    I think Polish and Slovenian is very similar

    zachód/zahod - west, not eastern "zapad" (from CR to Russia)
    when a person from Liberec goes to zachod, he goes to toilet

    lul, you can find similar words but the two languages are far away from each other, do you live in the US?
    And why are you comparing Czech with Polish, when we are talking about Slovenian.

    At first I thought it was some Baltic language, since those are for me most alien in Europe, but time to time I heard those Slavic words so it could be only Slovenian.

    other word - gozd - forest, South Slavs will use šuma, North-East las/les
    but you have a places like Gózd or Gozdnica here in Poland not Leśnica, and this little town lies in the middle of the forests

    you just have/use poor slavic vocabulary....
    word = slovo-słowo-Slovianie....
    Slava, Sława, pan-slavism etc.

    but Slovenian beseda - word is still in use: "biesiadowali", "беседовали" and you even do not realize its roots - they talked words - from beseda, this Slovenian beseda

    This is not as weird except that I barely understand anything out of it. But in a real life situation it can come across as weird, especially in a crowd in Poland, you know

    Some of it above is a little bit Italian-like but other times oddly Russian-like actually except for familiar-ish words and these constant -iti, - eti, -ov etc. whereas in Polish it would be ici (ići pronounced), -ieci, -ści etc

    But flat-out unintelligible with Polish.
