“If Hungarian was a drug, it would be magic mushrooms.”

Don’t mind me, just shamelessly plugging my mother tongue. In this video, an Irish and a British guy talk about studying it in Budapest. Good to know they appreciate it as a poetic challenge. :)

Although I’m a bit miffed that it’s taught at a school of Slavonic studies in London, it’s not a Slavic language, it is Uralic. Far more obscure, it’s almost like we are theĀ  linguistic hipsters of Eastern Europe… A famous relative of Hungarian is Finnish.
