    Przyjaciółka. Purely because it took me so long to wrap my tongue around it.

    Nie bądz taki głupi. Taught me the imperative case.

    I tak dalej. Useful for when the brain is on strike.

    Samochód. I just really, really like the sound of this word. Almost as much as I like the sound of the english word "switch." If I had my way, we'd call them samochóds too.

    Szczęście (happiness) - it's one of the more difficult words that comes up in everyday speech, but I;m pleased with my self when I can say it.

    And then the short simple useful phrases...
    - Nie ma
    - Może być
    - Dokładnie!

    I like the tongue twisters.

    W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie

    or....

    Stół z powyłamywanymi nogami


    If someone tries the second one on you, get cheeky and just reply "Stól bez nóg" - meaning a table with no legs.
