Personal comments
... well, studying Hungarian is something else. It's a hard language, and there is little time for it, since you get very busy with homework and different sorts of assignment. the good news is that you don't have to speak hungarian here. School is all in english; plus, a lot of people ouside of school can at least understand english (and sell you a beer in english as well :)
