She sounds like a high maintenance, spoiled princess.
If that is your biggest problem, you are the luckiest girl in Hungary.

You mean there are Hungarians who have to use a foreign language in more than one location in Hungary?

She didn't say it was her biggest problem - she just said she expected people living in Hungary to speak Hungarian. Similarly, I expect people living in the US to speak comprehensible English, though increasingly they don't.

Well, Magyar is fiendishly difficult. I knew French and German before learning polski and it still was very difficult, yet I couldn’t find any linkages in Magyar. Completely alien.

So this lass would be right to be unhappy that people in a cafe in Budapest don’t speak Magyar

This is how the problem starts.

I remember "English Only" was a political issue in the 1980s. Republican California U.S. Senator Hayakawa founded U.S. English in 1983.

In 1986, California passed Prop 63, amending the state Constitution to make English the official language of California. The state Supreme Court upheld it, but removed its teeth.

It ruled that though it was okay to make it the "official" language, it couldn't be enforced in any way. State documents, election ballots, classrooms, etc. could still be multilingual. Often, they had to be.

Today, "English Only" as a political issue is dead. Instead, we're told that English is "white supremacy" and we should celebrate the diversity of languages in the U.S. Which contributes to the fragmentation and destruction of America.

Diveristy is NOT our Strength.
