Romanian in my experience is much more like French and Italian. Sure, it borrowed some
Slavic words, but the core is very much Romance.

Some Romanian and French words are identical, such as Salut meaning hello in both

The main thing is that for me the difference between Romanian and other Romance languages is not that significant. Of course it's partly due to my experience with the Slavic languages, but the OP has it as well.

So would Romanian be easiest with my Polish and Romance experience?
