In today's Polish lesson (intermediate level – more than basic, but not quite advanced), we focused on using the verb "być" (to be) in the past tense. 
Topics Covered:
Conjugation of "być" in the past tense:
ja byłem/byłam
ty byłeś/byłaś
on był, ona była
my byliśmy, wy byliście, oni byli
Examples of use in context:
Byłam w sklepie. (I was at the store.)
Byłem w restauracji. (I was at a restaurant.)
Byłam na koncercie. (I was at a concert.)
Common Polish expressions to describe experiences:
Jak było? (How was it?)
Było fajnie. (It was nice.)
Szału nie było. (It wasn’t great / Nothing special.)
Nic nadzwyczajnego. (Nothing extraordinary.)
Cultural Insight:
We also touched on the expression "szału nie było", which is a colloquial way to say something was just okay or a bit disappointing – a very natural phrase in Polish daily conversation.
Logistics:
Polish classes take place every Wednesday at 7 PM.
Additional sessions: Monday with Agnieszka (advanced level), Tuesday with Adam (basic level) at 7 PM Polish class
Students can also join in-person courses in Lębork, Poland – 1 or 2-week programs with 3 lessons per day, 5 days per week.
