Only Ukrainians and Belorussians.
I can read it decently and understand some words, but when they talk it's like I'm hearing Chinese.
Everyone,thank you so much!! I understand. I'd like to pay a visit to slavic countries.

Nice proxy
As a Ukrainian I understand Russian and Bielorussian (even though I've never studied Bielorussian), a little bit of Slovak and Czech, a little less Polish (Though common words in Polish are easier to grasp, but phonetically Slovak and Czech are closer to Ukrainian, especially Slovak), I understand written Bulgarian and Macedonian, but not much.. Serbian and Croatian sound really familiar to both Russian and Ukrainian and I think these two are the easiest non-east-slavic languages to learn for an East-Slav (Ukr, Blr, Rus)

I would learn it, and that fairly quickly, if it weren't for the added encumbrance of having to master Cyrillic. That's why I'm choosing to learn Czech instead, that and because Czech is closer to Slovenian.
i dont understand anything beside Polish and German

Cyrillic is the easiest part m8, I know fuck all Russian but I can read Cyrillic.
>>67814146
No, they don't. And Russians don't understand other slavic languages either.
>>67814146
I can make out 15-20% of spoken Russian, and maybe 30-35% when I read a text in Russian
>>67816121
Belorussian is just weird-spoken Russian, easily understandable. Ukrainian is Polonized Russian so 60-70% of words are also understandable, and Ukrainians mostly don't speak "clean academic" Ukrainian, but spoken Ukrainian which is even easier to understand.
