I don't know anyone of Polish descent, so I'm hoping the brilliant folks at FR can help!
Thanks!

Thank goodness you helped him. I can never remember this, even tho' I work three blocks from Our Lady of C. in Jersey City. Well you are helpful, freepers always are. And now I don't have to call any of my co-workers on Sunday!

To be clear, with a little emphasis on that first syllable and the greatest emphasis on the third syllable.

Well, depending on if you're from east or west Poland, the proper pronunciation is either "Shasta-Cola", or "That's-An-Ow-A".
I would recommend taking a 3x5 card with the name written on it.
To: 1rudeboy
"I'd like to take this opportunity to say, Polish women are HOT."You have pictures to back up this claim???
You know the rules! ;-)

My father thought Paderewski was the greatest. I believe he attended a concert in Los Angeles when he was a student at UCLA before WWII. He spoke of him admiringly when I was a child. Thank you for the great story. I did not know this anecdote.
And yes, living near Milwaukee, the pronunciation you were given by AntiGuv is what I hear around town, although I couldn't have figured it out phonetically like he did.
To: ILBBACH
I am giving a speech tomorrow and need to know how to pronounce "Czestochowa" It's pronounced "Throat-Warbler-Mangrove".
