What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Debrecen often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Hungarian is a unique and complex language that is difficult to learn, especially for English speakers. Another challenge is the reserved nature of the locals. Hungarians, especially in Debrecen, are known to be somewhat introverted and private, which can make it difficult for expats to form connections and friendships. Understanding and adapting to local customs and traditions can also be challenging. For instance, Hungarians have specific etiquette rules for dining and socializing that may be unfamiliar to foreigners. The slower pace of life in Debrecen can also be a challenge for expats who are used to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. This can be particularly difficult for those who are used to living in larger, more cosmopolitan cities. Finally, while Hungary is part of the European Union, it still maintains its own currency, the Forint. This can make financial transactions and understanding the cost of living more difficult for expats," remarked another expat who made the move to Debrecen, Hungary.
