Starting/Continuing a conversation in Polish

asked by

I don't know if I asked this before, but how do I start or continue a conversation in Polish with my family in Poland for example? I know greetings, farewells, how to give a basic intro about myself, how to ask how are you (also know a few replies), and how to ask what are you doing (don't really know many replies to this), and this usually how all of my conversations attempts in Polish go by text. I want to talk to my relatives one day in Polish either by text, video call, or face-to-face but I think it might be a while before that happens.

Hi Celina,

thanks for interesting question. I will give you a few useful sentences that can help you but I think you are on a level when it makes sense to have some online converstation lessons.

You can check apps like Tandem and because many people from Poland want to learn English you will find quickly find speaking partners.

But, as mentioned, here are a few ideas for informal Polish small talk.
