#548 Everyday Polish – Can you cook? – Czy potrafisz gotować?

“Gra na telefonie” is the tiny Polish sentence you’ll hear a dozen times in this lesson. It means “playing on the phone,” and once you can say it naturally you’ll understand half of what Polish parents mumble at their kids. We slow the phrase down, speed it back up, then drop it into real-life snippets: – “Nie graj na telefonie!” (Stop playing on the phone!) – “Gram tylko pięć minut.” (I’m only playing five minutes.) Repeat-out-loud track included, so practice on your commute and surprise the next Polish speaker you meet. Fun challenge: count how many times you catch yourself gaming on your own phone before the episode ends.   🤝 Join our Learn Polish Podcast Community ✦ Website: https://www.learnpolishpodcast.com/ & https://learnpolish.podbean.com/ ✦ YouTube: / https://www.youtube.com/@learnpolish ✦ Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/learnpolishpodcast/ ✦ TikTok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@roycoughlanpodcaster   Teatro de idiomas Polish for all foreigners Hi, I’m Ania, founder of Teatro de Idiomas.

In this short, high-energy episode we flip the usual script and ask: Can you cook? Listen for the Polish question “Czy potrafisz gotować?” repeated in real-life speed, then slowed down so you can copy the accent. We toss in handy extras: “I like to cook – Lubię gotować,” “I’m learning – Uczę się,” and the magic word that gets you invited to every Polish dinner table, “Pomogę – I’ll help.” By the end you’ll be able to answer the title question with confidence (even if the only thing you can make is coffee).
