Skąd się wzięło imię Czerwonego Kapturka
How Red-Cap got her name
Polish
Dawno temu żyła mała dziewczynka, którą wszyscy kochali. Najbardziej kochała ją babcia: dla wnuczki była gotowa oddać wszystko. Pewnego razu podarowała jej kapturek z czerwonego aksamitu. Dziewczynce było w nim tak do twarzy, że nie chciała już nosić żadnego innego nakrycia głowy. Właśnie dlatego wszyscy zaczęli nazywać ją Czerwonym Kapturkiem.
English translation
Long ago, there lived a little girl whom everyone loved. Her grandmother loved her most of all and would have given anything for her granddaughter. One day, she gave her a hood made of red velvet. The girl looked so good in it that she never wanted to wear any other kind of head covering. That was why everyone began to call her Little Red Riding Hood.
Is Intermediate right for me?
Choose Intermediate when you can follow connected storytelling in Polish and want more of the original story’s detail and nuance. Read a passage for its overall meaning, then return to unfamiliar expressions with the English translation and audio. Compare the Beginner edition when you want a gentler read.
Frequently asked questions
Are these B1 or B2 Polish stories?
Intermediate is LingoPlasty’s most detailed story band, rather than a formal B1 or B2 classification. If you study at B1 or B2, use the sample to judge the reading challenge. The same story may be available at Beginner if you prefer more support.
Can I read and listen with English translations?
Yes. The stories combine the language you are learning with English translations and scene audio. Approved opening-scene previews can be read and played without an account; the full reader lets you choose how to display the English.
Are these stories free?
Cards marked Free can be read in full with a free account. Other full stories require membership. Any sample shown on this page is free to try without signing in.
How do I choose the right difficulty?
Try an opening scene. Choose a version whose plot you can follow without checking the translation after every sentence. Move to an easier edition when reading feels tiring, or try a more detailed edition of a story you already know.
