My dad is off the boat from Czech Republic, came here 30 years ago, so obviously speaking Czech his whole life, and with any Slavic based language, he can understand most Polish, Slovak, etc. Even can get by with Russian since he spent a year in service in Moscow.
However, and this is no offense to Csulik at all, since I am very impressed at his English speaking (better than a lot of immigrants here in the US!), but I asked my old man one time if he understood any Hungarian, and he told me word for word as follows:
"Hungarian? Now I understand a few different ones, but that's a wild language, unlike any other in Europe. I don't even know if gypsies understand it!"
Obviously no offense to be stirred, just what I remember from my dad when I was younger.
