Polish Made Easy: “Grać” (Play) in Music, Sports, and Games

Learn Polish Through Real Conversation: Weather, “Grać”, and Everyday Life
Learning Polish doesn’t have to start with heavy grammar or long explanations.It can start with simple words, real questions, and normal conversation — exactly like in real life.
In this lesson, we focused on a few very practical elements that beginners can use immediately:
greetings
talking about the weather
the verb grać (to play)
and two very useful words: podobno and kiedyś
Let’s break it down.
 
1. Starting a conversation in Polish
In real conversations — especially online or in group lessons — these phrases are everywhere:
Dzień dobry.Good morning.
Cześć.Hi.
Czy mnie widać?Can you see me?
Czy mnie słychać?Can you hear me?
Czy jest okej?Is it OK?
These are simple, but extremely useful.If you know these, you can already participate.
2. Small talk everyone uses: the weather
In Poland, talking about the weather is not small talk — it’s survival 😄
Jest zimno.It’s cold.
U nas jest bardzo zimno.It’s very cold where we are.
Dzisiaj będzie minus dziesięć.Today it will be minus ten.
And one key word appears all the time:
PodobnoApparently / people say
Podobno będzie minus dwadzieścia.Apparently it will be minus twenty.
You don’t need to be sure — podobno is perfect when you’re not.
3. One powerful verb: grać (to play)
With just one verb, you can talk about:
music
sports
games
hobbies
Basic forms:
Ja gram. – I play.Ty grasz. – You play.On / Ona gra. – He / She plays.
4. “Grać na” vs “Grać w” (very important)
🎸 Instruments → grać na
Gram na gitarze.I play the guitar.
Kimberly gra na pianinie.Kimberly plays the piano.
⚽ Sports & games → grać w
Gram w piłkę nożną.I play football.
Gram w szachy.I play chess.
This distinction comes back again and again in Polish — learning it early helps a lot.
5. Talking about Sunday plans (real life Polish)
This question is extremely common:
Co robisz w niedzielę?What are you doing on Sunday?
Possible simple answers:
Idę do kościoła. – I’m going to church.
Gram w kościele. – I play in church.
Potem idę do domu. – Then I go home.
Gram w szachy. – I play chess.
Nothing fancy. Just real Polish.
6. Talking about the past: kiedyś
Another very useful word:
Kiedyś = used to / long ago
Kiedyś grałem w piłkę.I used to play football.
Teraz już nie gram.Now I don’t play anymore.
This lets you talk about your life naturally, even with very basic Polish.
Key takeaways
If you remember only this, you’re doing great:
grać na → instruments
grać w → sports & games
podobno → apparently / people say
kiedyś → used to
Weather talk = everyday Polish
Simple sentences are enough to communicate

In this episode, we learn Polish through real conversation, not textbook language.
We focus on two very common and useful words:
grać – to play
podobno – apparently / people say
You’ll hear simple, everyday Polish used to talk about:
music and instruments (grać na gitarze, grać na pianinie)
sports and games (grać w piłkę, grać w szachy)
weekend plans (Co robisz w niedzielę?)
weather in Poland (Podobno jutro będzie minus 20)
and sharing information you’re not 100% sure about (Słyszałem, że podobno…)
Examples from the episode:
Podobno Mike gra na gitarze.
Słyszałem, że podobno lubisz grać w piłkę.
Podobno jutro będzie bardzo zimno.
We also explain how podobno is used in real life — when you repeat something you heard, but you’re not completely sure it’s true.
This episode is perfect for beginners and early A2 learners who want to understand how Polish is really spoken and feel more confident in everyday situations.

In this episode, we practice real Polish you actually hear in Poland — simple, practical, and repeated on purpose.
We start with very easy A1 sentences and slowly build up to longer A2-level phrases, all around one everyday topic: winter, clothes, and cold weather.

short questions and answers,
simple descriptions of weather,
basic opinions,
and a funny mini-story that shows how Polish works in real life.
Polish comes first, English follows — so you train listening first, not translating in your head.
This is the kind of Polish you need if you:
live in Poland,
plan to move to Poland,
or want to understand people instead of just textbooks.

Next week in our VIP course we’re talking about something you actually need in real life: winter clothes.
So we’ll cover the basic stuff you see every day:
gloves
a scarf
a jacket
trousers
and your backpack — because somehow you always carry half your life in it.
We’ll keep it simple, practical, and repeat it until it sticks.
What you’ll be able to say after this lesson
You’ll be able to talk about:
what you wear
what you need
what you forgot
and what you should buy
Stuff like:
“I need gloves.”
“I forgot my scarf.”
“This jacket is too thin.”
“It’s cold today, I’m wearing warm trousers.”
That’s real Polish. Not fancy. Useful.
Mini Listening Challenge (use this during the week)
Here are a few short sentences. Listen for the key words:
Dzisiaj jest zimno.Today it’s cold.
Masz rękawiczki?Do you have gloves?
Zapomniałem szalika.I forgot my scarf.
W plecaku mam czapkę.In my backpack I have a hat.
Main Takeaways
1) Listening is not optional
If you want to speak, you need input.Listening is vital. No shortcuts.
2) Repetition is the secret weapon
You don’t “learn” a word once.You hear it 20 times, then it becomes automatic you remember it.
3) Live lessons force progress
When you show up live, your brain switches on.You stop overthinking and start understanding and improve your Polish.
Vocabulary List  we will practice
Winter clothes
rękawiczki – gloves
szalik – scarf
kurtka – jacket
spodnie – trousers
plecak – backpack
czapka – hat
buty – shoes/boots
sweter – sweater
płaszcz – coat
Useful words
zimno – cold
ciepło – warm
zakładać – to put on (clothes)
nosić – to wear
potrzebować – to need
zapomnieć – to forget
