Triple Force

I now have the book Colloquial Hungarian to go along with the lesson of the name on Memrise. Someone took the time to take the vocabulary from the book and add it all to create a Memrise course.

I am hoping that the book, the CD's and the Memrise course will start to move me along much faster than I have been.

I now know that I will be visiting friends in Szolnok and will see thier parents. The parents do not speak any English so I am hoping they will notice I have improved since our last visit.

Sziasztok!

Négy hónap!

Négy hónap = Magyarországon

Knowing the dates I will be back in Hungary I have a renewed sense of urgency to learning basic phrases. While I will continue with my online learning I feel it is necessary to purchase a phrasebook to practice from and also take along.

I am still trying to find someone local to meet with occasionally that I can speak with but haven't had any success. I will keep trying.

I still have time left today so I am off to study.

Sziasztok!

Száz nap!

While I have been working on my Hungarian for about a year. I did have a milestone today on www.memrise.com : száz nap! 100 days of using their services. Köszönöm!


Szia!

Tükröm, tükröm

Thanks to Kádár Mátyás , a twitterer I follow for his recent tweet: Tükröm, tükröm

I didn't have any idea as to what tükröm meant, but he had a link to a picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/124435995@N05/16476060632/ and it all made sense.

Figure out the meaning by looking at the picture?

Szia!

Több mint kilencven napon


Több mint kilencven napon.


I  am staying diligent with Memrise supplementing it with Let's Learn Hungarian, Interpals and books.





I am happy to say one thing I have started to do is have small questions or sentences pop into my mind and then work them into new sentences. Does this make sense?


Take the statement "Szeretnék két hétjegyet." I would like two seven day tickets. If you recall from an earlier post. I learned this sentence but was not able to use it. I have taken "Szeretnék két..." and worked it into new questions. "Szeretnék egy vízzel.- I would like a water" or "Szeretném kenyér - I would like bread." Doing this has brought words to the forefront of my thoughts and is helping me keep them in my vocabulary.

Any suggestions on other exercises?

Szia!

My first Keresztrejtvény






I found this crossword puzzle (keresztrejtvény) on a Facebook group I belong to. I am going to try to find more visual ones like this. It forced me to put in the two that I knew and look up the rest. Give it a try, but watch out for #2.

Szia!
