Serbian such a wonderful language

Serbian = Croatian = Bosnian ~ Russian

I believe Macedonian is closer to Greek.

Well my current homework is a short written exercise on my daily routine, like having breakfast, going for a walk etc.

Also is it better to Ja bich chtel or dam se when ordering? Its the former, yeah?

It's the latter actually, the best being "Dal bych si", just watch out for correct spelling

Hmm, most things which are important has already been told in this thread. Another thing about Russian- it's not that similar to Polish as most people think. My parent's generation could easely speak with the Russian, but that's coz when Poland was a commie-coountry Russian was forced to be learned in school. I never had any Russian lessons and tbh I really understand very little Russian. Some years ago I was in Moscow and it didn't really help me that I was Polish tbh

And as said before, Slovakian and Czech are the closest to Polish. Serbian is more like Russian or Bulgarian. Hungarian isn't similar to any Slavic language (or to any other language I've heard)

Nah, I'm Irish, a world of difference :cool:

Also I learned Hungarian to a OK standard, which makes any other European language look like child's play.

Thanks for all your help, as Czech and Slovak seem so similar, I think I will try and learn Slovak as I live so close to that country, I can go up some afternoon to the border and practice anything I learned.

I don't want to be fluent in the language, just be at an advanced basics if you know what I mean.

Maybe if I get my Slovak OK, I can try and learn some Croatian too.

Thanks again everyone :thup:
