Travelling in Polish
When you talk about travel and holidays in Polish, you need words for how you get there and where you stay. This module builds your Polish vocabulary for travel and tourism. Each Polish word is shown with its English meaning, so you can learn to recognise it.
Words for a trip
Start with four useful words. Each Polish word is shown with its English meaning.
Before and during a trip
It helps to sort travel into what you do before a trip and what you do while you are there.
Build a sentence
Put the words into a sentence rather than listing them. You can say "Lubię podróżować", which means "I like to travel". You can add an opinion with jest, so "To jest piękne miejsce" means "This is a beautiful place". Using lubię (I like) and jest (is) lets you say much more than a single word.
