Body parts in Polish

The lesson is inspired by real events taking place in a Polish hospital.

In these short dialogues you will learn how to talk about body parts in Polish.

Also you will learn how to explain your condiiton when you visit a doctor.

Do you know how to say "stomachache" in Polish? It might be a perfect excuse.

I hope our lessons will get you started with improving your Polish. ​

You are on the playing field.

Your friend wants to play with you, but you decline because of a stomachache.

Cześć!
Hey!

Cześć!
Hey!

Idziemy grać?
We're going to play?

Nie, boli mnie brzuch.
No, my stomach is sore.
​
Szkoda.
What a shame.

Language barriers

When going in for an appointment, I always have a rough idea of what I'm going to say.

Howevere when you are in a different country this gets a little tricky. I hope those short dialouges will help you to express yourself better when visiting a doctor in Poland.

Sometimes you may get a translator. This can be very helpful.

If you fail to express yourself in Polish using a lot of hand gestures can solve the problem :) ​

You are sitting on the bench, talking with your friend about your stomachache.

Hej.
Hi.

Hej.
Hi.

Byłeś u lekarza?
Have you been at the doctors?

Tak.
Yes.

Boli brzuch?
Stomach hurts (stomach is sore)?
​
Bardzo boli.
It hurts a lot.

One way to grab someone's attention to get treated quickly at the Emergency Department is to make a big entrance.
This guy knows how to do it best.
