In this episode, we dive into the Polish vocabulary associated with the English word ‘Against’. You will learn how to use 'przeciw’ and ‘wbrew’, the two Polish words that equate to 'against'. Understanding their distinctive nuances will help you compose sentences more confidently in Polish. The conversation in the podcast serves as examples on how to use these Polish terms in real, everyday conversations, such as discussions about purchasing a new car or disagreeing with someone's opinion.
