Weekend w Krakowie
A Weekend in Kraków
Ola's friends from Gdańsk come to visit: two days of streets, churches, pierogi, and tired feet — a weekend full of Polish plurals.
You will practice: Plurals everywhere (koleżanki, zabytki, kościoły, pierogi), virile vs non-virile agreement (byli/były), and past-tense narration alongside the present.
