Very cool. If I was going to spell it from the way you say it your first
name would be something like Grregosh. Americans find it difficult to
roll the r's, so if we say it is will come out like Gregosh. Actually
the only thing different about your last name is that the o's are not
pronounced the way I would expect. I would have guessed it would be
Kaw-sa-cowski. Intead it is more like Kaw-sa-kawski.
LOL
This is great fun! I have a Polish coworker, her first name is Agnieszka
and even after 4 years I'm still not able to pronounce it correctly and
I AM capable of hearing the difference between her pronunciation and
mine. Fortunately she settles for Agnes. ;-)
Bye, Helma
