That is why I suggest Bulgarian. It has none of the grammatical
complexities of the other Slavic languages (although its verbs can be a
pain in the neck if you really want to master every nuance), but is
lexically as Slavic as a language can be. I've never studied it formally,
but, knowing Russian, I had no difficulty understanding it or making
myself understood the first time I visited Bulgaria.

Bulgarian is contemporary commmon Slavic and Church Slavonic lexicon with
an English-type analytical grammar. A cool language spoken by a very
*simpatico* people.

That's because the area appears to have been the initial nexus of an
expansory 'slavic' (central asian) colonization. Add a couple of early
bulgar-greek missionary devotees (now cyrillic saints) and voila
'pan-slavo razuika'!
