Jeste¶ - Je ste ¶

Je - Yeah
ste - stay
¶ - dont really know that, but if you say "S" like in "snake" every pole will know what you mean

moim - mo im

mo - more
im - immortal

szczę¶ciem - sz cz ę ¶ ci em

sz - shit
cz - watch
ę - first part of this letter will be sand and the second is boot, it wont sound very accurate, but i can find a better example.
¶ - i really dont know
ci - the same, can find a good example
em - I am

Let's bear it in mind that the questioner lives in England and is probably English, speaking with some Englishy sort of accent.

moim - say 'mime' like you're from Bristol.

ę - you'll get away with the sort of sound you get in 'cairn'.
¶ - insurance salesman (well, why not?)
ci - ciabatta
em - them

Why not? Well of course you know the "¶" does not sound anything like the "s" in insurance, and i know that. But the person that asked how to pronounce it doesn't know it.

I wouldn't say it doesn't sound anything like it. It's just that it's not right.
If someone has to ask an internet forum how to pronounce stuff like that, you have to give them something they can pronounce that will be understandable.
It is neither of the things we have suggested. Shall we describe exactly how ¶ is pronounced without resorting to 'well, it sounds a bit like...'?
