Using MS Windows how does one get the Polish character set ? Would it be possible to have an audio file with the Polish words ? I really have problems with the pronunciation of words. Thanks Anna

Really enjoy your blog and check it everyday for something new.

Using MS Windows how does one get the Polish character set ?

Would it be possible to have an audio file with the Polish words ? I really have problems with the pronunciation of words.

Thanks

Seems like no matter what country you go to, the post office is the most confusing place and only if you live there the past 10 years do you know all the rules. Przepisy, przepisy.

I sent about 38 post cards from a small town called Nowe nad Wisła, where my grandfather had been born and raised. One to each cousin and some to friends. I didn't have enough cash, so my cousin, Wojtek, talked them into taking my credit card. As it turned out, they used it to get a cash advance instead of credit. When I saw the charges on my credit card bill, I called customer service and explained that I was making a purchase and hadn't asked for a cash advance, and they got rid of the extra charges for me. When the post office person asked if I wanted the cards sent express, I said no, I was not in a hurry, and it cost a lot just to send them regular mail. She looked at me like I was nuts. Well, it took 10 weeks before most people in the US got those cards! At least they got here, though. I had given them up for lost. I was in Poland last September, 2008.
