Hungarian grammar is quite simple: Subject + Predicate + Bazdmeg

[Mokso]

Only Hungarians and God can speak hungarian language

Hello from Transilvania, as a Romanian who grew up among ethnic Hungarians, I can tell you straight that Hungarian is one of the hardest languages to learn .It's a beautiful and very complex language backed by a vast culture and tradition, but good luck trying to master it.

Én tanulok magyarul más fél évet és nagyon szeretem a magyar nyelvet. Nehéz de szép és nagyon szép halgatni. Most lakom a Budapesten és én nagyon szeretek ez város. Sajnos töbnyire sok külfoldi emberek nem szereti tanulni magyarul.

I am a simply man. When I see something about Hungary - I like it and watch. :)
Greetings from Poland !

greetings from Poland friends!
Lengyel, magyar – két jó barát,

Együtt harcol s issza borát!

Watching this as a native Mongolian speaker, the Hungarian language seems really familiar and intuitively makes a lot of sense to me. A majority of the grammatical rules are essentially the same rules with just different sounds and even how the language sounds are familiar, too.

I learned Hungarian as a kid from Omega's song "Gyöngyhajú lány" which was very popular in the 70s in Russia.

[seantran]

my history teacher is Hungarian and one tie one of my classmates to ask him to speak Hungarian, and he turned that entire lesson into a Hungarian lesson lol

[laszlosoltesz]

Thank you Paul. I am a 70 year old Hungarion who emigrated to Canada with my parents in 1957. This evening I learned a lot about my people and my language.

Just wanted to say "Hi" to our Hungarian bros from Poland

I studied Hungarian for a few months. BAZAAR! Definitely NOT indo-european. I would place it somewhere between Klingon and old Southern Hemishere Martian.

[curth]

My parents were both true Hungarians immigrated in 1970 in Canada I want to learn the language to honor them and our heritage

[MihaiMihai-wrnh]

My grandpa knows Russian perfectly and Hungarian at an intermediate level ! And he said that if he was able to learn Hungarian, he will certainly be able to learn English and he started learning English 2 months ago and he is really making progress! He is 85 years old and said that it is never too late! and honestly he is right! (We are from Romania)!

[piotrscigalski]

Poles really like and respect Hungarians. These are our brothers and friends since the Middle Ages. Greetings from Krakow

As a Finn it's funny to listen to Hungarian as it sounds like Finnish with it's intonation, pacing etc. only you can't understand anything.

I am Austrian, I speak some languages fluently and really like foreign languages.

Hungarian is my favourite foreign language. It's the most elegant and creative foreign language for me. Also the Hungarian Culture is very rich and special.

Én osztrák és magyarul az én kedvenc idegen nyelvem. :-) Különösen szép nyelv és nagyon érdekes a Magyar Kultúra is.
