A year ago, I started what’s turned out to be the most difficult language I’ve ever tackled — I embarked on the journey of learning Hungarian, my sixth foreign language.
From day one, I knew it would be the most challenging one yet. In fact, it might even be more difficult than Arabic.
Still, I was determined to learn it as quickly as possible.
There were weeks, even months, when I paused. But something kept pulling me back — the beauty of the language, the challenge, the dream of one day speaking it fluently.
Now, almost every day, I push myself to dive deep into this beautiful, complex, and captivating language.
My goal? To make Hungarian my third fluent foreign language, after English and German.
Sure, I’ve explored others — Turkish, Spanish, Arabic — but they stayed at A1–A2 levels. Hungarian feels different. It’s not just a language — it’s a new life!
Maybe Hungarian will become not just my sixth language… but my fifth fluent one, if I include my native tongues (Russian and Ukrainian).
By the end of this summer, I hope to pass the B1 exam — and I’m getting closer every day.
And this journey reminds me of one powerful truth: If you want to master a language, you have to practice it every single day.
Even just 5, 10, or 15 minutes at a time.
What’s the hardest language you’ve ever tried to learn?
