Don't run away if you don't think you can learn Polish. I will guide you by krok po kroku step by step. Also please don't let yourself become frustrated because nouns, pronouns and adjectives change their endings all the time beacuse eventually you will able to memorize everything (if you can though!)
The case of Polish cases
In English, you put words in a certain order and can tell by their position in a sentence who or what is doing what to whom. In Polish, however, the order of the words doesn't matter as much as the endings the words use. Let's me show you this example.
Adam kupił Annie dom. - Adam bought Anna a house.
Adam kupił dom Anny. - Adam bought Anna's house.
In both sentences, Adam (nominative case) is the subject and dom house plays the role of the direct object (accusative case). However, in the first sentence Anna is the recipient of the house (Annie is in the dative case of Anna and plays the role of an indirect object), while in the second sentence it is Anna's house has been bought (Anny is the genitive case). As you can see, it is the case that tells you what's what in a sentence.
Grammatical note: Przypadek case refers to the role a noun, pronoun or adjective plays in a sentence. Remember that Polish have seven przypadki cases have singular and plural, and each of them has a set of endings for each gender.
