I speak a slavic language, and I've been thinking about attempting it. But it's honestly annoying, bunch of same words with different meanings.

No, I have literally no reason to learn it.

I am learning Japanese though.

If you're a native Slavophone doesn't it mean you can learn Russian in like 10 minutes?

Not really. Croatian is related to it but it's not like Slovenian where you can understand half of it naturally.

>If no, why not?
I'm too poor to sustain a Russian gf, And my occasional visits with Ukraine prostitutes does not justify the effort of learning a Slavic language

Because I speak a superior Slavic language.

I did take a one-year class in high school but it's too hard to learn tbqh.

I started to, but wasn't able to find a solid explanation for the difference between ETO and ETOT, so I went back to focusing on my French.

So do Slavic languages have heavy influence from Greek?
>>
>>559620
Only the alphabet, which is trivial.

>>559620
No, except maybe the Macedonian spoken in Greece.

Maybe some of the very southern ones like Bulgarian.

I keep hearing from some slavic friends of mine here in the States that Ukrainian speakers can speak and understand Russian, but Russian speakers can't speak/understand Ukrainian. Is there any truth to that?

Or, even better:
Этo = it is
этoт = it

This will explain most uses of этo.

It probably happens like with portuguese and spaniards. The inhabitants of the bigger country with a bigger past are more arrogant and prideful of their language and put less effort in understanding a foreign language.

Educated and intelligent spaniards can understand portuguese like the portuguese understand spanish, and I'm sure the same happens with russians and ukranian.

Could use work, but you look like a functional reader of Russian. I don't speak it myself though so I can"t know for sure.

Yes. Born in ex-soviet country , don't really speak it unless it's with my parents. I like to avoid Russians , especially the ones here because they always use you.

Is there some sort of English ALT program for Russia like there is for asian countries? I like the idea of doing that, meeting a qt tartar girl, then getting cucked violently by her gopnick bf.

I'd say yes, most of Russians can't understand pure Ukrainian language. In fact, many Ukrainians speak on a mix of Russian and Ukraininan, called Surzhik. And most of Ukrainians can understand Russian just because they all watched movies on Russian, read books on Russian and so on.

A) Sort of. B) because my native language is Polish and its false friends and interfere like motherfuckers in learning it wholly. Also Slavic languages exist on a continuum, just as Northern Germanic languages. You're not learning a new language so much as unlearning the one you work in. Frustrating. Ukrainian and Slovak are obviously much cozier.

Polish and Ukrainian share 70% lexical similarity vs Russian and Ukrainian at ~62% only. The whole question of Ukrainian identity should be seen as kinda bullshitty. They were called Rusini: Ruthenians until after WW2. Also who are Ukrainians, Lemko, Boyko, Hucul, Górale, Slovaks etc if not just border Slavs?

It looks chiseled and classically Arya... I mean European Get fucked, untermensch.

No, because I am unable to learn any language at all. Started a lot, dropped all. Can't retain a single word.

It's a wonder I can speak english (although not so good). Probably there is also a lack of motivation, but overall found myself unable to learn any language.
