How long you've been conquering Russian? It's a tough language.
Several weeks. It takes an average Slovak to learn Russian in under 2.5 months. Nothing special, our grammar is similar/more complex and all you have to learn from scratch is Azbuka.

And more practical in Slavic countries. Sure there is a difference, but let's not go that deep into the topic.

No, but some words are similar. I can understand it though, even though Ukrainians have been using their old language since a very long time, it still feels like a Russian derivative (and reads similarily).

Yep. That's staticstics. 4.5mil Croats, 5.5mil Slovaks and more than 10Mil Czechs. 1mil Slovaks annualy travel to Croatia. And so does, accordiong to the statistics also 3.4mil Czechs. So it's 4.4million a year. That is in June and July (most of the travels there) and we get 2.2mil/month, now given this and your population of 4.5 we get:
Quote:
2.2/4.5=0.48
That would mean that there's as many Slovaks and Czechs as half your population. Now add to that Germans, Serbians, Slovenians, Russians, Italians and you will find out that annualy every 3rd person is either Slovak or Czech, thus representing our bre mountains.

LoL, when I look at it this way, there's (at some point) even more visitors than Croats.
