    #577 Fat Thursday – Tłusty Czwartek
    Mar 24 2026
    Fat Thursday – Tłusty Czwartek "Tłusty Czwartek" means "Fat Thursday," and in this delicious micro-lesson you'll say it like you're queuing at the best pączek shop in Warsaw with powdered sugar on your chin. First you hear the phrase at native speed, then slowed down so you can master the tricky "ł" and the flowing "Czwartek." We drop it into three sugar-rush-ready sentences: – "Kocham pączki!" (I love donuts!) – "Dziś jest Tłusty Czwartek." (Today is Fat Thursday.) – "Zjem dziesięć pączków" (I'll eat ten donuts) Repeat-along track included—perfect while you fry, fill, or feast on your favorite pączki. Challenge: Tell us in the comments how many pączki YOU ate this last Fat Thursday—or just write "Pączki są pyszne" (Donuts are delicious) 0:00 Welcome & QR Code 0:45 "Tłusty Czwartek" - The Polish Word for Fat Thursday 1:30 Pistachio & Chocolate Fillings 2:30 Popular Polish Traditions 3:30 Pączki Layers & Baking 4:30 Sugar Rush Energy 5:30 Finding the Best Bakery 6:30 Funny Food Moments 7:30 Calendar & Holiday Timing 8:30 Recipe Ingredients 9:30 Energy & Celebration 10:30 Banana & Creative Fillings 11:30 Work vs. Donuts Dilemma 12:30 Eating Challenges 13:30 Social Media & Sharing 14:30 Your Turn to Practice 🤝 Join our Learn Polish Podcast Community ✦ Website: https://www.learnpolishpodcast.com/ & https://learnpolish.podbean.com/ ✦ YouTube: / https://www.youtube.com/@learnpolish ✦ Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/learnpolishpodcast/ ✦ TikTok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@roycoughlanpodcaster ✦ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/learnpolishpodcast/ Teatro de idiomas Polish for all foreigners Hi, I’m Ania, founder of Teatro de Idiomas.

    Wedding – Ślub "Ślub" means "wedding," and in this micro-lesson you'll say it like you're toasting the newlyweds at a Polish wesele. First you hear the word at native speed, then slowed down so you can master the tricky "ś" and the soft "lub." We drop it into three celebration-ready sentences: – "Idę na ślub." (I'm going to a wedding.) – "To będzie piękny ślub." (It's going to be a beautiful wedding.) – "Sto lat dla nowożeńców!" (One hundred years for the newlyweds) Repeat-along track included—perfect while you pick your outfit or practice your toast.

    "Muzyka" means "music," and in this micro-lesson you'll say it like you're front row at a Warsaw concert.

(I love music.) – "To moja playlista." (This is my playlist.) – "Gram na gitarze." (I play guitar.) Repeat-along track included—perfect while you queue Spotify or tune your instrument.
