Today was the first day of the language course. They really aren't kidding when they say "intensive." I can safely say that I have never felt so dumb in my life. I seem to have this problem where teachers like to call on me repeatedly and have me speak up.Today was no different.
Dear Teacher:
It is quite obvious that I don't know what you're saying to me and that my pronunciations are terrible. Please call on the smart dude to my left as he is so obviously ready to answer anything you desire.

There was literally a point in class today where I almost cried. I thought to myself, "If this were a class at Longwood and I didn't need it, I would walk out right now, drop the class, and move on with my life." (I have NEVER thought this before and, believe me, I've had some awful classes.)
And I'm not so completely bad with languages either. Spanish and I are bff. I guess that makes Hungarian the snobby, country-music loving cheerleader that I had to be friends with, for a time, in high school for the good of the squad.
Oh cousin, just to inform you, Hungarian and Finnish are in the same language family and with that being said, I do know that Finnish is one of the most difficult languages to learn because it has a highly agglutinative morphology so I will go ahead and say Hungarian more than likely is as well. This is the one point in our lives I could be of use to you : ) If you need help with pronunciation, I can definitely help you with this because I can use the international phonetic alphabet. Love you!
