   There are a few. But Polish will still be hard to learn. I also speak Russian fluently but I am Ukrainian. My grandma has taught me a few things in Polish though. Some things that are alike are Good Dy. In Russian it is pronounced dobriy deny and polish it is pronounced dzayn dobriy.

   There is a lot Polish is Slavic as you know- while and there a lot of word and phrases that are the same i’d recomend lestning to some spoken Polish and reading to decide. Poles like to claim there is not- but there is. I know some Russian.

   I speak Polish and when I hear Russian spoken can often understand the gist of what is being said.

   This is interesting site – http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/e/languages/similarities/russian/index.html
   It claims that 60% of vocabulary is very similar.

   You can check, whether you understand some Polish:
