Speaking in Tongues
Whether you're planning a visit to Hungary or live here full time, you probably know or have heard of the challenges of speaking the Hungarian language. Some even say it's more difficult than speaking Chinese.
To give you a hand, we here at Budacast offer you the first episode of the Language Learner. Our language expert is Katalin Sándor who has been a professional translator and interpreter for almost two decades.
Kati's top 5 words/expressions for surviving on your trip to Hungary:
1. Hi! = Szia!
2. station = állomás
3. chicken = csirke
4. beer = sör
5. there is/there isn't = van/nincs

Poor Kati...she tries to sound so "native" (or British) that it destroys what she tries to communicate...she is struggling so much...rather artificial...I had to stop listening to the broadcast bacause she is so annoying...
