If I learn Polish how easily could I learn Russian

Or any Slavic Languages really.
I'm interested in learning Polish specifically because I think the language sounds interesting and I have a few fairly good Polish friends I used to game with. But if I learned Polish would Russian come easily?

I have the same question the other way around.
I am starting to learn Russian atm and would like to speak Polish too, but I don't know if it is realistic.

I'm russian and it was quite easy to learn polish back in the day (we had Polish classes in the mid-school, like 12 years ago). I guess it should work vice versa too.

It's easy

Slavic languages are all quite similar (except Bulgarian/Macdeonian grammar is quite different I think...)

dwa piwa albo wódka pls
kurwa suka jebana bladź
and you're good

I know Kurwa and Suka you ass, but not the rest. I just know that they're similar and fairly intelligible from Linguistics

>we had Polish classes in the mid-school
For literally what purpose
>I guess it should work vice versa too
It is, Russian is relatively easy when you get hang of the alphabet

yes, it's easy

Well I guess I'll start learning with Duolingo for basic Vocab and Grammar. How regular are the conjugations for different cases? I know there are like 8 but are they consistent?

>For literally what purpose
Just one day the volunteer teacher from Poland came to our school in the mid of Siberia and told to the administration that she would like to take a class if someone is interested.
This was not a mandatory class.
The Polish consulate in Irkutsk paid for her rent, and the school paid the salary.

Nouns and adjectives are probably going to be easier than verbs and numerals. You should try learning the cases one by one to get a feel for them, instead of remembering the entire declension table. People will understand you even if you mix the forms up a bit.

Polish grammar is more difficult than Russian grammar.

If you manage to learn Polish, Russian will be childsplay once you learn the alphabet (which isn't hard to learn).

Is it bad that I'm now able to correctly guess what flag made a thread before looking at it?

>how easily could I learn Russian
Russian and Polish have 2 different alphabets, but I guess that learning a slavic language might give you certain facility to learn another one, just like learning spanish will make easy learning italian or portuguese

to learn*

The Russian Cyrillic alphabet is not hard to learn. It actually makes reading Slavic languages a lot easier.

Slavic languages are harder to read in Latin letters in my opinion.

>Slavic languages are harder to read in Latin letters in my opinion.
you need to understand that similar letters in other languages aren't pronounced in the same way as in your language

Ja wiem i polskie kobiety sa kurwy ktore lubia wielkie czarne sisiaki.

bretty good, almost correct, keep it up

>Slavic languages are harder to read in Latin letters in my opinion.

I can read in my language twice as fast as I do English, and I've known English for a long time. If my language had an alphabet that was ill suited to it then this surely would not be the case.

Guys. Alphabet is trivial.

Yeah, Russian uses Cyrillic... but you can literally learn the alphabet in a single week if you are really busy.

Yeah, Polish uses some "weird" digraphs... but ditto as above, one week and you're good to go.

For people comparing Slavic languages with Romance: actually Slavic languages are 400 years closer among themselves (Late Common Slavic was up to 1100) than Romance (Latin's last straw was 700 or so). For Polish x Russian, it's even nearer, since probably the West vs. East split was later than the (W+E) vs. South split.
