One of the best places you can find things like that in Poland is Empik.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">There you can get books, magazines, guides, bookmarks, newspapers (probably the best place to find newspapers in English), CDs DVDs an many more things. It does not mean that little book stores are not good. They are actually great and usually privately owned. I&#8217;m sure that owners will appreciate you stopping by. You may not be able to find everything there though. But they may have great suggestions for you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Empik is almost like Borders or Barnes and Nobles in USA.<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2011\/04\/SL270482.jpg\" aria-label=\"SL270482\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1678\"  alt=\"\" width=\"144\" height=\"144\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2011\/04\/SL270482.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Today I wanted to give you a little overview of how to ask for help in a bookstore and how to explain what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At the beginning lets learn some vocabulary:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Ksi<\/strong><strong>\u0119garnia<\/strong> &#8211; book store (ksi\u0119garnie &#8211; plural)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Ksi\u0105\u017cka<\/strong> &#8211; book (ksi\u0105\u017cki &#8211; pl)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Gazeta<\/strong> &#8211; newspaper (gazety &#8211; pl)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Magazyn<\/strong> &#8211; magazine (magazyny &#8211; pl)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Przewodnik<\/strong> &#8211; guide (przewodniki &#8211; pl)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Album<\/strong> &#8211; album (albumy &#8211; pl)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Muzyka<\/strong> &#8211; music<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Fily DVD<\/strong> &#8211; DVD movies<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>P<\/strong><strong>\u0142yty CD &#8211; <\/strong>CDs<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Ksi\u0105\u017cki biograficzne &#8211;<\/strong> biografies<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>S<\/strong><strong>\u0142owniki<\/strong> &#8211; dictionaries<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Fantastyka<\/strong> &#8211; fantasy, science fiction<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Historia<\/strong> &#8211; history<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Ksi\u0105\u017cki dla dzieci &#8211; <\/strong>children\u2019s books<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Informatyka<\/strong> &#8211; IT<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Biznes<\/strong> &#8211; buisness<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Gazety w j<\/strong><strong>\u0119zyku obcym<\/strong> &#8211; foreign newspapers<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Horrory<\/strong> &#8211; horrors<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">And now let\u2019s take a look at different questions you may want to ask while shopping at the book store:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Do you have computers I can use?\u00a0 <strong>Czy macie komputery z kt\u00f3rych mog\u0119 skorzysta\u0107?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Where is the international guides section?<strong> Gdzie jest sekcja mi\u0119dzynarodowych przewodnik\u00f3w?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the second row on the right. <strong>W drugim rz\u0119dzie po prawej stronie.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Can you help me find a map of Warsaw?<strong> Czy mo\u017cesz mi pom\u00f3c znale\u017a\u0107 map\u0119 Warszawy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Can I listen to this this CD before I buy it? <strong>Czy mog\u0119 pos\u0142ucha\u0107 tej p\u0142yty zanim j\u0105 kupi\u0119?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Do you have any of Dan Brown\u2019s books in English? <strong>Czy macie jakie\u015b ksi\u0105\u017cki Dana Browna po angielsku?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Do you have express Polish courses available? <strong>Czy macie kursy ekspresowe j\u0119zyka polskiego?<\/strong> (you can take lessons in Empik)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you think I missed something there are other questions you want me to translate for you, please let me know in comments below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Do nast<\/strong><strong>\u0119pnego razu&#8230; <\/strong>(Till next time&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While traveling you probably stop at the local book\/magazine stores.
