My goal is to spend several months in Europe during 2014. But because of Schengen regulations, I can only spend 90 days in Hungary. I am thinking of travelling to the Hungarian-speaking area of Romania, perhaps Targu Mures, getting a sublet for a couple of months and finding people to speak Hungarian with, possibly exchanging my knowledge of English (I taught in Hungary for a while) and German (earlier stint as a college professor in the US) for help with Hungarian. Then, with a couple of months of Hungarian immersion under my belt, I will go to Hungary where I have acquaintances and friends.
I have a rudimentary knowledge of Hungarian, have no Romanian (but know French and Spanish).
I would appreciate any suggestions, encouragements or warnings.
