I like Hungarian's overall sound, vowel harmony, some awesome words (mainly front vowel words like
szeretett,
nemesen,
egészségedre), and the suffixes. I like being able to drop pronouns and the word "is" in many cases - it feels very natural. Being an English speaker, I'm glad that the pronunciation can almost always be determined from the spelling, and that there are fewer vowel sounds than in English. Verb particles are usually pretty logical too (and often have a corresponding English phrasal verb), which is nice.
However, I find it pretty difficult (there are quite a lot of grammatical cases and different verb conjugations), and when I pronounce some words like "sincs" there is far too much of the "sh" sound. I find it annoying how the Hungarian keyboard switches z and y. I'm also not entirely sure Hungarian food would suit me :)
