| Introduction |
| Eric: Welcome to 3-Minute Polish Season 1, Lesson 20 - Talking about Your Likes. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to ask and affirmatively answer a question about what you like in Polish. |
| Body |
| Eric: Here's the informal way to ask 'Do you like chocolate?' in Polish. |
| Marzena: [Normal] Lubisz czekoladę? |
| Eric: First is a word meaning 'you like' |
| Marzena: [Normal] lubisz [Slow] lubisz |
| Eric: Last is the word meaning 'chocolate' |
| Marzena: [Normal] czekoladę [Slow] czekoladę |

| Marzena: [Slow] Lubisz czekoladę? [Normal] Lubisz czekoladę? |
| Eric: Now, imagine you're speaking to a stranger. Here's the formal way to ask a woman, 'Do you like sweets?’ |
| Marzena: [Normal] Lubi pani słodycze? |
| Eric: First is a word meaning 'she likes' |
| Marzena: [Normal] lubi [Slow] lubi |
| Eric: Next is the word meaning 'ma'am, you' |
| Marzena: [Normal] pani [Slow] pani |
| Eric: Last is the word meaning 'sweets' |
| Marzena: [Normal] słodycze [Slow] słodycze |
| Eric: Note again the rising intonation. Listen again to the formal question meaning 'Do you like sweets?’ when asked to a woman. |

| Eric: Here's a response meaning, 'Yes, I love it!' |
| Marzena: [Normal] Tak, uwielbiam! |

| Marzena: [Normal] uwielbiam [Slow] uwielbiam |
| Eric: Listen again to the response, 'Yes, I love it!' |
| Marzena: [Slow] Tak, uwielbiam! [Normal] Tak, uwielbiam! |
| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Marzena: If you don't know how to start a conversation in Poland, just try asking about someone's likes. To express your likes, you would usually use lubię, meaning "I like." We rarely say Kocham, which is "I love," but if you need something stronger, you can say uwielbiam, which means "I love/really like/adore." |
