He's trying really hard, but it's like nails on a chalkboard listening to him. It's worse than a bad computer text-to-speech converter.
Hungarian is one of those languages where it is shockingly difficult to learn to a level where you're intelligible at all, and learning to be fluent as an adult is borderline impossible. I've never met a person who has managed it.
For comparison, I once came across some Dutch primary school teachers on holiday that were more fluent in English than most native speakers that I know. They had a bigger vocabulary and used more complex sentence structures than I was used to from the typical locals. They had a mild, barely detectable accent.
My sister became fluent in less than a year I'd say (living in Hungary, Hungarian boyfriend, worked hard at it and super-good at languages generally). I don't know what her accent is like but she definitely has no problem being understood by Hungarians - she has since lived in Budapest for a decade and came top of her year in her Masters degree in translation there which involved lots of translation into Hungarian (including things like poetry!). So possible if difficult!
I don't think it's possible to be more fluent then a native speaker. You can sound more educated, or elite, or have better verbal skills or otherwise have a "gift of the gab", but a language is defined by the native speakers (except in special cases like Continental English or Esperanto).
One mark of high-level fluency is being able to casually confuse "less" and "few" and say things like "more better" just like a native English speaker does.

Not all languages are equal!
