Looking at this map, can you relate with the same coloured country as yours like
"Yeah, their language is kinda close to ours, I can understand them better than the other colours" ?

Yes

I can literally only understand Czechs and Slovaks if they speak very very slowly, slav languages being remotely similar is a meme.
"In addition, the differences between the Slavonic dialects are so great that with few exceptions they are mutually incomprehensible. This was amusingly demonstrated at the Slav Congress at Prague in 1848, where after various fruitless attempts to find a language intelligible to all the delegates, they finally had to speak the tongue most hated by them all—German"

Yes

I find Dutch and French the easiest foreign languages to understand.

No.
But some languages have more Greek loanwords than others.
For example, Italian has a fuckton, while Polish not much.

Language, yes. Culture, no.

Yes

I can only understand the people in the South Slavic countries. And a little Russian, since it was heavily influenced by medieval Bulgarian.

Yes.

Spanish and Italian are definitely easier to understand than Finnish or Dutch.

Serbian is 99% similar,Slovenian is 50%.The rest is nowhere close.

English isn't in the same family as Finnish though

The answer is yes of course.

Of course

Russia
No (except Belarus)

I.can understand french more than italian
And with English German too
T. Castillano.

How about Ukraine? Heard that some Ukrainians use it and Russian interchangeably, so how close are they really?

can't understand any of them

Yes with the exception of austrians, no idea what the fuck theyre saying.

>or Dutch
It's practically mutually intelligible. The closest to English out of any language.

yes

Well, it really depends on the topic of conversation.
Sometimes I can understand 0%, and sometimes around 40-50%

Ukrainians know 2 languages by default so it doesn't matter what they think about it

Yes, I can relate to the genocide of Green people :)

Yes.

The same way you "understand" the Ryukyuan languages. There's a reason you don't see US and British flags running around always switching between English, German and Swedish at the drop of a hat.

Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia speak the same. Slovenian and Macedonian you will understand about 90% with a bit of training. Czech sounds similar in how they speak, but I can't understand them. Rest of the Slavic languages are very different to my ear.

Yes. The colors in red are easier to understand than the other colors
However, dutch and frisian is easier to understand (and prettier) than german
