Sometimes i still have problems calling out flags cause i don´t know the english name.
but i am pretty lucky with my squads and keep up the jokes so i can just call out some names that pop up in my mind and people know what i´m talking about.
it´s better to try and fail then never tried at all.

Did I get that right? If I did, it's definitely not Polski...

Slavic languages are loosely related...plus that sounded vaguely like my Polish grandmother talking...

Haha, that's actually pretty funny. In Croatian (Hrvatski), the personal pronoun is not capitalized -- hence, the "J" should have been a "j".
It's pretty cool that you got the accent on Z right -- which, by the by, is the way the first sound my name here is pronounced. Ž = Zh.
And the verb "govoriti" is a generalized, gender-less version, so it's not quite right -- "govorim" would be more like it.

You got it pretty close though

Govorim is a direct translation to Russian way of saying "talking" like in "talking to someone"

Interesting how its all interconnected.

Sweet!

I figure it's pretty important to know how to say "I'm sorry, I don't speak X" in as many languages as possible.

And I have to admit to copy/pasting the accent marks; I have no idea how to get them to show up while typing.

I work with an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo who just got his American citizenship about a month ago, and that got me interested in Indo-European languages. Seems like most of them are very closely related. They also look like they'd be lots of fun to learn.

Side note: I am amazed that "Kosovo" wasn't in Mozilla's spellchecker. Neither is "Indo-European."

Just don't confuse me with a Slav and it's all good :P
