Native English

How Are You? - Part 2

Hej, z tej strony Anka, a to jest kolejny odcinek podcastu Polish is fun.  W tym odcinku posłuchacie o wszystkich moich przeprowadzkach oraz powtórzycie słownictwo związane z mieszkaniem.

Nie pamiętam ile razy się przeprowadzałam, ale na pewno więcej niż 10. Najpierw mieszkałam w przytulnym mieszkaniu razem z moimi rodzicami i bratem. To mieszkanie było bardzo ciasne,  miało tylko  56 m2 i znajdowało się  na drugim piętrze w dziesięciopiętrowym, komunistycznym budynku. Mieszkanie miało  trzy pokoje, kuchnię, łazienkę i mały balkon.....


Miłej nauki! I tak jak zawsze, jeśli chcielibyście tekst i ćwiczenia proszę napiszcie do mnie. 
Do usłyszenia!

Slownictwo:
wieżowiec - wysoki blok mieszkalny
piwnica - małe pomieszczenie na dole, gdzie trzyma się rowery i inne rzeczy, których nie potrzebujemy na co dzień.

wziąć kredyt - take a loan

bezpieczny - safe
