Merged:A Compendium o Polish alphabet and pronunciation

Hi all,

I made a compendium of the polish alphabet (borrowed pieces of information here and there), and I was wondering if I got it right. Can anyone skim through it and comment on it please? (and anyone please feel free to use it for your own benefit of course).

g = hard g as in game
i = ee as in creep
j = y as in yes
o = o as in blog
s = s as in silk
u = oo as in moose
w = v as in vowel
y = i as in sit
ą = nasal o as in own
ć = soft ch as in cheap
ę = nasal e as in en
ł = w as in way
ń = soft n as in onion
ó = oo as in moose
ś = soft sh as in she
ź = soft zh asin azure
ż = hard zh as in zhivago
au = ow as in oh no!
ch = h as in h
ci = chea as in cheap
cz = ch as in chip
dź = g as in gene
dzi = ge as in geronimo
dż = j as in john
eu = ehw as in ..ehm.. ehw?
rz = hard zh as in zhivago

Kind regards,
