Welcome to my userpage!

My nick is pronounced ˈfɛrikɛ, but you can simply call me Feri ˈfɛri. I live next to the capital of Hungary, Budapest. Thus I'm a native Hungarian. I also speak English and German. My English knowledge is somewhat advanced. My German is between intermediate and advanced, so I plan to take the Oberstufe this fall. Furthermore I started learning French in 2008 and I speak some Russian, too. But I don't really know these two languages, yet. I like English and German the most, but I'm also interested in any other languages. You can also find me under the same username on the Hungarian, German Wiktionaries and the Hungarian and English Wikipedias, but I spend here the most of my time. If you have any questions, feel free to write me. If you discover any mistake I made, please correct it, if you're unsure, let's work it out together. All the best, User:Ferike333
