Do you want the Polish translation and pronunciation ?

Also, do you want [male] shirt or [female] blouse ?

Try ivona:

http://www.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.

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

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

Djen-key

There is an important d-sound in the beginning.

I recommend www.ivona.com with the Polish voice Ewa.
