1. Ez egy szép nyelv! "It's a beautiful language!"
That's true, Hungarian is a beautiful language.
2. magyar barátokkal beszélget "to chat with Hungarian friends"
Sokkal érdekesebb a magyar nyelvet használni ha magyar barátokkal beszélgetsz. "It's much more interesting to use the Hungarian language when you chat with Hungarian friends."
3. fordításokat csinál "to do translations"

4. filmeket néz felirat nélkül "to watch movies without subtitles"
Ha elég jól tudsz magyarul, akkor a magyar filmeket felirat nélkül nézheted. "If you know Hungarian well enough, then you can watch Hungarian movies without subtitles."
5. Magyarországon él "to live in Hungary"

7. megérti a dalszöveget "to understand song lyrics"
Megértetted ezt a dalszöveget? "Do you understand this song's lyrics?"
Hungarian song, sometimes they have some fun lyrics, and sometimes you can learn some contemporary slang from it. And what I really like about Hungarian song or poems, in general, is that the vocabulary of Hungarian language is really rich and colorful, and we can express various things just in various ways and I think it's very fun. I like playing with words, so if you're able to understand Hungarian lyrics, then I think you've reached a pretty good level in Hungarian. And please try to aim for that because it's really really fun.

A barátnőm minden erejét a magyar tanulásba vetette, hogy a magyar rokonokkal tudjon telefonon beszélni. "My friend gave all her energy to learning Hungarian so that she could speak with her Hungarian relatives on the phone."
