Language / Polish v Russian - similarity [17]

Strange you say that about German. Even taking the Cyrillic alphabet into account, I took to German a lot easier than I did to Russian.

I am more proficient in German than I am in Russian, although, if truth be told, I am sadly lacking in both languages.

I just wondered if it would be an easy "crossover" into Polish if I had some Russian under my belt.

Gab:
What funny tense thing?

Perfective and imperfective future tenses. I really struggle with it in Russian, still get it wrong!

Language / Polish v Russian - similarity [17]

Hello all,

A quick question about the two languages.

Obviously, they use different alphabets, but how similar is Polish to Russian?

On an initial, superficial inspection, they seem, to me, to have some crossover of vocabulary. Or have I just read too much into the few words of Polish I have heard pronounced?

Do they have similar grammatical constructions? 3 genders, instrumental cases, animate nouns...that sort of thing? Does Polish have that funny future tense thing that Russian has?

Regards

John
