Learn Polish

Roy and Ania open with a classic Polish quote about loving what you do, then dig into an honest conversation about work: the jobs you hate, the jobs you love, and what it takes to make the switch. Roy talks about his 22 businesses, his first job cleaning glasses in a pub at 17, and why a clear mind matters more than a big salary. They also explore how toxic work environments affect home life, and why separating work from family time is something most people struggle with.

A practical, conversational episode that builds vocabulary around careers, job satisfaction, and everyday working life in Polish.

Roy and Ania tackle the topic of illness — perfect timing as autumn arrives and the temperature drops. They cover vocabulary for common cold and flu symptoms, discuss natural remedies versus going to the doctor, and Roy shares his preference for home cures over the surgery.

A practical, conversational episode with vocabulary you will genuinely use.

Ideal for intermediate Polish learners looking to build everyday health and lifestyle vocabulary.
