    ż = zh (like in "measure")
    ó = u (like in "push")
    ł = w (like in "water")
    w = v (like in "vase")

    Your Polish-English/English-Polish dictionary does have a pronounciation guide before the pages of the vocabulary, doesn’t it? All language dictionaries have those. Better pay closer attention to that.
