I don’t like translating back and forth between Hungarian and English while I’m learning something. If I learn something new in English, then I’m going to know it in English only. This is true for all the hobbies I’ve picked up abroad, not just music. I learned sailing in English, and I have no idea what most of that stuff is called in Hungarian, so I can only sail in English. Same with working out: I only started being a gym goer a couple of years ago, and have no idea what most of the equipment or workouts are called in Hungarian.
The only part that I’m a bit conflicted about is that I even count the beats and spell the notes in English. This is ok when I am communicating with a teacher, or just counting along with Josh in a lesson, but I even do it when I’m on my own, and then it feels a bit awkward and pretentious. Sometimes I try to do it in Hungarian, but unfortunately I’ve done it so much in English that it just feels easier in English. Translating things just distracts me, and that’s not good in the middle of a song.
