Noc Kupały - is it a Polish version of Valentine's Day? In the picture - Mazury Lake District in June. Isn't it more romantic than 14th February? Our first Bloggy Polish podcast for intermediate students is also our Valentine's podcast. We are discussing Valentine's Day and it's more Slavic version - Kupala Day. We are also talking about Valentine's cards and what you might need during Valentine's Day.

In this Bloggy Polish podcast you will learn how to say "I love you" and other things useful on Valentine's Day. It's high time we all thought about a Valentine's Day card. So if you need one in Polish, here are some prompts as for the content: 1. Simple but the best: Kocham Cię (I love you. Note that the word "Cię" which means "you" starts with a capital "C". This is how we write all yous in Polish letters and it is meant to show respect for the addressee.) 2. Oldschool: Na górze róże, na dole fiołki, a my się kochamy jak dwa aniołki. (This is a very old nursery rhyme. Probably all Poles know it and will smile with nostalgy when they see it again. The English translation of it is: Roses above, violets below, and we love each other as two little angels. Well? Isn't that sweet?) 3. Lots of kisses: Setki buziaków, tysiące całusów i tyle uścisków, ile tylko chcesz tylko dla Ciebie - ode mnie (Hundreds of kisses, thousands of kisses and as many hugs as you only want, only for you - from me. It works in Polish as we have two different words for "kisses" - "buziak" & "całus".) Hope these help a bit.
