Sorbian is the language of Lusatian Sorbs (or the Wends). They are the last remnant of Polabian Slavs.

Right! The dual case:

Old Church Slavonic had what nowadays is regarded as a linguistic curiosity: a “dual” case. Nouns, adjectives and all verb forms had two variants for “we”. One variant meant two people and the other variant meant more than two.

The only language that shows this feature today is Slovenian – which has inherited it from Church Slavonic. Where virtually all language today have I, you, he/she/it, we, you, they, Slovenian has an extra item: we (dual) and we (three and over).

Indeed, an archaic case. Though once it had to be a common Slavic feature.

I think czech and slovene would be the hardest to learn. For me Polish is way more understandable

Heard that Old Church Slavonic and the similar Old Bulgarian were the nightmare of all Slavic philology students.

Russian definitely, not cause it is the easiest but Russians are everywhere around and it is the widest speaking Slavic language, same as English is easiest foreign language for pretty much every non-English speakers, it is everywhere around and you cannot run from it, you'll find people to talk to easiest which is important, you'll find the best guides and a lot of material like magazines and tv, which is also very important. But, the thing is, once you learned one language, it will be pretty much easy to learn any other Slavic language no matter which one you choose.

That Yank's a friend of mine. His Slovenian is now excellent, but he's an unusually smart guy , and yeah, it probably is the hardest Slavic language to learn. 50 dialects and 7 dialectal groups. Even news anchors on TV often mispronounce words due to the myriad accent shifts. If you want to speak intelligibly as a foreigner, you have to learn to mispronounce words correctly, all of which again varies by region. km`et -> kméta
