the things i remember struggling with were getting the stress right and hyperforeignisms (that is, concentrating so hard on getting the difficult "w" and "th" sounds that i would pronounce "v" as "w" and "s" as "th" by accident. i was once asked if my native language had a "v", because that was the one i seemed to be struggling with)

yeah, 16 hours of daylight during summer means even more time for the daystar to hammer us with its heat. and the flipside is 8 hours of sunlight during the winter and it getting dark by 4pm.
but those long, bright summer evenings are nice when it's not 2138219219 degrees.
translation of names can get pretty arbitrary. eg, which "new"-s would you translate among these: new york, new zealand, new hampshire, newfoundland?
based on what i remember, NJ (and NYC) had weather pretty similar to budapest. now, i've never been to berlin but i cant imagine it's that different from budapest, just a bit colder.
so yeah, their weather is weird :)
Two things can be bad at the same time sweaty, that's why we have to support America and balkanize russia
