It's great you're learning Polish, Zosia. What materials are you using?
As to your introduction, you may also say "Ze Szwajcarii". The vowel is sometimes added to make pronunciation easier. The phenomenon is especially to be observed in southern Poland, but don't worry about it. There are few differences between Polish spoken in different regions and people tend to notice them exactly because there are so few of them.

Hello,
I'm using "Pons für Anfänger, Polnisch". I don't havy any dictionnary, so I use the Hungarian-Polish one on the Internet. I know what you mean :) I was by a family two years ago for ten days and picked up a little bit Polish (and they named me Zosia, you can guess why :)). They explained to me some differences, I remember something like to word "dog" which wasn't the same... Is that true ?
I haven't finish lesson one, so the genitive is only explained in lesson 6...
Take care !
Zosia

Hey Zosia,
congratulations on your decision to learn Polish!
I think I scoured the German language books on Polish quite thoroughly, so if you have any questions or need a review, don't hesitate to ask.
Pons has a huge part of its dictionary available online (pons.de), and Oscar Swan designed a conjugation website where you can check out the different forms of all common words: http://polish.slavic.pitt.edu/~swan/beta/

Thank you, Zosia! :)
Actually, the word "dog" appears to have no regional varieties or maybe I just don't know about them. I checked some Polish dictionaries however and found no regional variants except for few words specific to pre-war Warsaw and out of use now. Maybe they were talking about Kashubian or Silesian, I don't know.

Hi !
I'm here again, this time with an exercice from FSI, practicing the greetings.
4. Practice variants of greetings and introductions
For example :
- Dzień dobry panu, Górska jestem. Bardzo mi miło.
- Dzień dobry panu, Bardzo mi przyjemnie.
- Dzień dobry pani, ogromnie mi miło, Węgorski.
- Dzień dobry panu Mnie również.
- Dzień dobry, panie konsulu. Jan Zalewski jestem. Bardzo mi miło.
- Dzień dobry panu. Miło mi pana poznać.
- Dzień dobry, pani konsul. Ewa Kwiatkowska. Bardzo mi miło.
- Dzień dobry pani. Miło mi panią poznać.
- Dobry wieczór, panie/pani radco. Józef Radek, a to moja żona, Agata Radek.
- Dobry wieczór. Miło mi państwa poznać.
I have a few vocabulary questions. What is :
- panie
- panią
- radco
- poznać
I don't understand what form of "pan" panie and panią are. Thanks a lot for you corrections.
Zosia

Hi!
"Panie" in this sentence is the vocative case (said to a man). "Panią" is the accusative case (said to a woman).
"Radco" is vocative of "radca", which means legal adviser/advisor, counsellor. "Poznać" generally means "to get to know", here the whole phrase would be "nice to meet you" = "miło mi Pana/Panią/Państwa poznać".
