In this episode, we're diving headfirst into bzdury — that wonderful Polish word for nonsense, silly talk, or things that just aren’t true. I’ll be saying a lot of bzdury today. Why? Because it’s fun. And because you can actually learn Polish this way!

I start with the sentence: Japoński jest łatwy – “Japanese is easy.” Is that prawda (true) or fałsz (false)? Well... I think that’s bzdura — nonsense. Japanese isn’t easy. Japoński jest trudny. Polish is easy! (Or is that bzdura too?)

Throughout the episode, I play with phrases like Lecę do Japonii – “I’m flying to Japan.” Am I really? Or is that just another silly statement? Listen and find out.

You’ll hear questions like:

Czy to prawda, czy to bzdura? – “Is it true, or is it nonsense?”

And statements like:

Nie mówię po japońsku – “I don’t speak Japanese.”

Opowiadam bzdury – “I’m talking nonsense.”

Zajmuję się bzdurami – “I’m busy with unimportant things.”

We also talk about how people sometimes say bzdury when they’re tired, stressed, or joking — and how even innocent things like “Piwo jest zdrowe” (“Beer is healthy”) might be... well... total bzdura.

You don’t need to be serious all the time to learn Polish. You can play with words, ask questions, and have fun with false statements — all while practicing useful vocabulary and phrases.

So, join us, have a laugh, and ask yourself: Czy to jest prawda, czy to bzdura?
