I am Slovenian and I remember when i was young in 1970is we was together with Polish and Chehoslovack in Adriatic see. And we played together and we understand each other quite good.
" Chehoslovack"?
Shes pretty bad in SLovenian….She has to think to speak!
@@WatchmanofMKDNYour both wrong. Slavs TODAY, are a linguistic-cultural group. Although East and West slavs are nearly identical in their genetic makeup. Slavs did not come from Macedonia. Macedonia was simply the western most region, closest to the western power of those times. Slavs closest to the west, developed writing and a better organised state structure then did slavs who lived east. Civilisation moves from west to east, while populations move from east to west. Slavs came from a variable area that is around. Western Ukraine/Southern Belarus/Eastern Poland...
@@WatchmanofMKDNSome ethnographers think the Sarmatians were ancient slavs, as in slavs came about when Baltic peoples intermixed with the Sarmatians...Concerning the alphabet and literature, that's 100% correct..But don't use Putins words, that guy doesn't give a shit about slavs, all he cares about is restoring " Russia's greatness".He sees the breakup of the USSR as a personal defeat and his view on the world is a strange Soviet/Russian Empire hybrid bigotry and chauvinism. Ukraine is historic old Rus, and look what they are doing to it, not to mention its the homeland of the slavs...Imagine of some Slobodan like asshole were to rise in Belgrade again, and try to restore Yugoslavia. He would then invade Macedonia and force it into " a union". Im sure you wouldn't like it, considering both the Serbs and Bulgarians treat you pretty much exactly how Russian treats Ukraine. " Artificial new nation" ect...You even have the same situation with the Orthodox Church Ukraine had until a couple of months ago..You must join NATO and EU, that is the best option for Macedonia...Don't even listen to this Russian bullshit. They claim they are " surrounded by NATO", but they don't mention that until their invasion of Ukraine in 2014, there was literally a couple of thousand of NATO soldiers in each Eastern European country that borders with Russia. When Russia cries about their neighbours joining NATO, its because when they do so, Russia can not occupy that country in the future ever again...You want to know another fun fact concerning languages? Russian is Old Church Slavonic with Rus influence..Its Old Macedono-Bulgarian with Eastern Slavic grammar and lexical influence....They don't like to admit it or talk about it, but even 100 years ago, your and their language were extremely similar, still are..

Every south slav gangsta when understanding Slovene language until Slovene starts speaking in dialect
Don't speak to me in slang, please! 🤭
i am slovene and i do not understand slovenes from Ljubljana and Prekmurje. I undestand dialect from german/austrian more than slovene xD
Exactly, my wife is from Philippines, she learned good Slovene, but as we traveled around Slovenia, she often had a lot of difficulties understanding slang or other dialects.

Looks like Ukrainian might be the best language to know if you want to understand other Slavic languages :)

I understand Polish much better than Slovenian (Russian speaker).
Could you give examples of words or expressions that sounded more familiar to you?
All your questions were understandable;-) and I am confused why she did not understand your 'dla czcego ucicz nemecki i angielski?' , ' jaki powud?' . In Russian it sounds almost same . For me, the problem with the lady was the pronociation . But the vocabulary is still common . ( Russian ).
TheRovniy.. interesting observations. I am not an expert, but live in south east europe and enjoy learning slavic languages... my guess it is because she is mainly familiar with South Slavic group..So, dlaczego: I don't think south slavic languages use dla/для... they seem to use "za" is usually something like zakaj/zašto.. Simlar issue with the question "Jaki powod".. in south slavic.. "Jak(i)" has completely different meaning .. not a question word at all.. i think Slovenian may use "kateri" , which you will recognize from Russian.. and for powod/povod.. i think Slovenian uses "razlog" as do a few other south slavic languages. It is interesting to see how Russian helps with Polish... good to know
Interesting indeed! Thanks for the comment!
TheRovniy, South Slavic lannguages does not have word «dľa», they use «za» instead. If he said something like «Za što ty učiš…», it would be more understandable to South Slav.
«Jaki» in South Slavic languages means «very». His «jaki powód» sounded like «What the reason!». Not a question in this case, but exclamation. «Jako toplo» in BCMS means «very hot», for instance.

Too true I’ve been so far to: Czechia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia and Russia that definitely seems to be the case

Тот редкий случай, когда будучи русскоговорящим, не зная польского и словенского, понимаешь польский лучше, чем словенский. :) Good Video !
да, но в словенском порой проскакивали откровенно русские слова)
На словенском половина русских слов , как бабушки в деревне разговаривают , с похожим диалектом . Они ставят ударение на другую букву и по этому кажется не понятно
Я бы так не сказал. Напротив, я понимаю словенский больше чем польский. У поляков столько специфических звуков. Например: добже, во всех славянских это слово звучит и пишется как добро или добре, а вот у поляков у единственных славян отличается. Тоже самое со словом пшиехать вместо приехать!

Yes or like "Piszczek" in Polish, whereas in Serbocroatian/Slovenian it would be simply "Pišček"
Ja som Slovák a kedysi som po poľsky veľmi nerozumel, kým som nezačal chodiť do Tatier liezť - keďže väčšina štítov je na slovenskej strane, na chatách bývalo veľa poľských horolezcov. No a potom to už vyriešil dostatok vodky :D musíš si zvyknúť na výslovnosť a "prenosovú rýchlosť".

@@VoidCosmonaut As you can see, I know for the fact, that SZ is Š and CZ is Č, but I deliberately don't want to get used to it cuz it's unnecessary. If you can have one representative letter for one specific sound in a language, then it's the most logical and most simple illustration you can have of that sound. The Polish have that rule, which we Serbs have too "Read how it's written", we have "Read how it's written, write how you speak", but the Polish actually don't use that 100%. Because they don't use 1 letter = 1 sound, so if you write P-I-SZ-CZ-E-K, you use 8 letters for 6 sounds, whereas P-I-Š-Č-E-K is 100% written how you speak. I hope you understand now my point.
As Serbs have both Cyrillic and Latin Script as well, we are very aware of the different writing styles, in Cyrillic the letter Њ is being written NJ in Latin script, which exactly is the same as writing Č like CZ (2 letters for 1 sound), whereas the letter Ђ in Latin is written as Đ or DJ, so it's nothing new to us, it's just totally unnecessary.
@@afrosrb7828 It is called digraphs just like German ''sch'', there are some exceptions from the rule like in the verb '''zamarzać'' that is pronounced zamar-zać.
@@jutjubow "SCH" is called "Trigraph" not "Digraph", and I'm aware cuz I speak German. Let me guess what "zamarzać" means, "to freeze" ?😀. In Serbian it would be "zamrznuti". Anyway, you should know that, the prefix (Di-) in a word comes from Greek, which means "two", so a Dialog is a conversation between 2 people. And exactly because in these languages Digraphs, Trigraphs and Tetragraphs are being used for ONE specific sound, I said what I said. Pozdrav

I’m Russian and in this video I’ve understood almost 100% Polish and 60% Slovenian. Surprise was that there are so many ancient or old-fashion(what we have in Russian - zelo, lepo)words in Slovenian. Thanks, very interesting channel you’ve got!)))
Oh, to je zanimivo! Slovensko zelo dobro razumem. Kakšen lep jezik! Lep pozdrav iz Rusije! 🇷🇺
Здравствуйте! Kje si se naučil slovensko?
jaz pa rusko, in se tvoj jezik tudi učim
@@odysseusoutis7581 in translator
I’m speaking both languages very good and this conversation sounds quite funny to me.
I can see why she didn't understand your question about why she chose English and German. You used the word "dlaczego" and "wybrac". Dlaczego contains "dla" which is totally absent in south slavic languages and is replaced with "za". Dla mnie=za mene. And "wybrac" contains the prefix "wy-" which is also absent in South Slavic languages and is usually corresponds to "iz-". So no wonder she had hard time understanding the question as the elements "dla" and "wy-" are foreign to South Slavic languages. While both are present in Russian so a Russian speaker would have barely any troubles understanding this question.
Thanks for your clarification. :) It makes more sense now.
Maybe not completely, since slovenian has an archaic form of dla - dela. In old church slavonic it was like "деля"
Right, in Slovenia they use za-kaj and Russian also uses a similar construct, "na-koj".
Polish language seems to be much more similar to Russian rather than Slovenian.
The main similarity is in forming of words and forming a sentence.
It's interesting that Slovenian language still has words that we, Ukrainian, used 1000-800 years ago - otrok (child, дитина), zelo (very, дуже). But generally just common understanding - 30 %.
That would actually make sense because Slovene language was more or less banned (by Italians or Germans) for more than 1000 years so it didn't evolve like other Slavic languages.
damn thanks... i did not knew ukraines used otrok for kid... only now slovenes use this word anymore of czechs use it but it means slave
How interesting. They say Slovenian remained very close to the old Church Slavonic, compared to other Slavic languages. Another example, I'm almost sure it used to exist in Ukrainian, would be the word for "Thank you" which is "Hvala" in Slovenian, but in other Slavic languages is more or less something along the lines of djakuju, spasiba, etc. Oh, shouldn't forget, Serbo-Croatian also uses "Hvala". However, when we reply to that, Serbo-Croatians would say "molim" while Slovenians would say "prosim". Former meaning "I pray" and the latter "I beg".
Spasibo russian spasi bog (Like God save me) We have hvala and molim too
Well, most of these old words are used now to either give more expression to the text or to just attract some attention. And of course they are used to reproduce the speech of different centuries in translations
I am native Bulgarian speaker. I speak Russian and Serbian fluently, and I am surprised how much I was able to understand. Intelligibility between the Slavic languages is amazing. It helps if you know second Slavic language of any kind to connect the dots, when it comes to understanding between different Slavic speakers.
Having roots from eastern north macedonia, knowing serbian and learning slovenian, can confirm a secondary slavic language helps
I`m ukrainian, understood both of you guys...
I lived for short time in Poland, and then for short time in Slovenia. I was always wondering what a Polish-Slovenian interaction would be like, and now I'm satisfied :D Understood everything you both said (I'm Russian and I'm also into linguistics), subscribed to your channel and now I'm probably spending the next few hours watching more of your videos! Keep up the good work!
This was such an interesting video to watch. :) I'm Slovenian and I understood a huge chunk of what you were saying in Polish.
Niesamowite! Kraje tak dalekie, a jednak bardzo bliskie!
Až teraz znaš, 800 milionów Slowian to jest olbrzyma potega=sila
As a person studying Slavic languages-but with limited opportunities for interaction with native speakers-I find your channel to be an invaluable resource. It saves me hours of work that would have been spent making the very same language comparisons featured here. It also proceeds at a pace I can easily follow. But most of all, your proficiency with languages provides an excellent blueprint for those of us who aspire to be linguists.
I'm so glad to hear that! I do have in mind people like you while making the videos. I'm very happy you find it useful for your studies as well! 🤓Of course you can go through the comparative lists of vocabulary and read the linguistic research but it's so much more fun to see people interact in a real conversation! 🤠
Gotta say, all slavic languages are connected somehow. I’m stunned by how well I understood the Polish guy, didn’t think it’d go that well. As for Slovene, it’s where I’m from so I understood it naturally.
Us Slovenes are a very adaptive nation and whenever we go abroad we either speak the language of the country we’re in or English with an accent like hers. I’ve got a feeling we’ve gone undernoticed, so I thank you for making this video and showing people what our language sounds like.
Not gonna lie, Slovene is difficult. Not only because it has so much grammar, but it also has so many different dialects. Everybody gangsta till Slovene starts being spoken in a dialect.
Še enkrat, najlepša hvala za tale video :)
Привет вам обоим! Без особого труда понимаю ваш разговор. Особенно польскую речь. Это было моё первое знакомство со словенским языком. Обнаружил, что в нём есть слова, которые я знаю из русской истории. Например, зело, лепо.

Interesting! Being Russian language native speaker, I understand Polish very well, especially in this video, as the guy speaks slow and distinctly pronounces all words! Many words are almost identical, just with some changes in stressing or sounds (more “sh” or “zh” in Polish) ...
Slovenian pronunciation (the sounds) seems to be closer to Russian, but I didn’t really get enough to hear the girl speaking Slovenian - mostly exclamations🙂

No, she was speaking it slowly so that the other guy would understand her. The majority of Slovenes speak English, a lot of them are also completely fluent so I think that's why you thought that she was struggling

Yes, who studied ancient Polish, for example, will find it much easier to find the right contexts, or common roots. I've travelled a bit around our regions, Poland to Craotia. If you talk directly to others Slavic nations, you can find your way. Well, maybe also because I was thought Russian in school, and I was also around the world...
old polish is much closer to slovene then the current polish .. :) as far as i know the is old and middle polish which were more close to slovene

This reminded me of me, a Spanish speaker speaking with an Italian. Certain things can be understood, and other thing not so much either due to pronunciation or differing vocabulary.
Or more like people from Spain and people from Romania trying to understand each other 😃
Then it is not Spanish and Italian, we share at least 82% of vocabulary and understand each other pretty well. Would be more like Spanish and Romanian 😉
Cześć!:) Muszę przyznać, że rozumiem Darię całkiem dobrze, a lingwistą nie jestem. Czasami zdarzają się słowa nad którymi trzeba się zastanowić, ale zwykle okazuje się że główna różnica tkwiła w wymowie (słowa wypowiedziane wolniej zaraz stawały się zrozumiałe).

In my humble opinion Slovenian is much more intelligible for Poles than Bulgarian language. At least on the basic level. Would be interesting to check if (and by how much) intelligibility drops on the more advanced levels. Gonna find myself some Slovenian podcasts with English translation.
Good idea! :)

They're not similar.. Me and my friend (both from Slovenia) were hanging out with a guy from Poland, then some people appeared and we didn't want them to understand us (since then we were talking in English) so me and my friend automaticly switched to Slovenian and began talking to him (something in the sense of Let's go, we'll come back later). And he just stared at us, didn't understand a single word xD

Hey Ecolinguist, are you familiar with Interslavic/Medžuslovjansky? If you like comparing Slavic languages so much, that language would be right up your alley. We have a growing community, an entire codified grammar and an ever-expanding vocabulary based on commonalities between all living Slavic languages.
I feel like Interslavic and other languages such as these are mostly created on a Russian/Church Slavonic base. Which for most slavs is not convenient. Especially for west slavs.
@Mateusz Yes, but we dont even know what Proto-Slavic was..It is possible to anylise all 10 slav languages via software for similarities, and the lexis that majority of slav languages share should be picked...But that will for sure leave Russian/Macrdonian/Bulgarian abit in the dark...As they lost much of the common slav lexis shared by the rest..Although i presume thry would still be able to understand much of it, considering the context..ect..
Pozdravljam te iz slovenije! Dobri videi
Wow Daria, your English accent is superb

Автоманьяк TV 3,6 languages known per capita, the most in eu
Slovenian pronunciation (the rhythm etc) reminds me of my Austrian dialect :) which isn't surprising, because it is so close to each other. I found this out when I moved to another country and got some distance to the region and then heard it for the first time after years.
I love studying languages. Guys, I enjoy very much your video. I understand you very well. I started learning Japanese. My mother tong in Bulgarian. And I find that Japanese and Bulgarian are very close. Consonant and vowel, consonant and vowel.I love your video and experiment. Thanks!!!
Im Macedonian I could understand 85-90% of the entire conversation. But I noticed every time she had difficulty understanding I did too and I by no means speak Slovenian.
OMG that British accent came out of nowhere xD
I loooooove British accent!
@@bojanbojic9230 yeah, especially "the british accent" from non native english speakers is so lovely lol
@@panpizza5863yes, every time when I speak something in British, unknown people ask - are you from England? I just learned BE, and I like it.
@@bojanbojic9230 there is nothing called "british accent"! There are lot of accents around England. Scotland, Wales, Ireland... so tell me what the hell is a "british accent"? BBC accent, Theresa May accent?
I am Polish and my accent is recognized as accent from... Malta, recognized by English from East Anglia where I used to live for few years.
@@panpizza5863 Classical British, like in BBC ( nothing dialectal or regional ). In Croatia where I live, we just say British English, and people mostly hate it here. That was my intention. Word ACCENT was my mistake.
Sorry, I'm not a linguist.
I'm Polish and visiting Slovakia I've never had problems with communication in Polish. What's interesting while in the Czech Republic, people were able to understand me but I couldn't understand them.
This is so fascinating for me. I am an American from Detroit who moved to Podebrady CZ last September to study Czech. I don't know any other languages besides English and (after intense study) Czech. In this video, I was able to understand a minimum of 50-60% of the Polish words, and 90% or more of the meaning. For Slovenian, it was a little trickier, only about 25-35% of the words, and maybe 40-50% of the meaning from context. It is astounding to me how close the languages in the Slavic family truly are, maybe even more-so than the Romance languages. It has been so fun (and EXTREMELY difficult) learning Czech, and I am even more delighted by how much of the world it has opened me up to through the Slavic language family. Hoping to study more, and get a couple more Slavic languages under my belt!
Good luck with your Czech! :D
Thank you!!!
Beautiful! The door to all Slavic countries has opened for you :)
Zelo zanimiv eksperiment!
Удивительно! Браво.
Mam wrażenie że ty ją lepiej rozumiałeś niż ona Ciebie :D. Ale początek ładny, otrok było w staropolskim :D, potovanje - brzmi ze starosłowiańskiego *pǫtь, strp. pąć, a u nas to się zachowało w słowie pątnik :d. Ogólnie słoweński sporo się różni od sąsiadujących z nim języków. Ale dalej sporo idzie zrozumieć, jest podobieństwo :D, można się dogadać i domyśleć po kontekście.
Ciekawe uwagi! Hvala! ;)
Nie ma za co :).
poljaki govorite staro slovenščino. Upam da se razumemo
I am polish and I can understand very much of slovene :) Understand it much better than russian, which I don't know at all ;)
wszyscy tak mamy
I'm Ukrainian and I understood most of the Polish (about 80+%) and the Slovenian (75+%). Wow! Ukrainian is my native language.
К сожалению или нет мы не можем точно говорить есть ли в этом преимущество 100% украинского языка, ведь по умолчанию мы знаем 2 из разных языка)) Для меня было так странно, что русские вообще не понимают украинский
ха, все вопросы на польском понятны, странно что словенка их не всегда понимает
Так они, блин, для русского понятны, а она словенка.
может бухать не нужно))
I've been learning polish to quite a good basic level, at least the understanding part, and also some russian and a little yugoslavian. I've watched a lot of your videos and could already understand all of the polish and ~60% of slovenian, wich was astonashingly much for me, but maybe it was somehow linked to me being a nativs German speaker. The solvenian girl sounded a lot like a Southern German like Bavarian or Austrian dialects for me, just by the accent.
So you have been learning Yugoslavian? Which language is that??
I am from Iran, and I understand the polish friend very well. I like polish language, rozumiem bardzo, rozumiem dobrze.
Hi! I'm russian and ukranian speaker☆okay and spanish, german, french , japanese, korean.
I can understand polish. Not slovenian. I think the other languages make a bit of interference
I think we don't always need to know why we are doing something. As long as it is joyful, we can do it for no reason :)))
Jeśli rozmówca Słowianin nie zna słowa "dlaczego" /ros. dla czego/ staramy się rozdzielać ten dwu-członowy wyraz, jeśli nadal nie rozumie sięgamy do odpowiedników /synonimów/, a więc "czemu" jak'że często stosowanemu przez Polaków, gdy nadal nie rozumie sięgamy do "procz", słowa ze staropolszczyzny /czes. proč/.
Dobra rada! Może się przydać przy następnych rozmowach :) Dzięki!
Ecolinguist nie zrozumiała cię bo w językach południowosłowiańskich niema słowa "dla". Zamiast tego mówi się "za". Niema różnicy między "dla" a "za".
Języki słowiańskie nie przestają mnie zaskakiwać! :D
W rozmowach międzysłowiańskich zamiast używać słowa: "duże" lepiej używać bardziej wszechsłowiańskie słowo: "wielkie", zwłaszcza w rozmowach ze Słowianami południowymi, gdyż w serbsko-chorwackim: "duže" znaczy: "dłuższe" :)
Po słoweńsku zakaj, po chorwacku zašto :)
I'm Ukrainian, I've never had any exposure to Slovenian and I understood 90%, it seems that there is some secret connection between our languages, it sounds more similar to Ukrainian than Bulgarian, Russian, Serbo-Croation, Czech.
Anyway, I just watched a bunch of your slavic language intelligibility videos and I think I learned like 20-30 polish words now and can understand you almost perfectly.
I’m Slovenian and I’ve also noticed that are Slovenian language and Ukrainian language unusually similar. Dialects spoken in eastern part of Slovenia are even more similar to Ukrainian… Unfortunately I haven’t seen or heard any real explanation of the phenomena yet.

Because, Carpatho-Ruthenians and White Croats (~"Ukrainian, Polish, Slovacs and Czech"~ tribes at that time) moved from Bohemia, Lesser Poland & Galicia In the 7th century, migrated from their homeland White Croatia to the territory of modern-day Croatia and part of Slovenia.

@@timg.5400 Eastern Slovene and Kajkavian Croatian come from a joint language originating in White Croatia around the Carpathians, previously diverged from the ancestor of today's these languages and Ukranian/Russian, ergo the connection. The Kajkavian language was one of the two dominant languages of Slavic Hungary before the arrival of Hungarians and there's a strong connection today between Russian/Ukranian/Slovak and kajkavian/chakavian/shtokavian/Slovene. I just read Yuri's comment and it's the same thing, yep.
Pozdrav iz Slovenije tudi od mene🌺
Ja sam sve razumio i slo i pollski valjda zbog cakavskog pozdrav iz Hrvatske
Zoran Brcic Cakavski je lep jezik. Croatians should stop speaking serbian and start with kajkavski and cakavski
because cakavski is closer to slovenian and it has words used in other western slavic languages (Slovak, Polish, Czech)
Horvata + Polska = brothers 💪
@@simonk.4338 May God give you sanity, šta kenjaš tu čoveče, if you say "Croatians should stop speaking Serbian" Then you're basically saying "Croatians should stop speaking Croatian", Čajkavski iz being spoken by a minority in Croatia, about 12%, whereas the vast majority speaks either Štokavski or Kajkavski
@@afrosrb7828 Original Croatian is Chakavian (Čakavski), Kajkavian (Kajkavski) is a Slovenian dialectic group. Shtokavian (Štokavski) is Bosnian and Serbian, but in 19. century Croatians made it their official language, and now Chakavian and Kajkavian are slowly disappearing. In 16. century Slavonia was speaking Kajkavian.
#Ecolinguist. I'm a Slovene teacher as well. Teaching foreigners. I'd like to talk to you as well. :)
Lep pozdrav iz Slovenije :)
Van-e valahol egy felvételed, ahol magyarul beszélnél? Köszönöm Czy masz jakies nagranie na którym mówisz po wegiersku?
:) ruclips.net/video/pPvxFC6FXw0/видео.html - ebben a videóban beszélek egy kicsit magyarul. Arról beszélek, hogy milyen nyelveket és hogyan tanítok. Magyarul szoktam tanítani, de most csak lengyel tanulókkal dolgozom.
Byłem w Velenje na Sloveni. Całą noc bawiłem się na festynie pużniej byłem na dyskotece, miałem na sobie bluzę wojskową z flagą Holandii . Slovencom kojarzyło się z SERBAMI. Co chwilę pytali mnie czy jestem Serbski Snajper . Ale nikt kosy mi nie sprzedał za co serdecznie dziękuję , pozdrowienia z Polski , odwiedzę was jeszcze bardzo mi się podobało . Pozdrowienia z Polski bracia Słoweńcy.
Norbert a gde subtitle. Inogda bylo trudno vrazumit tebya!
veoma dobro razumem slovenku ali sam iznenadjen koliko puno sam razumeo poljaka
With the knowledge of Ukrainian and having had some exposure to Polish, most of the conversation was easy to understand
There are actually arround 321 lakes and ponds in Slovenia, not just 2. :-)
do you count every drop of water as a lake?
I'm an English speaker and watched this video several years ago and didn't really understand anything But now I understood 90% what she was saying, normally I have difficulty as Slovenians speak very quickly, but also understand people who live in Ljubljana or Maribor. I have noticed on television I understand some Russian but didn't really understand Polish.
Added note, 20 years ago I tried to learn Bulgarian and never made it past the alphabet but I'm well chuffed that I'm learning Slovenian. It's a lovely language.
razumeo sam slovenku 100 posto a poljaka barem 80 posto
I am fluent in slovenian and macedonian, also i fully understand all the south slavic languages (including the bulgarian)... Therefore, i have to admit that i underatand the polish quite a lot more than she did (and not just in this video, but in all of your other videos as well, like i understand what u are saying about 70% of the times, expecially when i am able to read it next to what u are saying).
I'm slovenian speaker and for me is polish like slavic chinese
"slavic chines"?? :) Dlaczego?
@@KristVladic for him the Polish language is like him listening to a chinese slavic language
I'm German and I actually try to learn Slovenian because I like this language a lot and the country seems to be very nice to me.
But it is really difficult to learn Slovenian because of the pronounciation. I think speaking Slovenian for me is easier than understanding
