whataworldwhataworld asked: As a Polish speaker, I can actually understand Czech/Slovakian speakers (not every word but the general gist of the conversation) at about, I'd say, maybe at least 60% or more! My Russian/Ukrainian comprehension is much lower; I might understand a quarter of everything said, no more than 1/3 or so (although there are some Ukrainians I can understand better than others. Perhaps different dialects?).

Hm, a friend of mine who’s Ukrainian-American says she can understand Polish pretty well, so I thought they were closer.

I can’t understand either of them at ALL. Maybe a word here or there.
