Interslavic, do you speak it?

I understood everything he said, this sounds really good

@nikolal

Yes, this is pretty cool indeed - I understand almost all he says!

@nikolal

But as I listen to it, I don't think I'm very representative as I also speak fluent Russian and understand Czech, Slovak and Ukrainian pretty well 😂 Probably this should be assessed by someone who just knows one Slavic language.

The true horror of Slavic languages is the vocabulary - words like "sklep" or "uroda" have 100% reverse meaning in Polish and Russian which is driving people crazy when trying to learn either 😂

@kravietz
I think its supposed to be like some middle ground and easily understandable to slavs that speak one language (me for example), its doing good job imo

@nikolal

So the author had a very good idea of building the vocabulary based on statistical prevalence of the "difficult" words across various Slavic languages. Everyone has to learn *some* meanings but much less than if you're Polish learning Russian or the other way around.
