Something New (No 9)

After the success of German with Duolingo last year, I've started the Hungarian course, since we're planning on going to Budapest in the autumn.  It is not easy and I'm not convinced I'm learning much, but I shall keep going for the moment.  The simple exercise of hearing and seeing Hungarian for a few minutes every day will at least give a certain familiarity.

And on the note of being prepared to try new things, I've signed up for a day workshop in sketching at Nature in Art, which is where I made the Christmas wreath.  It's not until September - they run a selection of workshops throughout the year on different art forms.  It said it was open to everyone who wants to draw, so I thought I'd give it a go.

I admire you for taking up Hungarian! it is said to be one of the hardest languages to learn. A friend, who is Hungarian, once tried to explain some of the grammar peculiarities to me (and I'm really good friends with grammar), and... I don't think I understood anything :D
(or maybe he didn't know how to explain, of course))

anyhow, I wish you lots of success both with language learning and drawing!

I've only been doing it for four weeks, very slowly and it's already getting very confusing. At least with Duolingo there's a choice of words to select so I have some hope - but when you have to add one letter to a noun to make a plural plus another when it's also in the accusative and put the correct vowel in between the two, and that's just to say 'I see the apples' I can't see myself getting very far.
