By the way, my German teacher was Gothic and Sacred games, my Polish teacher was youtube, who showed me videos of polish gothic movie-makers, and my English teacher were all the games I ever played in English.

I can mostly understand Croatian and only a few words which are Russian, Polish or Serbian, for they sounding or being almost the same like in Slovenian. I know some Latin but just because I'm going to a medical and biological specialized school [e.g. when a word ends with -itis, it's usually an inflammation (Tonsillitis, Bronchitis, Endocarditis etc.)]
Oh and I know a few Greek (swear) words because some Greek dude at my old workplace was swearing a lot. (Malaka = idiot)

We do study it in school from the 7th grade (from age... 13?) but our teacher was quite... incompetent. Our lessons were something like:
"Oooh, *something Swedish ramble none of us understood* and now then, I will give you this list of words that I made just for you, and I want you to read these words. If the word sounds like a nice word... Draw a flower next to it.
If you don't like the word, draw an angry face next to it. 
" ...Seriously?
Jag kan inte tala Svenska. Punkt slut.
But my English is pretty fluent, I think.

You mentioned you couldn't read/write in cyrillics but you can read latinici right?

Ahhh you're so lucky (or smart?) . I have so much troubles with padez it's not even funny. Worst of all, there aren't even any rules for it. If you ask anyone they're just like "you have to memorise it." OTL Like, they can explain the 7 conjugations-- but they can't tell you WHAT THEY ARE. I always mess it up. :(
I also speak english and french (fairly well, though not fluently. But I am in advanced French for my age heh)
If you don't mind me asking, what province (in Canada) do you live in? In my city there is a large population of Serbians, so I think you might live in my province heehee.

I can't read it in the latin alphabet fluently in the latin alphabet either. I was never taught it. However, someone once mentioned to me that Serbian is written exactly like it sounds, so I can read some things, if the words are small. The accents bother me.
To be sure, if someone gave me a sentence like:
Svaki dan idem u školu.
I'll know how to read it... it says, 'every day I go to school'.
I don't know. It all depends on how simple the words are.
Also, since Croatian is pretty much the same as Serbian, I guess I can speak that too?
I live in Ontario. Do you too?

It's an ongoing process with the Japanese, I doubt I'll ever return to French and German (English is close enough to them that I can wring some understanding out of basic stuff written in either language, enough to get by in those countries as a tourist at least).

Hmmm, almost the same like in Slovenian :D
Vsak dan grem v šolo.
another option is:
Jaz grem vsak(i) dan v šolo. (I go every day to school.) <= that's how I would say it
Although, you can say "idem" instead of "grem" too, it has the same meaning.

and yes, Slavic languages are quite similar but that's actually a big advantage for us :]

In school I tried French but I failed harder than a thousand McDonalds workers at that.
And I spent 15 years learning Irish but no joy there.
So I fail at language NEXT!

En Juillet je suis allé en France pour deux semaine. Je trouve que parler la langue est assez facile, mais de comprendre est trop difficile. Le gens parlent trop vite pour moi.
J'ai demandé pour un club de golfe, et je l'ai fait bien. Le probleme est venu quand l'assistant á repondu. Je ne comprenais pas un mot qu'elle dit.
Fin.

The differences between the two "ch" sounds are the end of me I swear. I think BCS (Bosno-Croat-Serbian is now the official name orz) in the latin alphabet it is the easiest to read language. Every letter will always sound the same no matter what. If I could ever remember the cyrillics then it would probably be the same but I'm used to latin letters.
Yeah, it's pretty much the same except for few differences. For example, in Serbian if you ask a question you'd say "Da li mi pomozes?" or something (I'm not that well with phrasing things in different dialects) but in Croation the word order would be changed to "Pomozes li mi?" or something, heh.
Ah, I live in BC. The area of Vancouver I live in is like Serbian central. The ONE place in town where the whites outnumber the asians. And it's mostly Serbians and Russians.
err... UP you made a few mistakes, but I could understand it! I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate me correcting your work, heh. Of course, the language is still fresh in my mind.

Translation time! Although I haven't taken french since June...
"I speak a little French, but it's been 2 years since I learned it in college.
In July I went to France for 2 weeks. I find that speaking the language is easy enough, but understanding it is very difficult. The people speak (should be spoke?) very quickly to me. I aksed for a golf club, and I did it well. The problem came when the assistant responded. I didn't understand a word she said.
The end."
That was fun.
Aussi, d'accord. Les gens de France parlent tres, tres vite.
