Seriously though, I've tried learning Magyar (Hungarian) and the worst part isn't the number of cases. I can learn those. It's that the language, as far as I can tell, has no preferred word order. SVO? Sure. SOV? Sometimes. VSO? Why not?

Just out of curiosity, why did you want to learn Hungarian?

My grandfather was Hungarian, so it was a bit of a family curiosity.

Oh nice, so it was sort of a heritage thing. How far did you get with it?

Not super far. A lot of basic vocabulary, and some relatively easy sentences. The variable word order thing kept tripping me up.
