How to reach intermediate level without taking classes?

Hello everyone!

I'm writing to ask if anyone has any recommendations for learning Hungarian from essentially 0 (apart from a few random phrases and words) to an intermediate level (around high B1 maybe B2), I'm open to youtube videos/online courses/apps etc.

My mother's side of the family is Hungarian, and many of them do not share any languages with me, so I would really like to make the effort to learn Hungarian. My aim isn't really to become totally fluent, but I'd like to be able to comfortably have simple conversations, discuss the events of my life, talk about family etc. So nothing super complicated, I'm not aiming for crazy intellectual discussions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Köszönöm!

Edit: I'm planning to get speaking practice/some feedback with my mother (B2 level) and my bestfriend and grandmother (both native)

Ways to deal with or harness (?) difficult dreams?

Hello everyone! I'm very new to witchcraft, and looking for for some advice on how to deal with my dreams (and if using witchcraft is even a good idea.)

Ever since I was about 3 I've had very intense dreams. Until I was about 6 I suffered from 2 repeating nightmares (one of these I'm not really sure I can call a nightmare since I was always at least partially awake and would 'see' the dream around me). These eventually subsided and and were replaced with very vivid and occasionally lucid dreams. Then from about my early/mid teens until now I've had long periods of having apocalyptic dreams. These range from floods/having to escape somewhere dangerous/attacks of fire/surviving the wilderness/having to save people. To give an example of a slightly darker one I had a few months ago: The whole dream I had a deep sense of fear and panic, and I understood that a mysterious 'someone' was hunting me. The dream ended when I saw myself from above torn apart on a bed, and a man wearing the head of a bear and carrying a spear was sitting on the floor at end of the bed (couldn't really say if this was the figure who was supposed to have killed me). I thought maybe the dreams were caused by a long period of illness, but they actually went away when I was at my worst and have returned now that I'm much better!

The reasons I would like advice on how to control them is because I absolutely believe in the power of dreams, both in the occult way as well as them effecting how rested I feel during the day, repeating peril dreams are quite draining.

** I also think it's important to add that this seems to be a maternal trait. Both my mother and grandmother had the same experience, with the dreams fading off into their 30's, though neither of my siblings have this. There is also a maternal history of 'visions' and predictions of events - for example knowing a house was going to burn down a week before it did. To give a personal example - when I was around 9 I looked at a classmates mother, who I had never really met, and got the strongest feeling that she would die despite having no known health issues. Three weeks later she had a stroke not far from where I'd seen her and she eventually died in Hospital. Of course, I know lots of people don't believe in this kind of thing, but I thought it was important to mention anyway.

Also just to quickly say that I also have the occasional very nice dream, it's not all doom and gloom. One of them was so beautiful it was almost life changing!
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Why do I feel worse mentally ?

It's been a month since my terminal ileum resection which all went well, and 2 months since my diagnosis, but I just feel so upset. This whole thing ment I missed nearly all of my last year of highschool. The closest friend to me now lives almost 3 hours away. I missed final exams so can't go to university next year. I can't even travel or do something exciting with my life because I have to study for these stupid exams. I hate that my appetite is back because I don't want to gain weight even though I know it's wrong to feel that way. I was always a straight A+ student but don't have the motivation to even open my textbooks now. I hate that for 6+ years I knew there was something wrong but doctors didn't take me seriously. I wan't to do sports and be strong but it just feels impossible. I don't want to have to inject myself every fortnight for the rest of my life. I have so much privilege and am so grateful but also so angry.

Advice for first bowel resection?

Hello everyone. I'm 18 and was diagnosed with Crohn's about a month ago in my terminal ileum.

I will be getting about 20cm of that area removed next week, with a laparoscopic resection, and I wondered if anyone has any specific tips to make the whole thing more bearable? Anything specific I should bring to the hospital or things I should keep in mind during recovery?

Also what was the recovery time like? My Highschool graduation is exactly 2 weeks after the surgery, how likely is it i'll be able to attend?

Feeling kinda shit about the whole thing but just grateful to have good doctors.

Thank you for any advice!
