Polish dictionary that included English pronunciation

I'm looking for a polish dictionary that included English pronunciation that is easy for English speakers to use to pronounce polish words. I have this small polish phrase book and it works like this:

Bacon - bo-chek - boczek
Butter - ma-swo - masło
Coffee - ka-va - kawa

As you can see it allows English speakers to use the English alphabet to sound out polish words as close as it can. This is nice so I can make sure I pronouncing polish words correctly. Unfortunately, this book is very limited and I'm looking for a dictionary that works in the same manner, does anyone know of one that works like this?

Usually, dictionnaries give a phonetic transcriptions, is it not enough?

You can also ask us here, on PF ;) Good luck in your 'quest'.

You could just study the phrasebook and learn which letters make which sounds....? It's not like English with thousands of variables..what u see written is what u say..

You could try this one

That is perfect, I just looked at the online sample of the book and it does exactly what I want. I just ordered it. Thanks!

Glad to help :) Good luck with learning Polish.

My dream online dictionary would be a "learner's grammatical dictionary", like the Russian Dictionary Tree at russian.dmll.cornell.edu/rdt/index.htm (*)

This Russian dictionary gives for most words complete declinations or conjugations and often example sentences to show what prepositions and cases to use.

I guess there is nothing like this for Polish, is there?

(*) sorry for the link not working, it seems I am not trusted yet here (no 2 useful messages yet).


Oh, the dictionary at polish.slavic.pitt.edu does exactly this. You get declination tables for nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and conjugation tables for verbs.

The dictionary is found here: polish.slavic.pitt.edu/~swan/beta/

Try en.wiktionary.org

And 301 Polish Verbs by Janecki.

roughly ;)

there are certain rules of pronounciation

well.......yeh obviously...:) my point was that they don't change all the time like English.
