The name must be Rząsa. Copy that name and go to ivona.com for pronunciation

Try ivona: ivona.com

Choose the voice of "Maja" enter "dzięki" in the text window and press play. Maja has the most accurate pronunciation of that word.

can sombody please tell me how to say the word shiirt

Shirt in Polish is koszula (ko-SHOO_la).

how do you pronounce dzięki?

JANE-key. (It means thanks).
The accent stress in all Polish words is on the second last syllable-shown here in capitals:
2 syllables: MIAsto, JEchać, NIGdy, TRZEba, MÓWisz

3 syllables: praCUje, wspaNIAły, saMOchod, koLEga, żyCZEnia

4 syllables: popaTRZYła, pomyśLAłem, inforMAcja, wybaCZYłem, towaRZYSTwo

5 syllables: przyzwyczaJENie, najsprawiedLIWszy

chlipala123: how do you pronounce dzięki? JANE-key. (It means thanks).

It's not exactly "Jane"...more like "Jen"

ivona.com/?tk=W7S94tvr - (better way...hear it yourself)

Djen-key

There is an important d-sound in the beginning. I recommend ivona.com with the Polish voice Ewa.

[Moved from]: "-uj" letter combination?

how do you pronounce "uj"?

Ivona will help. Write some words ending in -uj. Don't put letters uj into the box, Ivona reads letters as if spelled, one by one.

Choose Ewa @ Ivona.

How do you pronounce the name Peresziecki?

name Peresziecki?

Are you sure not Piereszecki or Pereszecki. Peresziecki sounds unusual.

It looks like a Russified version of Przesiedzki or Przesiecki.
