marrying a hungarian and moving there is your nightmare scenario? that's an oddly specific nightmare.

What I find fascinating is that Hungarian (along with Finnish) is so different from anything else spoken in Europe they had to invent a whole language group of their own...
Plus, it sounds hilarious.

English and Spanish, I'm sad that the population of spanish-speaking people where I live isn't higher, just having that immersion would be great, but *sigh*, not that many in the midwest of the US. The only option to speak better, is to travel abroad and learn, or stay in class at college and get the most out of those four years.
If I could, I'd learn Japanese first, then try out Zulu, that sounds like a challenge |

Hungarian has two living relatives - Finnish and Estonian. the three are mutually unintelligible. i've been to Estonia a few times, and can't understand a word of what they say! does the language really sound that funny? i hear words rather than just noises so it's hard to judge.

Sounds like Portuguese to me.

I fluently speak English and Spanish and I know some basic Dutch and French.
