońsku. Znasz? Bardzo dobre danie. I made “fasolka po bretońsku.” Do you know it? A very good dish. A natural transition happens — from weather and mood to food, a common conversational topic. Learners practice vocabulary about Polish dishes, especially fasolka po bretońsku (beans with bacon and sausage). Key phrases: Lubię fasolkę po bretońsku. — I like Breton-style beans. Z boczkiem, kiełbasą i sosem. — With bacon, sausage, and sauce. This helps learners express likes and preferences, a skill tested in oral exams. 🟠 3. The Weather and Feelings Zimno, chłodno, przyjemnie, komfortowo. Cold, chilly, pleasant, comfortable. Learners describe the weather and temperature, using adjectives to express how they feel: Jest zimno. — It’s cold. Jest przyjemnie. — It’s pleasant. Dla mnie jest chłodno, ale lubię to. — It’s chilly for me, but I like it. They discuss what kind of weather helps them work or think better, linking emotions with temperature — a typical oral exam theme about “how weather affects you.” 🟠 4. Communication Problems and Humor Komunikacja to jest duży problem. Communication is a big problem. Ania mentions a tough day at work and communication issues. The teacher humorously reacts — Ania, zwolnij ich od razu! (“Fire them immediately!”) — showing a conversational, real-life tone. The group laughs and stays in Polish conversation mode, which builds comfort for spontaneous speaking — exactly what oral exams test: reacting naturally. 🟠 5. Ghosts, Thermostats, and Everyday Life Vocabulary Kto bawił się termostatem? Może duch? Who played with the thermostat? Maybe a ghost? A funny everyday situation unfolds about someone changing the thermostat temperature at home. Learners joke about who’s guilty — dzieci? mąż? duch? — children, husband, or ghost. This part mixes domestic vocabulary (termostat, ogrzewanie, temperatura) with humor and cultural comments. It keeps students speaking freely, building fluency without pressure. 🟠 6. Beliefs, Seasons, and Colors Wierzysz w duchy? Lubię kolory jesieni. Do you believe in ghosts? I like autumn colors. The discussion moves into beliefs and preferences, touching on ghosts, good and bad spirits, and the beauty of autumn — czerwony, pomarańczowy, zielony. Students describe what they like about different seasons — a classic oral exam question: Lubię jesień, bo lubię kolory. Lubię wiosnę, bo wszystko jest zielone. 🟠 7. Pumpkin and Cooking Practice Lubię zupę dyniową z imbirem i mlekiem kokosowym. I like pumpkin soup with ginger and coconut milk. The topic shifts to cooking vocabulary and describing recipes — a strong B1 skill but practiced here at A2 level. They talk about ingredients (czosnek, cebula, przyprawy) and food preferences (lubię, nie lubię). Also, Queen mentions ekologiczna dynia (organic pumpkin) — useful modern vocabulary for oral exams about lifestyle and food. 🟠 8. Prices and Shopping Practice Co można kupić w Biedronce za 20 złotych? What can you buy in Biedronka for 20 zlotys? Students practice numbers and prices — perfect exam content. They discuss train tickets (bilet do Warszawy, do Gdańska) and shopping examples (chleb, marchewka, masło). Key grammar: Ile kosztuje...? — How much does it cost? Za 20 złotych można kupić... — For 20 zlotys you can buy... These are core oral exam patterns for Polish learners. 🟠 9. Stress, Relaxation, and Daily Routines Marchewka jest dobra na stres. A co jeszcze jest dobre na stres? Carrot is good for stress. What else is good for stress? The conversation turns psychological and personal. Students discuss how they deal with stress: Zakupy są dobre na stres. — Shopping helps with stress. Lubię jeździć pociągiem. — I like traveling by train. To mnie uspokaja. — It calms me down. The teacher mentions his father was a railway worker (kolejarz), adding a personal touch — again, strong oral practice material. 🟠 10. Cold Weather Habits and Cleaning Co robisz, gdy jest zimno? What do you do when it’s cold? Learners discuss routines and habits in winter, introducing verbs like sprzątać, gotować, pracować. Ania says cleaning helps when it’s cold; the teacher...

    Episode Title: Ile chcesz za...? | Talking Money Like a Pro in Polish 🇵🇱💰

    • Ask “How much do you want for...?” in a natural way

    • Respond with prices using real-life objects like books, bikes, and strawberries 🍓

    • Say useful phrases like “Nie mam gotówki” (“I don’t have cash”) or “To się opłaca” (“It’s worth it!”)

    • Negotiate like a native with “Możemy się jakoś dogadać?”

    • Talk about paying rent, asking for a raise, and even splitting bills in relationships

    We also talk about how emotions come into money talk – including reactions like “Chyba żartujesz!” (“You must be joking!”) and “Nie ma mowy!” (“No way!”)

    🎙️ Whether you're living in Poland, shopping at a market, or just love everyday expressions – this episode is packed with real Polish, real emotion, and real-life scenarios.

    🔜 Next week, we’ll explore family vocabulary – including the legendary teściowa (mother-in-law). Got a joke about her? Bring it to class! 😄
