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?
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.
Is Polish ok then?
ok for what? talking to poles who don’t speak english? definitely. talking to anyone else? no.
