the Holy Grail of pronunciation

everyone learns languages differently.
a teacher can show you the way, but you can't escape the fact that it's you who has to go through it.
for the greatest part of my student life, school teachers taught me English, Spanish, and French starting from gramatic rules. to be more precise: grammar, grammar, grammar, and even in my linguistic high school (that's to say, we were kinda the lucky ones) just two hours of conversation per week.
i loved languages. but i discovered my own way to learn them quickly when i had a full immersion in them.
when i became a foreign student for a year (personally, i do not consider the so called "language holydays" of 2 weeks for middle class students as a full immersion at all), i had to talk in Spanish, and study and expose in English.
that's when my own way came to me, day after day.
i learn languages listening to their inner music.
every idiom has its own rhythm. and when i  listened carefully, i found out that the pronunciation had a particular cadence, and one day i just caught it. it happened to me first with Spanish, most probably because Italian language has a more similar structure to Spanish than it has with English.
i started believing that speaking has something to do with singing on this aspect. you may know lexic wonderfully, but the language hasn't to be thought too much while spoken. when i got the pace, i didn't have to think it through anymore.

i've been living in Hungary for a month now. i tried to read the signs of the shops while walking down the streets, to listen to people while doing my grocery shopping at the supermarket, to read the last chapter of my Lonely Planet, and even to repeat over and over again the name of the Metro stops after the recorded automatic voice pronounced them.
Hungarian is an European language spoken just by... well, Hungarians.
some people say that it belongs to the Finno-Ugric language family, together with Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish. some other people say that it belongs to an ancient Mongol language family, with deep influences of Turk language after Ottoman domination.
the truth is that nobody knows it for sure. what we know is that Hungarian is the language of Magyar population, that at some point in history decided to remain here in the Carpatic Basin. since then, Hungarian community history tells us that Hungary was mostly protecting itself from military as well as cultural invasions of all sorts. this people has some kind of persecution mania about being absorbed by neighbour reigns.
what happens to me to think is that from the linguistic point of view they tried hard to maintain their peculiarities instead to include terminology from foreign idioms. they protected Hungarian so hard that today is universally considered a very complicated language to learn.

today i had my second Hungarian lesson.
we're still talking about stuff like the days of the week, the name of the months, the numbers, the nationalities, the professions... all very important lexic to learn for sure. but i'm still trying to listen and catch the inner rhythm of Hungarian, and i know that even tough it will be hard to figure out, one of these days i'll catch the Holy Grail of Hungarian pronunciation.
