| Betsey: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question “Do you like Polish food?” In Polish this is |
| Joanna: Czy lubisz polskie jedzenie? |
| Betsey: The first word in the question is |
| Joanna: czy |
| Betsey: which is “a question marker.” |
| Joanna: (Slow, by syllable) czy |
| Betsey: Listen again and repeat. |
| Joanna: czy |
| {Pause} |
| Betsey: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is |
| Joanna: lubisz |
| Betsey: meaning “you like.” |
| Joanna: (Slow, by syllable) lubisz |
| Betsey: Now repeat. |
| Joanna: lubisz |
| {Pause} |
| Listen to the the first 2 words of the question and repeat. |
| Joanna: czy lubisz |
| {pause} |
| And next |
| Joanna: polskie |
| Betsey: meaning “Polish.” |
| Joanna: (Slow, by syllable) polskie |
| Betsey: Now repeat. |
| Joanna: polskie |
| {Pause} |
| Listen to the the first 3 words of the question and repeat. |

| Joanna: jedzenie |

| Betsey: You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies. Master the following pattern and responses to the question “Do you like Polish food?” |
| Joanna: Tak, szczególnie uwielbiam pierogi. |
| Betsey: "Yes, I especially love pierogi..” Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Joanna: (Slow) Tak, szczególnie uwielbiam pierogi. |
| {pause} |
| To say "no", in a simple way, just say: |
| Joanna: Nie lubię. |
| Betsey: Which is like saying “I don't like it. ” in English. Let's hear it slowly. |
| Joanna: (Slowly) Nie lubię. |
| Betsey: And one more time at normal speed: |
| Joanna: Nie lubię. |
| Betsey: Now let's break down our original response from the beginning. The first word: |
| Joanna: tak |

| Joanna: (Slow, by syllable) tak |

| Joanna: uwielbiam |
| meaning “love.” |
| Joanna: (Slow, by syllable) uwielbiam |
| Betsey:Now repeat. |
| Joanna: uwielbiam |
| {Pause} |
| Betsey: And after that |
| Joanna: pierogi |
| meaning “dumplings.” |
| Joanna: (Slow, by syllable) pierogi |
| Betsey:Now repeat. |
| Joanna: pierogi |
| {Pause} |
| Betsey: Listen to the speaker say, “Yes, I especially love pierogi.”, and then repeat. |
| Joanna: Tak, szczególnie uwielbiam pierogi. |
| {pause} |
| Betsey: To expand on the pattern, replace pierogi with “clear chicken soup.” |
| Joanna: rosół |

| Joanna: (slow) rosół (regular) rosół |
| Betsey: Listen to the phrase again, this time with clear chicken soup |
| Joanna: Tak, szczególnie uwielbiam rosół. |
| Betsey: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace pierogi. Say “Yes, I especially love clear chicken soup.” |
| {pause} |
