Ch is like the ch in the scottish word loch.

Therefore we have chtse, chtsesh, chtse, chtsemee, chtseche and chtsaw.

Good posting Micha³. I disagree only with chtsemee which should be chtseme. Chtsemee would be written chcemi in Polish were it to exist

Ch has more of the Dutch hh if u know what I mean. The second option, lough, I haven't seen but it looks like it has a weaker sound, without the hh. Bear in mind that there are 7 ways of pronouncing 'ough' so I could be wrong

ivosoftware.com - did you use this? (some people complain it's speaking a little too quick, but you can try, choose both male and then female voice)

thanks krzysztof...i had forgotten about that site. It does seem that they speak fast, but by continually repeating the word , it becomes clear:)

I would say that the Dutch sound as in goede morgen, i.e. the hard 'g' is a hard sound and is not really like the Polish sound .ch'.

Then using your sound recording equipment, get the two of them to have an argument.

Yep, "loch" is Scottish spelling, "lough" Irish spelling but both usually pronounced the same :)

I only used that word loch as an example as it is the standard text book example that every language book seems to throw in for any language.
