Duże cappucino - What do you think of this pronunciation?

The woman asks her assistent for a duże cappucino @ 0.27 minutes, as far as I can tell but she pronounces duże different than I would.

What do you think of her pronunciation?

Does she pronounce the ż like z?

This may be linked to what others had to say about pronouncing ż here having to do with voiced consonants etc., which I have yet to study and practice! :-(

You know the women in this video are not Polish?I can't understand what they are mumbling from 0.37 min, except for a few words and their accent is very not Polish.

OP should have read comments on youtube instead of posting this vid here. Those ladies just pretend to speak polish but they are not polish themselves. Mostly unintelligible to polish ears, but to answer your question: they do mispronounce duży and say duzy or dozy, instead. Kind of weird that having 500K+ poles in UK they can't hire someone who'd sound correct.

I had assumed they were Polish. It was in Polish jokes. One of them said something about him looking like Marka, the other one asked, Marka that stole a car or something like this, maybe she is Czech. I thought they were speaking Polish.

Thanks for setting me straight.

To clarify: the actresses are not polish, but someone tried to teach them the language, unsuccessfully.

No, they're both English. The blond actress is Laura Solon. They're great and I like the fact that they try to speak at least a bit Polish in their sketches :)

It sounds Russian to me. Probably Laura Solon has a Russian language consultant.

There's no way in a million years that they are Polish with that pronunciation!

Besides, they can't possibly be Polish because they didn't shout "DUZY CAPPUCCINO ZAPRASZAM!!!!" at the top of their voices when the coffee was ready, lol :)
