[Q] A kto Cię uczył polskiego do matury?
No krótko mnie uczył, tak parę razy byłem, Wiktor Erlich mnie uczył. Ale nie byłem dobrym uczniem u niego. Nauczył mnie, bo ja tylko o Słowackim wiedziałem, więc nauczył mnie trochę Mickiewicza, trochę Prusa, co trzeba napisać. A jak mnie zapytasz, jaki był temat maturalny z polskiego, to nie wiem.
[Q] Who taught you Polish for your graduation exams?
I was briefly taught... I went a few times to Wiktor Erlich. But I wasn't a good student for him. He taught me, because I only knew about Slowacki, so he taught be a bit about Mickiewicz, a bit about Prus, what I should write. But if you ask me what topic I was given for my graduation exam in Polish, then I don't know.
