What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Kecskemet 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 Hungarian people. They are generally polite and helpful, but it may take time to form close relationships as they tend to be private and not overly expressive. Understanding and adapting to local customs and traditions can also be a challenge. For instance, Hungarians have specific etiquette for dining and social events, which might be unfamiliar to expats. The bureaucracy in Hungary can also be a challenge for expats. Dealing with paperwork and official procedures can be time-consuming and complicated, especially if one does not speak Hungarian. Lastly, while Hungary is part of the European Union, it still maintains its own currency, the Forint. This can make financial matters, such as banking and understanding prices, a bit more challenging for expats," said another expat in Kecskemet, Hungary.
