Pieter,
this video about differences in Polish and Russian by two cute and professional girls is very good. I am aware of these differences "remember" versus "forget" etc... since all of these words that mean something different come from the same root.... like divan "carpet" in Polish versus "sofa" in English. Still they do it in a very interesting way.

Jaga,
This conversation between this young Polish woman and Russian woman was interesting to me, because you heard both slavic languages next to each other. As being a person who do not speak Polish nor any other slavic languages, the 2 languages sound closer to me than for someone who speaks for instance Polish, Russian, Czech, Slovak or Ukrainian. Slavic speakers will hear the difference.Do you learned Russian or speak Russian Jaga? Another nice surprise was the interest and respect these Polish people have for Russian culture, cities and people. I had always the impression that Poles hate the Russian language, Russian people, the Russian culture and Russia. I am probably mistaken. Poles are wary of the intentions of the Russian Federation, due to their experiences with Czarist Russia and the SovjetUnion. Maybe you have the same in the Slavic world like in the Germanic world. We are different, but some Dutch people are interested in the German, Scandinavian and certainly the (British, American and Australian) English languages, peoples, countries and cultures.
Cheers,
Pieter
