What's the best way to learn Slavic languages without taking a class for it?

Duolingo has helped me with sounding out words, but its pretty useless past blunt memorization. But its free, so try it, maybe it will click better for you than it did for me.

On a side note, how comfy would you all describe your countries as? Every time I see a picture of Russia/Eastern europe it reminds me of my childhood in a way that is just gone from american culture today.

I know a Russian speaker that says they can understand like half the words in polish

Super comfy. Not ukraine tier poor and no beheadings or ''''''''''progressive''""""" culture. I really like going to historical places in towns.

The towns are different than we had here, but I hardly ever went to town since the school was outside town. All the rural areas tho, they hit deep.

>>Russian
native, but I didn't understand one song from a siberian singer

>>Belarussian
speech easily, songs - sometimes no

>>Ukranian
a bit worser than belaruisian

>>Polish
I study it

>>Slovak
I'm listening this right.. It sounds like a non-understanble ukrainian, but pretty good

>>Czech
Like slovak, maybe even more understanble

>>Slovene
some phrases in songs

>>Serbo-Croatian
same

>>Macedonian
same

>>Bulgarian

In speech Polish is weird Russian with anglo accent.

In songs - completly masterrace, so brutal and so sensitive at the same time. The best slav language

Even as a native Russian speakerI didn't understand half of this song (especially refrain) when I was listening it at the first several times. A Belarusian guy said the same.

In studio version the same, but the acoustic version was 100% understandble for me.

Also the singer is siberian. And maybe a pole by blood.

You can't if you are not a speaker of a slav language etc.

Only a few words in Russian, but I know the cyrillic alphabet.

You can more or less understand every other word, but it's not really nowhere near enough to hold a conversation. Best you can do is guess what that cyka blyat wants from you in Dota.
>Russian
See above
>Ukrainian
Easier than Russian, there's quite a few Polish loanwords.
>Belarussian
I've honestly no idea. I assume it'll be like Ukrainian, but I've yet to meet a Belarussian who doesn't speak Polish.
>Czech and Slovak
Pretty easy, can talk about simple things without much problem. I'm not sure though how much of it is actual language similarity and how much is just living close to the border and learning to understand each other naturally by picking up the different words when visiting..
>Balkan
Mostly vaguely familiar gibberish.

>Russian
Native
>Belarussian
Badly, but no one speaks it anyway
>Ukranian
80%

>Polish
I don't understand it at all. Maybe text can be understood by me at the level of 30%
>Slovak
Same
>Czech
Same

>Slovene
Never heard
>Serbo-Croatian
Understand it worse than Ukrainian but better than polish. I would say like 40% in audition and 50% in text
>Macedonian
Never seen
>Bulgarian
Worse than Ukrainian but better than Serbian. Would say 50% for speaking and 65% for text.

Shit. Also Eastern Europe is very different from Russia or Ukraine by mentality of people, architecture etc. They are severely europeized.

>>Russian
native
>>Belarussian
easy
>>Ukranian
easy

>>Polish
it's pretty hard to follow spoken Polish but with time to think it becomes easy, it's a rather kindred language, similar grammar
>>Slovak
written is fair game
>>Czech
a bit weird, shifted, the way they hold the meanings for the common words is almost always a bit different, has the potential to be incomprehensible because of it
>>Slovene
I think it's more understandable than Czech, but not much to say
>>Serbo-Croatian
the grammar tends to get mysterious there, but is probably easy to clear up, otherwise solid 60% as there's a lot of Balkan specific vocabulary. good language sound, my favourite, kindred in a way Polish isn't
>>Macedonian
extreme case of especially mystifying grammar + strange vocabulary
>>Bulgarian
very mystifying grammar but to a slightly lesser extent than Macedonian. Vocabulary however is very clear and crisp, good compatibility.

Polish is snake tongue 2bh. Disgusting gibberish. I can't imagine person who unironically likes it.

I only understand and speak russian and english. Other languages are worthless.

I can understand when they speak sometimes, but not you guys. Dunno why.
Sashko pls
What is it like? Russian, Mongolian or something else?

t. Cuckashenko

Neither.
It's a turkic language, so, kazakh is more like Turkish

Why would I need to know other languages? Do you have any arguments?

So that you won't be put up against the wall when the great was between East and West comes. Remember, you are Slav first, Russian second, and Belorussian...what the hell is a Belorussian anyway?

>against the wall when the great was between East and West comes
What in the name of fuck are you talking about? The only languages you need in 2016 are your native language and English. That's it.

> didn't mention mandarin chinese
Delusional idiot

Chinese speak English, you slant eyed faggot.

What's that?

Play video games in chosen Language.
