As "good enough" is always relative, I guess it is up to native US people to compare US living standards to those here, but I may point out that there have been many such questions in this forum, I also replied extensively to some around ... Read More

Don't make the mistake of thinking it's cheaper here - it's generally not cheaper than other countries in Europe. Easier countries might be the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Malta, Cyprus - all of these speak English. Malta and Cyprus also ... Read More

For most Europeans, Hungarian is probably more difficult than Russian, apart from the script. Russian is an indoeuropean language, e.g. you have the classic preposition+case system well known from latin (English has lost most cases, but still has ... Read More
