SUPER TEŠKO!

Czech folks pick it up pretty quick though, don't they? And visa versa?

We have some overlapping similarities with other Slavic languages, but it's not really that close. For example, Slovenians that live a country away from us, speak an entirely different language. Although we can "kinda" understand them and vise versa, but it's nowhere near 100% fluidity back and forth.
