I'd rather learn Polish, thankyouverymuch.

Would be nice to talk to other people so that nobody else understands a damn thing.

Oh, it will be nice to see your faces when you find out what the Slavic aspect madness is like. Quite intricate a system they've got (obviously all mixed up among themselves, like what is Bulgarian even) (and they totally wrecked a few PIE conjugation paradigms to get there).

Also congratulations Sublevel, nicely done.

Yeah Russian is alright I guess but damn does the palatalization patterns not feel right. Like Polish has all this nice, symmetrical phonology with the alveolar, alveolo-palatal and retroflex series, but Russian just plain palatalizes everything in sight it seems.
