Answer 1

Do you have any more information about the city? I have a list of here of all the cities I could find beginning with "D" (to be safe) in Poland. Maybe one of these match what you're looking for? (bear in mind some of these names aren't easy on the eyes):

    * Daleszyce

    * Darłowo

    * Dąbie

    * Dąbrowa Białostocka

    * Dąbrowa Górnicza

    * Dąbrowa Tarnowska

    * Debrzno

    * Dębica

    * Dęblin

    * Dębno

    * Dobczyce

    * Dobiegniew

    * Dobra (Łobez County)

    * Dobra (Turek County)

    * Dobre Miasto

    * Dobrodzień

    * Dobrzany

    * Dobrzyń nad Wisłą

    * Dolsk

    * Drawno

    * Drawsko Pomorskie

EDIT: "sz" in Polish sounds like "sh" in English. So the word "szansa" (chance) sounds like "shansa".

"ż" (note the dot) sounds similar to the above but I can't find an English equivelent.

"dz" sounds like an English "j"

"cz" sounds like "ch"

"ł" sounds like "W"

"rz" sounds like "s" in leisure.
