Magyar (the Hungarian language) fascinates me. I bought this CD and a few others from the region around six years ago in hopes of finding a way to familiarize myself with the sound of the language, but it was futile.The net result of my attempts to study the language is that I can say “one raspberry.” Magyar remains as bewilderingly inaccessible to me; it might as well be Martian.
