Learn That Language Now -- Learn a New Language 3 Times Faster
If I learn Russian, how much easier is it to learn other slavic languages afterwards (e.g. Polish, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Czech, etc...)
Home > Languages > Russian > FAQ > Other slavic

Slavic languages all share some common grammatical patterns and vocabulary.

Knowing one language will clearly make it much easier to acquire another one. But differences between slavic languages should not be underestimated. In addition, some of them, such as Polish, are intrisically complex. Other languages, such as Czech, have been strongly influenced by non-slavic languages (German in this instance).

From Russian you will have an easy route to Bulgarian, Belarusian and Ukrainian, the so-called "East Slavic languages".

Learning Czech, Slovak, Macedonian, Slovenian, Serbo-Croatian or Polish will require more work.
