Lesson focus
In Polish, "Could you repeat that, please?" is Proszę powtórzyć.
The first word, proszę, means "please." We already introduced this word in lesson 3. This is followed by the word powtórzyć, which means "to repeat."
Let's look at the next expression. "Could you repeat that once again, please?" in Polish is Proszę powtórzyć jeszcze raz. This phrase consists of proszę powtórzyć, which we just introduced, and jeszcze raz, meaning "once again." Please remember you can only use this expression after you have used the first one, and you want to hear the Polish sentence yet again.
At times, even repeating the words isn't enough to understand the speaker. This is often due to how fast the person is speaking. For instances such as this, you can use the phrase "Can you speak slower, please?" In Polish, "Can you speak slower, please?" is Proszę mówić wolniej. We're sure that part of this expression sounds familiar to you. We again have proszę as "please."
Then we have mówić, meaning "to speak."
The last component of this phrase is new. Wolniej means "slower."
Cultural Insights
Quick Tip
You can use the phrase from the previous lesson Nie rozumiem, "I don't understand," with today's phrase Proszę powtórzyć, "Could you repeat that, please?" So altogether, it will be Nie rozumiem. Proszę powtórzyć.

Outro
Okay, to close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so powodzenia, which means “good luck” in Polish.
