Learning Hungarian isn't as difficult as is commonly believed.
Of course, it isn't an Indo-European language (like Farsi, Sanskrit, Spanish, English, or Old Icelandic), and it's agglutinative rather than analytic - so you won't have more difficulty than learning, say, Mongolian, Japanese, or Navaho.
Good luck!

Just don’t use the wrong Hungarian-English phrase book.
Yes, that’s what I have heard. 😀
Still, I thought the most difficult feature of the Hungarian language is to get the vowel length right in spoken Hungarian, though this obviously isn’t the case when you see it written down.
Oh yes, and the old linguist in me awakens when I hear of the old distinction between the agglutinating, the analytic and the synthetic languages 😋
I know that the Turkish language agglutinates, too. That’s why, in the 19th century, some linguists thought that Turkish and Hungarian were somehow related…
