Episode Details

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. Ania explains one of the most useful pieces of Polish vocabulary for anyone living or working in Poland: the L4 — the official sick note that allows you to stay home from work. A practical, conversational episode with vocabulary you will genuinely use.

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