Thanks for that, Delodephius.
Interesting concept about westerners understanding Polish more than Russian.
I still think Polish is harder (to me) because I am fluent in my mother tongue, being Macedonian but I am also fluent in Serbian and Croatian. I get a reasonably good understanding of spoken Czech and Slovak (particularly Slovak) but Polish stumps me. I must admit on a personal level that Polish is not pleasant on the ear to me as I dont like the overly busy sounding flow of the language.
Out of curiosity (with your experience), why would this be the case?
