I hope you'd make a video like this ,yay! :D So glad you included Czech. To me it's by far the hardest language (and most unique and beautiful one) out of all the slavic languages. I started learning Polish, Russian and Ukrainian for a while and had to stop out of time issues. But when I heard Czech for the first time, I fell in love with it instantly, because it's so beautifully harsh sounding, like a cat hissing or somethimes purring. I had to start learning it right away. And this one I sticked to. It is not comparable to other slavic languages regarding how difficult it is, at least in my opinion. It took me months to even be able to speak the ř, even longer whenever there's a T or D in front of it as in tři, dřevo etc. And I heard even Czech kids often have trouble learning it. So yeah, it's definitely the hardest one :D I only wished you would have included some tongue twisters of every one of these languages so you could really have heard how hard each of them actually can be. In this video I feel there was too little representation of Czech language and it's characteristicts. But otherwise great video! :) Please include Czechs more often

[@kkarx]

I am Czech and I was not able to pronouce "R" until I was 14 and "Ř" until I was 17. Actually the fact that my schoolmates made fun of me and bullied me pushed me to learn both of them. I have a name with two letters "R" in it so that was the priority. "Ř" was way more difficult. I could not get it for another years so how did I manage to learn it? I practiced at nights and tried to follow the advice that it your tongue moves almost the same way as when you pronounce "R" but with your mouth more closed. With this advice I roughly got it in a weak but I still needed many more months to master it. Once I visited a speech clinic and I was told that if people dont learn it in their childhood it is very unlikely that they will ever learn it. There is obviously also some mental block.

Actually he is kinda right a lot of Czech words are taken from German language. Czechs and Germans lived together in the Czech area for many centuries, mixing with each other, and German culture has greatly enriched Czech culture. You can't deny that.@@miskazgyzmohoodu36

[@aarpftsz]

@@DominikCmunt It's funny how people always think that language and cultural influence only goes one way, seemingly thinking that the nations of today were in a similar position of influence and power in the past as they're today. E.g: Vienna used to be a hotspot for Czechs during Austria-Hungary, the influence still being visible by Viennese surnames and vocabulary. Also the Czech national revival did it's thing with the language "purification" and as a result I'd say that even Poles use more German words on the daily basis than Czechs do. But yeah, the similarity in how languages can sound similar (which to a lot of people equals "pleasant") to one another, even if not explicitly related, is called a "Sprachbund." If you were to put Austrian German, Czech, and Hungarian on a fast forward, they would produce really similar *sounds*. Edit: just a sidenote but in no way whatsoever did I try to imply some "big" or "extreme" cultural impact of my people on another (in this case the Austrians). I meant it more along the lines of how it's somewhat sad that most cultural traditions that are *common* and shared in and around Central Europe (no matter how opinionated against this term you may be it is an exact fit for the whole area in the socio-cultural sense) are automatically labeled as an *exclusively* German import. For some it is true, but for others it's slightly more complicated.

as a native Czech speaker, all the other Slavic languages sound ridiculously hard compared to Czech, we basically pronounce everything the way it's written without much intonation but the other languages just decided it would be fun to mix it up a little :D English is even worse at that, so I assume to someone who's used to that, a clear-sounding language might actually be just as hard.

[@Pidalin]

Exactly, Czech uses very basic simple vowels like in Latin, the most basic and simple sounds which human body can reproduce - A E I O U and I noticed that other speakers can't just say simple clear E for example, it's always some weird schwa sound, combination of E and I or something. The same with some consonants, when eastern slavs speak, I am not sure if there is a V in that word or it was some kind of U or VU or VUE or something and also their totaly randomly moving accent doesn't help to that. So yes, it's true that Czech has that simple and clear pronunciation that it's actually hard for speakers from countries where they don't know clear simple vowels and even consonants are kind of unclear when they say it. I noticed that Spanish and Italian speakers are pretty good in pronouncing Czech, definitely better than other slavic speakers, which is weird, but it's true. When you look at Italian alphabet, they say for example A, I, O and U completely the same as in Czech, E is slightly different, but not that different. But even in Czech, you sometimes turn "dobrý den" into something like "dbrý dEn" where E is unclear when you are lazy to pronounce that. 🙂

A massive, _massive_ part of getting *any* foreign language (leaving aside the usual school/college/university book slog) depends on how young you were introduced to it and how much you were exposed to it at a young age. The younger the better. If you were born to an English-speaking mother and a Ukrainian/Czech/Polish/Belarusian (delete as applicable) father and the non-English speaking father spoke to you mostly in the non-English language, just as much as the mother spoke to you in English, then these languages wouldn’t be difficult at all! That goes for _any_ learning of a second/third/etc. language: the key is early exposure to it through simple conversation. No grammar books necessary! One thing that always amazes me is that there are people who bring up children in a bilingual household yet, for whatever reason, they don’t bring up their children as bilinguals! 🤷‍♂️ Surely being in a bilingual couple is _the_ ideal opportunity to bring your children up speaking 2 languages fluently.

Pronunciation isn't the only hard thing about Slavic languages. Most of them have grammar features not found elsewhere: * Masculine nouns have an accusative form that depends on whether they're animate. * The form of a noun used with a number depends on the last word of the number, with three forms in most, one for 1, one for 2-4, and one for 5-20 etc. * Verbs come in pairs, one imperfective and one perfective. Deriving one from the other is not consistent.

[@Pidalin]

As a Czech, I can tell you that pronunciation is the most important. I don't care that foreigner has broken grammar, but when I can't understand what he is trying to say becuase of bad pronunciation, I can't understand at all.

In fact, Salvic languages ​​are difficult to understand and learn for any language related to the Germanic family. I tried to learn Russian once, and my native language is German. It was very hard and after 6 months I gave up and switched to Japanese and even everyone said it was crazy to switch from Russian to Japanese and said Slavic languages ​​were hard but learning an Asian language, no , That's not it. Japanese has a lot in common with my language, it is not a melodic/tonal language, it is based on sylbils and does not have many changes in intonation. They use pronouns like Kore, Sore, Are, Kono, Sono, Ano, like the Germans did with Dies, Das, Das da, Dieses, Dieses da, Dieses dort and so on. And the verbs don't change as much as in German. They also have no plural and no genders. That makes it easier than Russian and the seven cases. Many Slavic languages ​​​​also change the endings of names and the name itself and the verbs are related to the case and also change a lot. The hardest thing in Asian languages ​​are the symbols/kanji, but it's not that much harder as to learn and read a book or letter written in Cyrillic, which is also difficult to read and understand. For me as a German, the easiest languages ​​are English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, French, Latin, Spanish, Italian and Japanese.

[@Pidalin]

I can feel your pain, as a Czech, I tried it several times to look at cyrillic and trying to learn it and I always gave up, not after 6 months, but after like 6 minutes. 😀 It just looks like some bird footprints to me, even korean hangul is easier. I think the main problem of cyrillic is that they have some latin letters, but you have to read them differently than in latin, which is super confusing. You should probably start with Czech as a German, it has accent always on first syllable, monotone intonation and no schwa sounds, it's definitely easier to pronounce than Russian.

I think, Cyrillic letter is just switch some Latin letter and for me, it's not hard to memorize all of them. IMHO, one thing that makes Polish is that hard to learn or even pronounce is there are too many consonants in a word 😫

[@blinski1]

In Polish shifting from hard to really easy to pronounce is just remembering that Z is just a part of digraphs, like H in English. Only Polish use that among slavic languages, so Z's after consonants are just like háčeks (those litle 'ticks' above consonants) in other Slavic languages.

The Poles and other Slavs have tricks to speak many consonants; they use the phonetic vowels embedded in the pronunciation of consonants to speak words more fluidly.

The level of difficulty for me: 1.Ukrainian-easy 2.Belarusian-easy 3.Czech-medium 4.Polish-hard

[@mnemonicpie]

Bc the Poles and Czechs aren't true Slavs, they were conquered and subjugated by the Anglos

[@aarpftsz]

Subjugated by the anglos? So that means their languages are harder? Lmao, stop watching weird videos about alternate history and how the west is dying or something go touch grass.

@@mnemonicpie You probably shouldn't confuse two things, namely the genetic affiliation and the linguistic affiliation as regards of a certain nation. Although, as a person from Moravia, I am a genetic mix of Neolithic ancestors and all later incoming / transiting groups of people, linguistically I belong to the West Slavic language group.

[@erikhubel1064]

The problem of Czech language is that it almost disappeared after battle On the White Mountain (today part of Prague) because of strong germanisation and burning of czech written books. The "revivalists" of Czech language have to made grammar and vocabulary again from scrap. They made it from spoken language to written form. So for Czech people is quite easy, because we write what we hear, but for foreigners is literally hell... 😂 And to be more complicated, lot of words were used from Russian, French and of course German languages. And second "Revival movement" wanted to show that Czech language is more better than German so they started to some kinda translate all of the German words. For example "Tissue" is in German "Taschentuch" which literally means bag cloth and in Czech is "kapesník" which literally means pocket tissue/towel. Very simply said - this is why is Czech language so difficult.

[@martinkukla4368]

That is not true that we write what we hear. Very often we say diferent consonan against that we write.What about the word hrad which means castle. We write d but in singular we pronounce t. Or in the word dívka in the meaning girl we say f not v and there are more examples as led (ice) but we also have let (flight). So they do not say that we write what we hear. Because it is not true. We also change the pronountation of consonants. Mostly at the end of the words.Okay there are no silent letters. Every letter is pronounced. But still we pronounce diferently than we write. And to be honest this the most dificult to teach foreigners. And believe me I am a teacher of Czech for foreigners. So I have many expereinces with that.

[@Croftice1]

@@martinkukla4368 Generally speaking, he's not wrong. We do read, what we write down. There are of course exceptions to that rule (as you've mentioned). But compared to for example English, where every second word is pronounced differently, than it is written, we have more of those, that are pronounced the way they are written. Regarding those exceptions, like "hrad", initially there might be a "t" sound, but make it plural and suddenly the "t" sound is gone. (I personally pronounce it with "d" in singular still, might be, that I'm from Moravia and not quite Czech, dunno.)

[@ewed418]

As a foreigner in Prague I can say Czech is hard...but the way Polish is written is even weirder

[@bordergorilla8601]

As a polish person i always find czech lengauge so cute, but i know they think the same about us XD its like a little kid speaking polish.

[@thanilche]

I'm from Slovenia and watching this I think we have a lot in common with czech and slovak language. For me czech was the easiest and polish the hardest to pronounce

[@Pidalin]

Czech is definitely the easiest to pronounce, that american girl is really weird. Even basic words like word for a day have some DZI and Ń in Polish, while in Czech, it's just super simple with basic letters, sometimes some long vowel, but English speakers should be able to hear the difference between long and short vowels, because their words like ship/sheep are kind of similar to our long vowels. For me as Czech, it's super hard to hear what east slavs say, I can't hear what letters they say, I don't know if it was V or U or some VU or what, I just can't hear that and when I can't hear that, I can't even replicate that word and say it myself. I think it's important to know writting system of that language to be able to imagine that word, I can read Polish becasue I visited Poland several times, so I know that weird "VUO" sound is that crossed L and it's similar pronunciation to English W, so I can distinguish letters in that word and say it, in east slavic languages, I don't hear where one sound ends and another starts. I really need to learn how to read cyrillic, but those letters are so confusing. 😀

​@@Pidalinto je pravda, ukrajinština nemá čistý frikativní zvuk v, který mají ostatní slovanské jazyky. Místo toho máme labiodentální/bilabiální aproximantu - dá se říct líné v. Myslím že běloruština, jako že nejbližší k ukrajinštině jazyk má to podobně. My jsme dokonce nedávno půjčili do jazyka souhlásku f, která se vyskytuje jenom v cizích slovech. Dříve starší lidí vyslovovali místo f chv. Například moje prababička vyslovovala jmeno Fedor jako Chvedir. 😅

[@Pidalin]

@@Kennyaltair88 No ty vole a pak tomu máme rozumět když Fedor je Chvedir. 😀 F taky píšeme jenom ve slovech cizího původu, ale naopak si F přidáváme do spousty slov kde je to jednodušší vyslovit než V, třeba místo "vstávat" řekneš "fstávat" a podobně.

@@Pidalin Ukrainian and Belarusian should at some point adopt Łacinka which is based on Czech/Slovak alphabet. I would be much easier for us (West Slavs) and for them. Another think is that both Ruthenian ladies do not speak well in their Ruthenian languages, especially Belarusian girl. Both have strong Russian accent and Belarusian is using Russian words.

0:30 1. russia was born thanks to ukrainian language - the Language of RUS State( not kyiv Rus) was the one ukrainians speeks today. Back in that days this language has another name - Rus' language 2. although you see similarities between the writing of the first syllable in the terms Rus' State and russia - these terms are absolutely unrelated. Those whom you call russians tried to achieve such an identification, so that in the past and today they would do everything that they do in Ukraine and Israel and in Syria and in Libya and in African countries!

This property can hardly be explained by the words psychosis, sadism, words that, in essence, do not explain anything at all...

The people who have never known or spoken the truth are the people of spiritual and physical slaves. Poor people." I have to express my sad view of the Russian man - he has such a weak brain system that he is not able to perceive reality as it is. There are only words for him. His conditioned reflexes are coordinated not with actions, but with words. (Academician Ivan Pavlov, 1932). "There is no smaller, scumbag and rude person in this world than a katsap (muscovite = Russian). Born in a Nazi country, fed Nazi propaganda, this bastard will never become a Man. His country has no friends - either friends or enemies. His country is only capable of threatening, humiliating and killing. And for the preservation of this status of Russia, a private soldier is ready to sacrifice his own life, the lives of his parents and children, the quality of life of his own people. Truly: katsaps are beasts. Fierce, bloodthirsty, but... mortal. (A. I. Solzhenitsyn) " It seems to a Russian that all his neighbors offend him, do not bow down enough to his greatness and conspire against him in every way. He accuses everyone and his family of wanting to harm him, to separate from him and go over to his enemies - and he considers all his neighbors to be his enemies." (VladimirSolovyov. Imaginary and actual measures to raise the national welfare // Solov'ev V.S. The meaning of love: Selected works. M., "Sovremennyk", 1991) With other European nations it is possible to achieve the goal by humane methods, but not so with the Russians... I am not dealing with people, but with animals, which I want to transform into people. (Peter 1) "Russia is the ugliest country in the history of the world. By the method of selection, monstrous moral freaks were bred there, in which the very concept of Good and Evil was turned inside out. Throughout its history, this nation has been floundering in shit and at the same time wants to drown the whole world in it. (Ivan Ilyin, Russian philosopher, one of the main ideologues of the White movement) I'm horrified to think who will give birth to this drunken bloody cattle that seized power in Russia, and what will happen to my country in two or three generations. Anyway, what to think here. It's more or less clear." (Ivan Bunin).
