Well it was mostly working out my level this lesson, so we conjugated some verbs (some -ać ones) and did pronouns and some "hello, how are you"-level conversation. The tutor spoke English mostly, but more Polish towards the end as she ascertained how much I might be able to understand. It was quite basic stuff though, I'm not exactly an advanced learner I could mostly understand her and she'd repeat and/or rephrase more simply or switch to English if I said "nie rozumiem."
I don't know what my Polish vocabulary is at the moment, but it's small. I can conjugate verbs at least in theory, I've seen the past tense enough to probably recognise it, and I *think* I can do the accusative case and sometimes the instrumental. The tutor said not to worry too much about cases, but I do think I need to know them so I can move on to constructing my own sentences more accurately.
