I'm a beginner and I use Collins English-Polish - Polsko-Angielski Dictionary, Paperback Edition. These days, you can buy it in The Works for 3 quid. (RRP 8.99)

For online use, I recommend Translatica: translatica.pl
Can anyone recommend a decent English-Polish Polish-English dictionary?
I basically need one which includes additional information about verbs, e.g. Perf, Imperfective, etc.., and also one that includes the genitive singular of masculine nouns. Pronunciation would be great, but the above points are more important to me.
Lots of free resources here: polishforums.com/language-17/learning-links-8328/ In particular check out: polish.slavic.pitt.edu where you will find both a dictionary and a grammar book available as pdf downloads.

So many to choose! Which dictionary is the best for English to Polish translations?
It needs to be able to tell me what word to use in all the different clauses, and pronunciation would be immensely helpful aswell.
And no, I don't think I could hope of getting the $170-122 oxford 2-volume set. Only if I were Rory Gilmore.
Also, would this actually help to improve my accent/pronunciation? amazon.com/Acting-Accent-Polish-David-Stern/dp/0926862170/ref=sr_1_1?i e=UTF8&s=books&qid=1233878005&sr=8-1
IMO the best way to improve Polish accent and pronunciation (if you don't live in Poland) is to watch Polish movies (you were asking only about pronunciation so I assume that you are quite proficient in Polish and you don't need a grammar lessons).

Worth recommending to all thsoe serious about learning Polish is the one-volume "Wielki słownik ortograficzny" of Andrzej Markowski. It provides the correct spelling not only of the nominative case and infinitives but also of their inflected forms.

Hi there! Anybody else experiencing difficulties accessing the dictionary website dict.pl/ ? For the past 48 hours I can't access it, repeatedly getting the message from Google 'Oops, this link appears to be broken'.

I am working on a small bilingual parser that I intend to work on my college project that could be used to translate both the keyboard and microphone input to both text and avi forms. The 64 thousand question is: where can get the polish dictionary since I got the necessary tools to get started?
I don't think this is exactly what you are looking for but it is something similar. First a translator Translatica - translatica.pl and then a program that pronounces the word in Polish ivona.com Hope it helps.
