A slow Polish-only episode about first greetings, formality, asking how someone is, and introducing yourself.
Greeting and returning the question
The first exchange
Cześć opens an informal conversation. Ask Jak się masz?; after answering, use A ty? to return the question.
Dziękuję or dzięki?
Two ways to thank someone
Both expressions mean thank you. Dziękuję is neutral and polite; dzięki is more informal and fits casual conversations.
Introduce yourself and respond
Complete the first meeting
Use Jestem before your name to introduce yourself. Ja jestem... adds a little emphasis to who is speaking. When someone says Miło mi cię poznać, answer Wzajemnie.
