Which Slavic language groups are the closest?

[Bezprym]

Ok then. I'll stick to talking to you in Russian
And really you have trouble responding in Russian? I didn't notice at all lol. You seem a natural lol. I'm the one sometimes rereading my writing to make sure it was all Russian and that I didn't sneak ukrainian in there lolol.

I use basic vocabulary I know.
Regarding Ukrainian, you can always use this language and I can respond in my modest Russian.

Yes exactly. I also understand Czech pretty well. Haven't heard Slovak enough to know how much I understand though. But Czech seems more similar to Ukrainian than Russian to me. And yes Polish and Sorbian are more similar. They are my hardest two to understand lol. And someone told me Polish is very similar to Russian and I'm like then why is it soooo hard lol. Make Polish easier for all of us please Besprym lol

What about Rusyn language? As far as I know it's very similiar to Ukrainian, some say it's a dialect.

Ok! I will test you then. I'll write in Ukrainian sometimes and see if you understand it. Would you prefer real Ukrainian or the coded way I like to write to avoid people using google translate on me? Lol. But ukranian coded way would be more impressive too so you can't cheat lol

Oh, yes I forgot about that one. I still understand it. Like I just watched what Mikula posted and I understood most of it.
