This is a genuine question. I’ve always had an interest in learning languages and I have a list I want to learn. I am already somewhat decent in Spanish, so I’m picking up that, practicing my Portuguese, going to learn French and Italian, maybe German, learning Polish, and possibly Russian.
I already canceled the idea of living in Russia due to obvious reasons, but will I have any need to learn the language? Will it be useful? Will that be offensive? Many people HATE Russia and the language.
If you’re OK with being a slav sympathizer go for it. Hopefully it will eventually be a dead language.
OK Adolph…?
What the fuck is “slav sympathizer” supposed to mean?
Is Polish ok then?
ok for what? talking to poles who don’t speak english? definitely. talking to anyone else? no.
A casual reminder that Slavs are a diverse group of people not united by the same ideas and political agenda.
If your worry is association with Russia specifically, several Slavic countries are actively anti-Russia and are parts of NATO.
Ukraine is Slavic, too.
