The accent on the first word is on the first syllable.
The accent on the second word pri-YAT-no is on the second syllable. Then, there's just a connecting word s.

Finally, the accent on the last word, po-zna-KHO-mi-tsa is on the third syllable.
Now, putting it all together. It sounds like this, really slowly.
o-chen pri-YAT-no s VA-mee po-zna-KHO-mi-tsa
