Nah, I've heard Americans speaking Russian and the main problem they had was their "r" sound, but even this is only a matter of practice. Slavic phonetics isn't that hard, it's grammar that makes our languages a pain in the ass for foreigners.

Czech and Slovak sound like a 5 year old girl speaking Slovene/Croatian/Serbian
Poles sound like a Croat/Slovene/Serb after a dental appointment and four new fillings

This can be applied to every word with more than 1 syllable. Russian has free stress which is never represented in writing. The more syllables a word has, the less chances you have to guess the right stress.

Plus there's also "e" which may sometimes be pronounced with a hard consonant before it in borrowings and a couple of cases like "кoнeчнo" and "лoшaдeй", but that's less relevant.

Well, you were all under Turkish influence and dž is a common sound in Turkish so you retained it, while we were under German influence, and there is no such thing as a dž in German, which is why there is also no dž in Slovene (but some toponyms do preserve the older pronounciation of meja, like Mežakla, Mežiška dolina).

Posle morning - P. M
Pered morning - P. M.

>>70843409

>>70843684
Fucking a, maybe I will actually remember for a change
>>70843740
Nah, we don't use "pered", at least not in that context?

>>70843740
"posle" makes more sense because PM starts right after 12 at noon. AM starts at midnight, it's still night, not morning.

>>70843835
>Fucking a, maybe I will actually remember for a change
My high-school teacher told me this dumb shit 15 years ago and I still use it when I have to distinguish between AM and PM.

>>70843836
I just meant to say that this mnemonic rule isn't very helpful because both posle (after) and pered (before) start with "p".

>>70844093
It works for me, it's logical to me.

>>70844093
Well it's just a running start to your memory, not an actual tie you form and get stuck with. I'm pretty sure I'll be alright. Or I can just google it like I used to.

>>70844093
Those stand for ante meridiem and post meridiem (before/after noon). IMO it's easier to remember the Latin than to fiddle with mnemonics.

>>70835637
Battle for Sevastopol / Битвa зa Ceвacтoпoль was okay

>>70844230
I kinda know it's latin, but every time I need to actually use it I always forgetting which is which.

You can also remember it using the fact that PM comes after AM (9:00 AM = 9:00, 9:00 PM = 21:00) and P comes way after A in the alphabet.

No Kurrentschrift is a German script/handwriting wich is very similar to the one in the pic, wich is Sütterlin, or Sütterlinschrift. They are not the same though.
Fraktur is a printing, or how you call it. A kind of writing wich was meant to be printed, or to be written as caligraphy, but not as a real handwriting. It is also shown in the pic under the latin letters.

You'd be surprised how many Russian expats live here, especially in Gent and Antwerpen.

My last two gfs were Russian expats. One of them worked as a translator and even she always mixed up short and long vowels (she chose long vowels as standard). She used to sms me quick questions on how to spell a certain word

>>70870279
Croatian, Serbian and Bosnian are more similar to each other, like 99.5%, than Dutch and Flemish m8, pls.

If we take them as standard, we can name every local dialect here a separate language. And we have a lot (and very different) dialects even though we're a small country.

>>70835437
It's literally the easiest thing I ever tried to say.

>>70835850
The soft consonants I think are harder for English people because they don't have a proper "j" sound. In Norway "j" is pronounced like the beginning of Я and Ю. Might be more easy for us to insert in literally every fucking sound you make. But reducing vowels isn't hard, it's just learning when to do it which would be part of grammar (or w/e) and not pronounciation.

>>70870284
You'd be surprised how many Russian expats aren't Russians at all.

Most of these words are related to words in other Slavic languages, but changed in meaning.

čas in RU - hour
čas in SK - time

nedeľa in RU - week
nedeľa in SK - Sunday

Others have synonyms, Slovak has robota too, Czech has jitro (same meaning as ráno) etc.

This is made by someone butthurt at Russia.

I mean the further removed (eg. by an ocean), and/or the lesser quality the history courses at school, the more people will consider the former Eastern Bloc as Russian or Russian-like.

Because you cannot really literally translate Slavic languages to English because of the use of cases. It has nothing to do with Russians being "Asians", other than Bulgarians no Slavs use cases. Both Sinitic and Slavic languages lack articles AFAIK, but for the very opposite reasons, Chinese has less declensions than even English.

English sounds more retarded when literally translated into Slovak.
