How many Slavic languages are there?
The Slavic language you are probably the most familiar with is Russian, but there are at least 14 Slavic languages spoken today. The Slavic languages can be divided into three different branches. The first branch is the East Slavic branch, which includes Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian.

The East Slavic Languages
The East Slavic branch comprises Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian (formerly called Ruthenian). Of these, Russian is by far the most widely used. It is the native language of Russia and the first language for more than 160 million speakers.
Can you learn all Slavic languages?
You can't learn all Slavic languages at once. Since you're a native English speaker, they probably all seem the same to you. However, there are important differences, not only in vocabulary and pronunciation, but in grammar, too. Russian and Polish, for example, have declensions.
Is German a Slavic language?

What's the easiest Slavic language?
If you're looking to communicate with the most amount of people or have a love for literature, Russian is the best Slavic to learn. If you're looking for the easiest Slavic language to learn, we would suggest Bulgarian with the lack of grammatical cases.

Slovenian is the only one to have preserved the dual number, both in conjugation and declension. Some Slavic languages have a very large amount of loanwords from Latin/Romance, Germanic, and Turkic, while some others have been more conservative.

Is Czech and Russian similar?
Russian and Czech may seem very daunting. They are Slavonic languages and, with the Cyrillic alphabet or numerous diacritics, look and sound exotic. However, they are similar in structure to other European languages.
Are Slavic languages hard?
Even among Slavic languages (from which I am acquainted, to some degree, with Czech, Slovak, Polish, and Russian), Czech is probably one of the hardest, but most Slavic languages are, in principle, similar.
How similar are Slavic languages?

Is Romanian a Slavic language?
