In this episode, we focus on one of the most important topics for beginners in Polish: how to say “thank you” in real-life situations.

You will hear simple English explanations combined with basic Polish examples that you can use immediately. We practice everyday situations such as thanking someone for lunch, coffee, help, or a kind gesture. The episode is designed especially for A0–A1 learners and is perfect for listening slowly, repeating, and building confidence.

This podcast helps you understand not only the words, but also how Polish people actually express gratitude in daily life.

 

Main Takeaways

Dziękuję and Dzięki






To say thank you for something, use the pattern:
Dziękuję za / Dzięki za …






Common everyday examples:
Dziękuję za obiad – thank you for lunch
