@mak8786,
OK, since this is for a tattoo, please have someone else review it.
I'm not a professional Latin scholar, just a guy who does this for fun.

@mak8786,
Looks right to me.

But I'm in the same boat as George -- not a pro, just somewhat familiar with the lingo.

@Merry Andrew,
Hey Andrew, do you speak Polish?

The Widget Factory is sending me over there and I don't know a word. I've
got to make a transition from the Warsaw airport to a train to Lodz, and I'm a
wee bit nervous.

@George,
Sadly, George, my knowledge of Polish is limited to less than half a dozen words. Just keep saying "dob-zheh" while nodding head up and down (it means, basically, "good") and it'll prob'ly fool everyone.

Apropos of Polish, it is the most exasperatingly difficult language to learn how to read and pronounce correctly. Whenever it was that the Poles decided to go with the Roman alphabet rather than the Cyrilic which is favoredf by most Slavic languages, they apparently also regularized spelling in what was intended to be, in some sense, phonetic. It is a nightmare for a non-Pole. Just one example: the Polish equivalent of my given name -- Andrew -- is Andrzej. Guess how that's pronounced. Ahn-jay is about the closest Anglo phonetic I can come up with.

@Merry Andrew,
Maybe I'll try posting this as its own thread.
We must have some Polish speakers here who'd be willing to help.

@George,
So here's what I'd like to know how to say:

Do you speak English?

I am sorry, I do not speak Polish.

Where is the train to Lodz?

Is this the train to Lodz?

----------------------------------

Are the following correct?

Hello -- Dzień dobry
Yes -- Tak
No -- Nie
Thank you -- Dziękuję

@George,
Do you speak English?

Czy ty movicz po Angielsku

I am sorry, I do not speak Polish.

Ja nie muvie po polsku

Where is the train to Lodz?

Gdzie jest pociag do Lodz?

Is this the train to Lodz?

Czy to jest pociagdo do Lodz?

The spelling might be a little off cause of the different charaters.
And yea those are right.
