Anyone who would like to learn Japanese without sweating too much, might want to try this site.
It's free, run by Japanese people.
A sample.

Many texts are recorded in Japanese and translated into English.
Japanese texts: normal (kanji + kana) and spaced kana only.
Have a look. And don't forget that you have ears too. (If you're deaf - bad luck.)

Someone made a huge list of resources in the form of a google sheet:

This should probably be added to the OP somewhere, especially since the author of the post said they were going to update it

So Hungarian don`t belong to any group of languages? I have a friend in Hungary. We speak English but I was thinking about learning her mother tongue

Technically it does belong to the Uralic language family, however the only other member of that family in our list is Finnish, I will edit the list later to group them, although very few people know of the Uralic language family, or would know that Hungarian and Finnish belong to it.

I`d never know

Thank you for the answer. I think I should learn more about it
