Thanks, Piwo, that does help! I kept trying to get the "d" sound in there, and just could not do it.
Dziekuje bardzo! Prosze bardzo, nie ma za co... it's the same 3 letter cluster "dzi" as in "Dzien dobry". As a non native speaker, the "clusters" jump up and get me all the time while reading, but I"m getting better. Now, if I just understood what it was that I read so well.. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
For all your days be prepared, and meet them ever alike. When you are the anvil, bear - when you are the hammer, strike.

I would find it useful myself. I still cannot pronounce "Zdzislaw" (name of a cousin in Poland)- how would you write that phonetically? I don`t see a problem. Zdzislaw contains phrases which appear in English too. -Z- like normal Z -Dzi- like "gee" -Slaw- like "suave" Now combine all of them and try to pronounce together: Z-gee-suave. Gooooood! Well done! Very promising, although you need to work on your accent a little. As you can see, to speak Polish, it is enough that you are fluent in English. Easy! ha ha ha ha ha ha

<img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Wouldn't it be great if somebody came up with a polish site similar to this one. I have my hopes in Jaga and Nancy. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Jaga, You may use the image of "bon towarowy". It has been scanned by myself and the original is mine; I keep a copy at my www.photobucket.com/ hosting images account.

Easy! ha ha ha ha ha ha Easy, perhaps, if I had a fabulous teacher such as yourself, Jerzy, teaching me to pronounce every word! I have used the Rosetta Stone software (the voices are hynotic!). I also have a terrific Polish-English dictionary on CD, and it has audio files, but it is all how to pronounce the English words (in British fashion! <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />) Would you care to make a recording? Please speak slooooooooowly. Geen-kooo-ye.

Forza!! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Dziekuje bardzo!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The first file is perfect - I have saved it for reference. <img src="/images/graemlins/heart.gif" alt="" /> The second file - there is only a "zz" sound. ?? This is so cool <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> How do you say "Zajac" (ancestor's family name)

Forza, you've indeed demonstrated what a POLOT is! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> God, how I laughed. Perhaps inthe next lesson you could include some of Russian with 'nu zajac pagadi'. Trzymaj sie bracie!

Well, I laughed too, but I am not sure for the same reasons as Adam. Is there a play on the word "zajac" here (I know it mean hare- "another word for rabbit")
I think Forza's voice sounds more confident with each recording. I think he should re-record the smalec song, with several verses, so Chris can have a rousing chorus at her party.
