Thank you for explanation 
I was a bit surprised cause I was thinking about 2 countries you've mentioned: Czech Republic and Slovakia. I always had to use mixture of Polish and their languages to talk, cause people I met didn't talk in English too well and in German at all But I can say that only about these 2 countries.
Apparently we met very different people
Oh dear, we really use different sources in this matter
Few years ago I read some scholarly article about languages of the world. Some scientists made a research to compare a degree of difficulty many languages. And honestly I rememeber only first and second place, cause I was interested in Polish there. First was one of Chinese dialects, but I don't rememeber how it's called. And second was Polish. They compared many characteristics of languages and this second place was caused by mainly tho things: specific gramma and very difficult pronunciation.
Gramma - cause we conjugate/decline almost everything. We don't conjugate/decline only few parts of speech like prepositions, conjunctions - but this is obviously. And we do it with more than 99% words of our language. And of course there are tons of rules to conjugate/decline words, but most of conjugations or declinations are just irregular. And pronunciation - we just rustle. Some words are impossible to pronounce by foreigners - cause of very difficult few sounds put together.
But this is what I've read - not checked and I don't rememeber things about Dutch - but I was reading mainly about first and second place.

) with their wacky pronounciation (even though in writing it's 90% like Norwegian). I liked most of the Slavic languages I've heard cause there's often a relation to Polish in the pronounciation.
