1) The idea of learning Hungarian is a bit intimidating - how much of a problem is it to not be able to speak the language?

2) Are there any social groups where expat residents can meet up?

Many thanks for taking the time and trouble post a reply to my questions. I have certainly not found language to be a barrier during my visits to Budapest and am encouraged to hear that is your experience. My wife will certainly be interested to make contact with the group you mentioned as a way to meet people. Kind Regards, Andrew
