I am a Czech so Polish is relatively close to my native language(Czech language). But Polish has some sounds I can't pronounce(I don't know what to do with my lips and tongue). For example how to pronounce 'rz' or nasal 'ą'. And I can't find any good book on Polish pronunciation. So how can I learn proper Polish pronunciation? Thanks a lot for your effort to help me...

Thanks Piorun for the PDF. It is really helpful... :-D

To Ender: of course I did use Google. It is the first thing I do before asking a question. And I found out there are not much textbooks on Polish language and almost nothing helpful about polish pronunciation...

To Eurola: thanks for that video I will try to find more.

To SzwedwPolsce: it is helpful but for people who can hear differences between polish sounds. For example the difference between ś and sz. For me it is almost the same...
