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?

kemstewa: I'm looking for a dictionary that works in the same manner, does anyone know of one that works like this? 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..

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).

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

Leopejo: This Russian dictionary gives for most words complete declinations or conjugations Try Wikitionary. And 301 Polish Verbs by Janecki.
