Lesson focus

Wherever your destination may be, manners are necessary! In this respect, Poland is no different. So in our very first lesson, we'll be teaching you a simple phrase that is bound to come in handy throughout your trip in Poland. I can't stress this enough: a little bit of the language can go such a long way!
In Polish, "Thank you" is Dziękuję.
Dziękuję.
Let’s break it down by syllable: Dziękuję.
Now let's hear it one more time: Dziękuję.
You can emphasize Dziękuję by adding bardzo, which means "very much."
bardzo
You could say Dziękuję bardzo, which would be the equivalent of "Thank you very much".
Dziękuję bardzo
Dziękuję bardzo
Let’s break it down by syllable: Dziękuję bardzo
Now let's hear it once again: Dziękuję bardzo
Another useful phrase would be Dziękuję za wszystko, which means "Thank you for everything."
Dziękuję za wszystko
The component za means "for."
Let’s say it one more time: za
Wszystko means "everything."
Let’s break it down by syllable: Wszystko
And, wszystko
So the whole phrase is Dziękuję za wszystko.
Now let's hear it once again: Dziękuję za wszystko.
Especially nowadays, a very popular phrase among friends expressing gratitude is Dzięki, which means "Thanks."
Dzięki
Let’s break it down: Dzięki
Now let's hear it once again: Dzięki
Please remember we can only use Dzięki among friends in an informal setting.

Outro

Okay, to close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so powodzenia, which means “good luck” in Polish.
"Thank you." - Dziękuję.
Dziękuję.
Dziękuję.
"Thank you very much. / Thanks a lot." - Dziękuję bardzo.
Dziękuję bardzo.
Dziękuję bardzo.
"Thank you for everything." - Dziękuję za wszystko.
Dziękuję za wszystko.
Dziękuję za wszystko.
"Thanks. (informal)" - Dzięki.
Dzięki.
Dzięki.
