My nose is runny. - moj nos jest cieknacy

- What did you see first?
What do you mean?
- What did you say first?

To be honest - szczerze

To be honest, it happens to me very often. <<< szczerze, to mi sie to zdarza beardzo czesto
(so - very often I wake up with a runny nose)
- Are you very happy?
I like Trump, so… I am happy. But I am also afraid that he will DESTABILIZE Europe. How
do you feel about Trump?
- It doesn’t matter.
Do you mean that he is not going to change (zmienic) much?
- I think he WILL CHANGE the world, but it doesn’t matter.
So maybe you mean that for us - for SMALL PEOPLE it will not matter ?
- Yes… for people it will be the same.

Do you go to the farmer’s market? (rynek farmerski )

- I sometimes go to the farmer’s market.
Is there a farmer’s market in your city/ village ?
- There is a farmer’s market in Koszlin. It is small . There is not only a farmer's market,
they sell other things too.
When you go there, do you sell things too? (sell = sprzedawac)
- No, I don’t sell farmer's products there.
Why?
- I have a lot of products and I don’t sell THEM in small amounts. (w malych ilosciach)
What kind of farmers go to sell their goods at the farmer’s market?
- Usually farmers sell their vegetables and fruit. They are small farmers, but there are
ALSO people who are NOT FARMERS - they only sell their products there.
They make business there. THERE ARE FEWER TRUE/REAL farmers now.
little - malo rzeczy niepoliczolicznych np. maki/wody
little -> less (less - mniej)
few - malo rzeczy policzalnych np. farmerow, dzieci
few -> fewer (mniej)

That's bad…
- IT is EASIER TO SELL THEN TO PRODUCE and SELL.
(po przymiotnikach najczesniej bedzie “to” np. It is GOOD TO eat vegetables)
produce - produkowac
product - produkt
- It is very STRANGE, but I usually buy old BOOKS there.. There is a man who SELLS
books very very cheap. I pay only 5 zloty for each book. I pay 5 zloty each. It is very,
very cheap, don’t you think ? (nie sadzisz = don’t you think)
Yeah, thats cheap.
- My wife BUYS PLANTS of tomatoes, cucumbers, paprika and flowers THERE every
spring. Plants to plant. Plants to grow.
We buy strawberries in July and we buy seasonal fruit.
season -> seasonal (zrobilem przymiotnik)
slow -> slowly (tutaj zrobilem przyslowek z przymiotnika)
uwaga: nie wszystko co konczy sie na “ly” jest przyslowkiem
np. friendly/ lovely/ lonely….
- I think you learnt DIFFERENTLY than I. You had other problems when you learnt
English, don’t you think ?
I think so! (ja mysle tak)
- It's a pity, because you WOULD understand me better. (ty BYS mnie zrozumial)
- You would understand my problems with learning.
I learnt a lot of things by reading and listening.
- This is really different from me. I think practice motivates me to GO AHEAD.
Motivates me to MOVE AHEAD. My motivation is really strong. I don’t need
motivation, I need determination.

Do you guys sell tomatoes too? Or do you grow them ONLY (just) for yourselves ?
You just have to start working. (jedynie)
Ty jedynie musisz zaczac pracowac (Just do it! ) Ty jedynie pracuj.
The plane has just landed. (wlasnie, przedchwila)
Samolot wlasnie wyladowal.
- I know what this is. <<< w angielskim raczej wiesz cos ogolnie?
I have learnt what it is. <<< ja sie nauczylem - to moze byc ze tu “juz wiesz”

Do you know this bird?

 - I have seen it . <<< ja go juz widzialem
Do like batman?
- I haven’t seen it. <<< ja go nie widzialem

learn - nauczyc sie … ale np. umiejetnosci

I learnt to ride a bike when I was 5. (nie mozna “studiowac” roweru - uczyc jezdzic)
studied - studiowac/uczyc czegos bardziej ksiazkowego
I am studying maths. (na sile mozna learn maths, ale brzmi gorzej)

06.11

What are your plans for today?

- I have a plan. After class I WILL go to work. I will FERTILIZE the fields. I have a
question…. Last time you said “It has happened.”

It has happened -> to sie zdarzylo

It happens. -> to sie zdarza
It happened. -> to sie zdarzylo kiedys (w przeszlosci)

It has happened -> PRESENT PERFECT (have/has + 3 forma czasownika)..to JUZ sie stalo.
I wondered between present perfect and present simple.

You HAVE seen the movie.

She HAS seen the movie.

Do you have a class after our meeting?

- Yes. I have another (nastepna) class at 9.
I would like to meet tomorrow at 8.
- I can’t…
When can WE meet?
- How about … Friday at 8 o’clock?
Sure. I reserve all the nearby days. (jako “pobliskie, nastepne”)... so… Saturday, Sunday…
Friday until I get tired. ///(po until / if nie ma will…. raczej pasuje present simple).

These are the beginnings and I have strong determination.

/// a lot of determination?

I will come back in a minute. I would like a little break.

I am back!
When you asked me if I have done it, I …

Have you checked (sprawdzic )the ELECTION RESULTS ?

- Yes, I checked and all is good.
- No, I haven’t. Is there information about voting results (rezultaty)
- Is the voting finished?

voice - glos ale tkai jak glos jak sie mowi

vote - glos, ktory sie oddaje w wyborach jakis

It seems that Trump is the current leader.

Almost (prawie) all of America i red.

Do you think something WILL CHANGE after Trump becomes the president?
In the world of politics - there is one rule - It doesn't matter who wins, as long as we win.

Do you think that it will

I think it will be crazy.

I think it will be funny. (smiesznie)
Why do you think it will be funny?

I imagine faces OF people ON TVN if Trump wins.

As long as (tak dlulgo jak) voters are not counted, we don’t know.

I think that we know the results now.

- I remember counting votes for 4 days after finishing voting. Is it really finished?
Ja pamietem liczenie glosow przez 4 dni po zakoniczeniu glosowania.
 tu sa same rzeczowniki, nazwy czynnosci - dlateog pasuje “ing” po angielsku
swim - plywac swimming - plywanie

Here they wrote that they counted 99% of the votes.

Thank you for showing me current information from the USA, because I didn’t watch TV
because I can’t watch the faces of journalists and politicians…. although I have sympathy for
Trump.

I think Trump will PUT GERMANY IN LINE.

(ustawic w lini/ w rzedzie - tak jak w wojsku, “przywolac do porzadku”, “ustawic do pionu”)
Aren’t you afraid that Trump will make Ukraine lose the war?
- Yes,... how is it now… There aren’t many victims
I got it.
Let's come back to nicer topics - I don’t remember many words because I don’t have
ENOUGH (wystarczajaco) practice.

How can I do it?

04.11

I didn’t. When DID you get up ?

Usually I don’t have breakfast… The weather is great
/// albo mowisz weather albo mowisz “it”

/// THE WEATHER is great today
Is the weather great for you? Is the weather great in your AREA ?
- Yes! The weather is FANTASTIC.
The same AS in my place/area. THE SUN is shining.
- Do you have GOOD WIND FOR AMBER? (czy masz dobry wiatr na bursztyn)
- Do you have good wind for surfing?
No… There is no wind today. The wind was for a short time 2 nightS ago. Did you have a
lesson today?
- Yes, I start my classes at 7 everyday. People want to have a class before their work.
Do you work today?
I have work today, but it is relaxed work. Not difficult, not hard… easy…. I CAN do it but I
DON'T HAVE TO do it.

Do you have bees?
- No, I don’t have bees.
Do you let BEEKEEPERS (pszczelarz) come to your fields with their BEES?
- Bees fly to my field alone. (by themselves / on their own - lepsze te slowa)
I usually wait with spraying my field until the bees go to their own houses.
- So, you wait until evening? ( until - do)
Yes, I usually wait until evening when bees go back to their houses. They sleep and I work.
- I heard (slyszalem) that if you invite a beekeeper to your field he gives you some
honey.
Yea… sure, it is cooperation. I am scared of it because if ANYTHING bad happens with the
bees I will have problems with the beekeeper, because bees work on other fields. Some
people have no rules, some people don’t follow the rules.
The time of spraying is the main cause. If you spray DURING (podczas) the day the bees
will die.
- Do you know anyone who sprays during the day?
Yes, I am a big farmer. I spray a lot and sometimes people think that it is my work.
They think I kill bees. Oni mysla, ze to ja zabilem Pszczoly.
 They don’t see other farmers who have only 5 hectares. Oni nie zauwazaja farmera,
ktory ma tylko 5 hektarow.
// watch - ogladac

- Would you like to stay there longer?
It is a difficult (trudne) question to answer. I don’t want to go back, but maybe I will go back.
- Why don’t you want to go back there?
Because America is awful (okropna) and dangerous (niebezpieczna).
- Were you scared?
Of course I was.
