    I live very close to Debrecen, I live in a smaller town and I'm so glad that someone moved to Debrecen and not Budapest because I always see foreign people moving to Hungary but it's always Budapest. I think Debrecen was a good choice, because it's not too small but not too big either, and there's not as much traffic as for example in Budapest. Anyway I hope you'll enjoy life here, wishing the best of experiences to you!

    Welcome to Hungary, I hope you'll enjoy your stay here and will be happy :) Making friends with Hungarians takes some effort: Hungarians tend to have a protective shell that takes some time to crack open, but once you did, you have a friend for life.
    Budapest is kind of tense and jittery in my opinion, people are more kind and relaxed at the countryside. Big chunk of the sporiadic racism that you might experience is actually only the locals' "culture shock" and curiosity, as you might have noticed, meeting black people is not so usual here, especially not in the countryside - please give them a second chance :)
    And do not leave Hungary without visiting the beaches of Balaton in the summer, that'd be blasphemy :) I recommend the north shores, in and around Tihany.

    Hungarian is probably the hardest European language to learn. They were isolated for long periods in history.

    • @Ferruccio001
      @Ferruccio001 Před měsícem

      I don't think it's hard b/c Hungary was isolated which by the way was "only" 40 years of communism/iron curtain, but because the whole concept of the language is different from European languages. Vowel harmonisation is probably the most difficult and different feature of the language that even natives get wrong every now and then.
      One aspect of isolation, you might refer to, is the country's being landlocked. This didn't let the country being exposed to far away cultures, no colonies (Hungary itself was a colony of Austria), so the population was rather homogeneous and some people are still inconvenient about obvious and especially visually stunning differences.

      Depends on. In big cities and in touristy regions it's more common. But in other parts of Hungary it's less likely (and even in those less likely places it's mostly the younger generations who maybe but just maybe will know some english).
      I say this as a Hungarian.

    You combine a lot of things and don't follow any thread. Improvising is nice, but what do you want to say? Would it be a mood-photo? Well, you have to understand and know the Hungarian language, and then also the essence of Christian European culture, and not to hunt for appearances. Good luck and perseverance.

    Elnézést,hogy bele okoskodok de miért olyan fontos kiemelni a színt? Mi magyarok nem nácik vagyunk, hanem rasszisták. De ha megtanulod.hogy csak két rasszt ismerünk el másképp fogsz látni minket. A két rassz pedig a jó ember,meg a rossz ember. Ennyi. Nekünk teljesen mindegy,hogy piros-e a bőröd vagy kék,vagy zöld. A jó ember az jó ember.De ugyan ez igaz a rossz emberre is. Teljesen mindegy milyen színű,a rossz ember az rossz ember. De persze kivétel van bőven.Viszont ha elkerülöd a liberálnácikat az lényegesen lecsökkenti az atrocitás kehetőségét.

      I google translated your comment: "Excuse me for being clever, but why is it so important to highlight the color? We Hungarians are not Na*is, but racists. But if you learn that we recognize only two races, you will see us differently. The two races are good people and bad people. That's it. It doesn't matter to us whether your skin is red, blue or green. A good person is a good person. But the same is true for a bad person as well. It doesn't matter what color it is, a bad person is a bad person. But, of course, there are plenty of exceptions. However, if you avoid the liberal Na*is, it significantly reduces the possibility of atrocity. Then tell me a country where there are no idiots. I'm glad you're here, just be patient and a good person. The Hungarians will love you. I already love you a little." Is your leader a liberal Na*i?

      Well, let's not forget that in most cases what some people might label as "racism" are actually just that most Hungarians not really like foreigners in general. And i mean "not really like foreigners" as even if you live your whole life-time here in Hungary you will be still considered to be an outsider by most/majority of the locals.
