In Hungary, most people speak English. There are a lot of American expatriates there, so if you really need to find someone like you, you'll be able to. A lot of tourists go to Vacy Utca in Budapest, so you'll probably be able to find people there if you're really lonely. Of course, your exchange program should also provide a way for you to meet other exchange students.

In Poland majority of young people speak English. Older people (like around 40 years old) had learnt Russian instead of English in schools so you might have some problems when talking to them. As for social life it depends on the city.

In Hungary, many people speak English, you can perfectly live here without knowing Hungarian. Budapest is a quite touristic city so you will find english speakers everywhere. Restaurants usually have menus in English, there are cinemas that show movies in original language......etc . Some universities offer programs in English, so you will find lots of foreigner students. I talk about Budapest because I live here, and I am not Hungarian, but i can not tell you anything about Poland. Good luck!! Hope you choose Hungary, this is a great country!!!
