Talking about school
To talk about school in Polish you need words for your subjects, for lessons and teachers, and for what you think of each subject. This module builds your Polish vocabulary for studies. Each Polish word is shown with its English meaning, so you can learn to recognise it.
Words for school
Start with four useful words. Each Polish word is shown with its English meaning.
Giving an opinion
You can say what you think of a subject with a full sentence, not just single words.
Say why you like a subject
To get a higher grade, add a reason. You can say Lubię historię, ponieważ jest ciekawa, which means I like history because it is interesting. Using lubię with a subject and jest with an opinion lets you say much more than a single word.
