Tell me, how hard to learn and understand Russian and Slavic languages for western people?
>>56417373
was ez for me, but never learned many words because i never needed it for anything
>>56417373
The alphabet is hard to get used to
>>56417373
slovene friend showed me this to illustrate how hard slovenian (and i would guess also the rest of slavic languages) is

I understand every 3rd or 4th word, some are similar to our language, but in different accent. Then i yell really loud and slow on my language, wave my hands and tell the russian mom where she should go to buy her son a football, because she was looking in the supermarket and there werent any.
Then i also managed to tell her that the chinese shop is very nearby and city center where sportshops are is far away, that she has to cross the bridge and turn prav, DESNO!!! DE SNO!!! DESNO!! PRAV!!! DESNO!!! FORTECA TAM!! PREKO MOST!!! PRIMAJEШ!!? ХOPO ШO!! ЗДPABCTBУJ TE!!!

The alphabet is the easiest part of learning Russian. Language itself is pretty difficult.

>Tell me, how hard to learn and understand Russian and Slavic languages for western people?
Extremely. It's like you have no vowels, and you can't open your mouths properly to form words. Thus I find almost all slavic languages repulsive. If I had to learn one it'd probably be Russian, because at least that one is somewhat melodic, though I wouldn't go as far as to call it pleasant.
English with Russian accent is God tier though.

This. Fucking aspect pairs, conjugation irregularities, case government, verbs of motion, prefixation etc. etc. Definitely a good challenge for a westerner.
>>56421973
10/10 would balija again
Moderately difficult. Like some others said it will only take a few hours to learn cyrillic, but a lot of the grammar isn't similar to western languages. It's not as difficult as shit like polish or chinese though
>>56425059
At least chinese grammar is pretty straightforward. But you're right, thousands of symbols, alien vocabulary and a tonal aspect makes it incredibly hard to learn and master
for english speakers id put it in tier 3
tier 1:
germanic and latin languages
tier 2:
gap
tier 3:
slavic languages
tier 4:
meme stuff like finnish/hungarian, some asian languages
tier 5:
chinese japanese korean arabic
my gf is serbian and the language is really fucking hard and regarding pronunciation i cannot and will never be able to say a couple of the letters
>>56417373
I was born in the United States, and I learned Russian in 2 years while living in Ukraine. It wasn't hard, but understanding cases, gender and the like were pretty difficult.
The moving stress is the worst.
