Tu są błędy.
Where, please point them out.
Mistakes
“nie’ needs ma, “nie ma”
“z” is wrong case (z Markiem, not z Marka)
“daleko” and “niedaleko” need “od (daleko od…)
zaufanie doesn’t mean “explain to” means trust, zaufanie do—2nd case,
but ufac komu, czemu: 3rd
miej needs to be miec, zobacz needs to be zobaczyc
You are right and thank you for these corrections on Polish grammar.
‘you’re’ not ‘your’
“your’ is genitive an ‘you’re’ is a contraction of ‘you are’
All verbs in infinitive end in c’ (there are some exceptions, like moc). And the verb to have is miec’, not miej. Zobacz means “you look”, I suppose you’re looking for the infinitive, which would be zobaczyc’.
wsród -> wśród
dleko -> daleko
szukac’ -> szukać
slochac look -> i’m sorry, but i don’t understand it. look -> patrzeć
słuchać -> listen
duzo -> dużo
miej have ||| have/has -> mieć
I haven’t time to writing…
szukac’ listen / szukać means look for, not listen; listen means słuchać
look means patrzeć, not słuchać.
Byłoby dobrze, gdybyś poprawił te błędy.
Pozdrawiam,

Hello.
.
I’ve found some mistakes here
I’m native polish, then i can make some mistakes too, bot i think it will help you at all.
Słuchać- Listen- for example listen the music (Słuchać muzyki).
Dużo: many (maybe little dott above “z” but it is important)
W pobliżu (we don’t have word “w podbliżu” in PL)
Wyjaśnić means explain to and zaufać is trust to.
In accusitive you have 2 mistakes:
Mieć means have and zobaczyć i better for see or widzieć.
I think that’s all.
Thank you very much for finding these grammar corrections, I need to update the files.
I agree with above writings about mistakes.
I do not agree only with this what is written in comments about “w pobliżu” The word exist in Polish language and means “blisko” can be translated as “niedaleko” too.
