The main issue was people talking too damn fast lol. For some reason I find slovak easier to understand, even though the sample size isn't that high for me to reliably say so.
Also have a look at Lusatian languages. They're a fun oddity, as they're the other west slavic language barely anyone knows (the other being Kashubian)
ive met sorbians before! they were fun to listen to. a lot actually moved to czechia, they sound a lot like czech but with our german influences even more pronounced. i loved living on the border so many lanaguage shenanigans
Oh yeah, I think I saw that one already. Like I posted before, I got family near the border and to me Belarusian is hard to distinguish from Russian. But I never spoke to one in person.
yeah you eventually are just in tune and understand what words are similar and can communicate that way with lived experience... a lot of these words are similar regardless of the language though some languages are trickier
