For the most part, I found 100% of the younger generation speak English, even in the rural areas.

I speak a little, but have family and friends there. The younger generation is mandated to choose either English or German in school and they must pass a proficiency test to graduate high school. It is an excellent system.

My father escaped Hungary in 1956. I own a home near Lake Balaton and visit often. I enjoy it there.

I just spent 3 weeks north of there at Mosonmagyaróvár.

Hungary is a beautiful country with beautiful people. The alcohol problem in older men is pretty bad, but the younger generation appears full of energy and hopeful.

I was impressed the way the Hungarians opened their arms to help the Ukrainian women and children escaping the war. It moved my heart.

My parents also escaped in 1956. Most of our relatives are still in Hungary and we visit every few years.
