Introduction
Eric: Welcome to 3-Minute Polish Season 1, Lesson 25 - On the Phone. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to understand basic Polish phone vocabulary.
Body

Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Marzena: On the phone, after the person answering says Tak słucham we usually answer with Dzień dobry meaning "Good morning/good afternoon", but if it's really late it is ok to say Dobry wieczór meaning "Good evening". When you call a friend, you can say Cześć, which means "Hello" and can be also used as "bye" at the end of the conversation.

Outro

Eric: And that’s all for this lesson. Don’t forget to check out the lesson notes, and we’ll see you in another series! Bye!
