Language / Polish Polka Music: Question About A Common Phrase [9]

"oj dana."

the phrase is often sung by the background singers, often in response to the lead singer.

In traditional folk music/ songs...
Chorus line (formal refrain) – refrain, usually not relevant to the lyrics. It can even be a repetition of sounds with no significance, eg.:
• oj, dana, dana
• danaż moja, dana
• hop, dziś, dziś
• rym, cym, cym
• fik-mik; fiku-miku
• a-a-a; ojra, ojra; uha-ha

Language / Good book with audio in Polish? [11]

Hello Polish learners :)
I am Polish and met somebody from the States in 2009. We became a couple and seem to be very happy together spending time with each other for most of the year... We are planning to spend the rest of our days as a couple...and I am trying my best to make him move over here...or at least share our time half-half between our countries. Both our jobs would not collide with such procedure. Anyways I actually am writing on my parents behalf... They would so like to be able to carry out at least a simple conversation with him but they do not speak English...:/ and I am too lazy and impatient to try to teach him Polish myself...:/ He knows some words and mentioned lately that he would like to try to learn Polish by himself.... Hooray!!!

So... since he is coming over for Christmas I just thought it would be nice to find a good book with audio or sth to start with...:) PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE recommend something nice and reasonable!

Thank you in advance.
Regards,
B.

@ Kamila Polish and irishguy11,
Thank you very much for your response and advices... I'll check the recommended book out :)
I do try to teach him some words and as I mentioned before he knows quite a few words I've taught him up to now but I'd also like him to practise when he is away... :)

Thanks again.
B
