What is the translation for "to work as a teacher" in Polish?

1. praca jako sprzedawca

2. pracować jako nauczyciel

3. być nauczycielem

4. prowadzić lekcje

The correct answer is: pracować jako nauczyciel

The translation for "to work as a teacher" in Polish is accurately represented by "pracować jako nauczyciel." This phrase directly conveys the meaning of being employed in the role of a teacher, emphasizing both the action of working ("pracować") and the specific profession ("nauczyciel"). In this context, "to work as a teacher" highlights the vocation and the nature of the work being performed, which is precisely what this option encapsulates. The other choices contain different terms or concepts: "praca jako sprzedawca" translates to "work as a salesman," "być nauczycielem" means "to be a teacher," and "prowadzić lekcje" translates to "to lead lessons," none of which convey the specific notion of working in the capacity of a teacher. Thus, "pracować jako nauczyciel" is the most accurate and contextually appropriate choice.
