My Polish friend is having a really tough time right now, and I want to give him some encouragement. What’s the Polish equivalent phrase to "don’t give up", and how is it pronounced?

The thing is, I want to speak in Polish to him, and I also want to use whatever phrase they’d use in Poland -- exactly like a Polish person.

Please help!! Thanks so much. :)
rakdos11 -- very funny. I'm not stupid, you know. Also, I presume you mean "Matka".

Crystal_Cupcake -- thank you very much!

Before anyone thinks im racist im not, i was just wandering why every Polish person i have met here in the UK has a buzz cut, is built like a door and talks like a James Bond villain?

How long would it take for a young (13/14 yr old) polish person to learn Spanish..
and how about German?
