Wow, you survived till second lesson, in which, as I promised, we'll learn some basic questions about somebody's life
First of all, we'll take a look on how to ask "How are you?" The simplest way to do it is to say "Jak się masz?", but there's also "Co (tam) u Ciebie (słychać)?" (you have to choose either "tam" or "słychać", but you can't use them in the same time, nor you can ignore both of them) And the answer is often either "W porządku" (if you're fine), or "Nie za dobrze" if you are in bad mood
The other question to learn is "How old are you?" In polish we say "Ile masz lat?", which literary means "How many years do you have?" The answer is "Mam [...] lat", e.g. "Mam 21 lat" (we take a look on polish numerals in Saturday; if number ends with 2, 3, or 4 you use "lata" instead, with exceptions for 12, 13, and 14, in this cases you use "lat" and if it's exactly 1, you use "rok")
And here comes another one, "Gdzie mieszkasz?" which is equivalent of "Where do you live?" The answer is "Mieszkam w [place in locativus]" e.g. "Mieszkam w Polsce"
And the last one is "Skąd jesteś?" ("Where are you from?") The answer is "Jestem z [place in genetivus]" e.g. "Jestem z Polski" ("I'm from Poland")
What is worth mentioning is fact that diffrent noun's forms are used in two last examples, but we'll bother with noun declination and cases much later, now you only have to remember that if you talk about the place you're living you use locativus (miejscownik), and when you talk about place you are from, you use genetivus (dopełniacz); standard form of a noun is nominativus (mianownik)

Mind blowing, I realised how awkwardly "ze" and "we" sound
>implying that all slavic languages aren't just dialects of polish I can actually understand most of czeh, slovakian and ukrainian without previous learning (though I know some russian, and it helos with ukrainian)

Nie śmiechaj, postanowiłem pociągnąć to conajmniej 4 dni Zabawne jak w poście w którym pytałem się czy robić tą serię było około 12 chętnych, ale po pierwszej lekcji wsyzstkim się chyba znudziło; also to jest ta sama lekcja co wstawiłem rano więc raczej nie powinno dziwić że nikt nie odpisze
