Is it worth learning Russian, or is it on the way out? I already know one Slavic language, but I can't read Cyrillic.
>>
>>68165086
You can learn how to read cyrillic in an afternoon, it's easy
>>
>>68165122
easy for a slavshit because we use those sounds all the time
>>
>>68165122
>>68165269
both are right
it's just 33 letters but pronouncing it correctly is a pain in the ass

>>68165086
depends on your objectives
me i want some of those many resources and pdfs in the russian web
>>
>>68165086
Which Slavic language do you speak?

Also, cyrillic is easy to learn. Learn Russian cyrillic and you can read what all the cnabs are writing
>>
>>68165086
Depends on your definition of knowing one Slavic language
>>
>>68165269
It's easy for anybody, I learned it without ever opening a book by just spending a week in Kiev and comparing the sounds you hear in the underground to the words, and filling in the gaps.

If you actually studied, it would take an afternoon. It took me an afternoon to learn the Greek alphabet about 10 years ago and I still can read Greek.

>>68165500
why the fuck would you spend a week in Kijów

I speak Polish. My mother also knows Russian because it was required learning in school or something (I don't know anything about Polish history), but she has a very low opinion of Russians.
>>
>>68165615

>My mother also knows Russian because it was required learning in school or something (I don't know anything about Polish history), but she has a very low opinion of Russians.
The older Polish guy I work with is the same. Had to learn Russian in school and now hates the language and the people.
>>
>>68165534
Because I like travelling and Ukraine is very cheap and as interesting is any other country.

>>68165922

Hmmm your version is boring.
This one is better:
>>68165574
>>
>>68165677
You met wrong Poles, most likely they were Ukrainians
>>
>>68165985
Besides NYC, New Britain (New Britski) CT has a bunch.
>>
>>68165985
There are Polish communities all over the east coast.
>>68166015
Brooklyn, but not Greenpoint. Close enough either way.
>>
>>68165500
>the sounds you hear in the underground
Do Ukrainians live in sewers?
>>
>>68166081
He's older and 100% Polish and is constantly going back to Wroclaw. Also one of his uncles was part of the Polish Free Army that went to Scotland after the war.
>>
>>68165086
For what purpose?
>>
>>68166104
I'm in Bushwick. I know some of the Poles in Brooklyn.

it forces you to pronounce the following Y sound instead of using it to soften the anteceding consonant, that's the only practical usage and it's highly limited

it's sometimes used for dank memes though
>>
>>68166494
If I wanted whores I'd visit Belgium
>>
>>68166597
Most of russian vowels are actually not vowels but combination of "y" and some actual vowel like "e" (it's read like ye) and this makes every consonant that goes after softer, so Ъ prevents this softening.
>>

>>68166723
What are Belgian whores like?
>>
>>68165615
Russian should be easy for you, but it's still a foreign language, some of their basic structures are quite different, even sentences like "I'm a student" or "I have a car".
>>
>>68167419
What does a plane do? It flies, so in Slavic languages you don't go by plane, you fly by plane. A ship swims so you swim by ship, never go by ship etc. Basically you have to ask yourself what that particular mean of transportation does and then you say that you do the same action when you travel by them.
