Accept it. You're not going to learn Hungarian before you get to Budapest. It's not like nearly every other language in Europe, where speaking one helps with another. You know what I mean. Knowing French helps with the rudiementary basics of other Romance languages; similarly German helps with Dutch or Russian with Polish and other Slavic languages. Well, Hungarian is a completely different beast. Fortunately, most Hungarians seem to recognize that and are happy to chat in English or German. Throw in a few key phrases like kerem for please and koszonom (pronounced more or less Ker-sher-nom) for thank you, and they'll give you a thumbs-up. Just like Alejandro here.
