Thank you all for your answers, I'll read about those languages. I'm feeling inclined to learn a Slavic language once I'm in a comfortable level in Swedish.

Whenever there is a news story on the Czech TV news about some issue in Slovakia, it is always a Slovakian reporter speaking Slovak who does the report. Edited by stelingo on 24 August 2009 at 11:42pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

As mentioned previously Czech and Slovak.
And Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian...etc. are pretty much the same language and until recently were always classified as Serbo-Croatian. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Bulgarian and Macedonian are mutually intelligible. I'm a native speaker of Bulgarian and I could watch Macedonian television and understand about 90% of the things, without having any previous knowledge of Macedonian.
I also met Macedonian people a few months ago, in Germany, and we were able to understand each other without any problems. Nevertheless, we tended to speak a little more slowly than usual. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

My Polish friend told me that once he and his mother were able to converse in Polish freely with a Czech lady who
was replying back in Czech. This most definitely would have something to do with the fact that my friend's mother is born in Cieszyn, a Polish city on the border of Poland-Czech Republic, but I know that she doesn't really use any local Polish anymore, just regular Standard Polish. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I disagree with the Polish-Czech pair. I can't normally understand spoken Czech. The only mutually intelligible pair that could be argued involving Polish would be Polish-Kashubian.
