Ausztrál Tom: The Joy of Learning Hungarian – VIDEO

Ausztrál Tom said in his YouTube account:

In today’s episode of Keeping up with the Hungarians we explore the Hungarian language learning experience. For Hungarians, here’s an outsider perspective on the language learning journey. I’m curious if you also though of it this way. And for English speakers, this is my letter of support/pep talk.

You may be surprised to know there are plenty of Hungarian language learners out there. With a lot of inputs from amazing Hungarians on Twitter, Instagram, via email and in the comments, I wanted to put together this love letter to the Hungarian language. I know I go through waves where I feel like I’m getting the hang of it, then feel completely incompetent. Obviously this applies to all foreign language learning, but sometimes Hungarian feels a bit spesh.

I’ve never done a two-language video before with a special focus on English, so hope it’s okay. This 4 minute video took me around 18 hours to subtitle haha, so please be gentle about any clumsiness. This video is a bit conceptual at times, but each ‘segment’ has a very real backstory.

Thank you Tom for this great video:
