Why Magyar? Why Share the Struggle?
Learning Magyar as a non-native speaker in mid-life has been anything but easy. But I know I’m not alone in this journey. Language can feel daunting, especially when it’s as unique and intricate as Hungarian. My goal is to document each step, struggle, and success to encourage others who may also be navigating the ups and downs of learning Magyar.
