How To Talk About Feelings In Polish

Feeling sad? Mad? Maybe just hungry? You shouldn’t have to suffer alone! Figuring out how to convey your feelings in Polish, or really in any language, is an important task. After all, language is about human connection, and there’s no more vital part of human connection than being to express how you’re feeling at any given moment. If you can’t do that, you’ll feel alone even in the most crowded of rooms.
