Roy and Ania take a step into Polish history for this episode — one every Polish learner living in or visiting Poland should know. Ania explains the Warsaw Uprising of 1944: what it was, why it started, how long it lasted, and why it still matters today. Roy discovers the concept of Godzina W — the 5pm hour when sirens sound across Poland every 1st August in memory of the uprising. A short but important episode that connects the language to the history and helps explain why Poles are the way they are.
Essential listening for anyone learning Polish who wants to understand the culture behind the language.
