Episode 62

Hey there! This is Part 5 of the Icipici Series about Getting Started with Hungarian. Wowee guys, this is Episode 62. I can hardly believe it! Have you checked out our earlier episodes? We cover a lot of ground!

So, if you are new to the podcast, you have some catching up to do. Since this is Part 5 of Getting Started with Hungarian, be sure to listen to Episodes 58, 59, 60, and 61. They are short and sweet – that is where we get the name icipici from – and they will get you thinking and all caught up in this Icipici series.

For the next several episodes, I will be talking with one of my Hungarian instructors, Anna Hamp. If you have been listening to the podcast, you might recognize her voice from the YouTube video I recommended last episode titled Learning the Hungarian Alphabet which is posted on the Hungarian Living YouTube Channel. Or if you have been listening to the Hungarian Living podcast for a while now you might recognize her from way back in Episode 17 where we talk about our Hungarian Dialogue Sessions. By the way, if you want to practice speaking Hungarian, we are offering these dialogue sessions again — starting early in September,  so contact me right away if you want to jump in on the fun! We don’t offer them all the time. If you want to become more familiar with Hungarian, you need to speak it. You have to keep practicing.

We are in the middle of a our icipici series about Getting Started in Hungarian. So far I have talked about how important it is to know your WHY because it will help keep one motivated as they are learning something new, like Hungarian. But I also covered how knowing a bit about one’s learning style helps the process. And we have covered the importance of knowing the correct pronunciation of the Hungarian alphabet.

And now we are here!

So, let’s talk about a couple of important pronunciation tips.

stress always on the first syllable

pronouncing every syllable and sound

lengthen double the length of the double letters

And if you have questions about how we do things in our language classes, send me a message at [email protected] we are starting new classes soon and would love to have you join us.

Episode 61

Hey there! This is Part 4 of the icipici edition of the Hungarian Living podcast on Getting Started with Hungarian.

So, let me tell you, I have ALL KINDS of resources for learning Hungarian in my office. I have some oldies, like Irka Firka. I have curriculums from Debrecen and Pecs, I have a book and audio recordings from the Foreign Service Institute, and Pimsleur. Did I mention Complete Hungarian? Teach Yourself Hungarian? Hungarian the Easy Way? Hahahaha! Ok — That title cracks me up! Is there an easy way to Hungarian as an adult???  But really it isn’t a bad resource. I just think it is a funny title.

I have resources by Berlitz and Hippocrene and even some brainiac games for various ages. And, I have to mention Say it in Hungarian, Just Enough Hungarian the Hungarian Picture Dictionary, The Hungarian Bible for Children and countless dictionaries of all sizes. Cassette tapes? Cds? Mp3 files? Online links to programs? I’ve got em!

So, let me just say that having resources is not my problem. I inherited about 75 % of the resources I have from my mom and the rest I have collected over the last 15 years or so. My mom knew how to speak, read, and write in Hungarian. She was an educator. And we caught a lot of Hungarian through the years, but she knew that it takes a special skill and/or training and a lot of patience to fully teach the Hungarian language. She also knew there were so many people struggling to learn it. She knew people could speak it but not know how to read and write it. And I have all sorts of projects she was collecting and working on as she was trying to figure out how to help solve the problem.

Just because someone can speak and read and write in Hungarian doesn’t mean they can teach it. For example, I speak English pretty well. But I am absolutely not an English teacher. In fact, I have learned a lot about the English language from my Hungarian instructors. Let’s just say, English grammar wasn’t my jam. There is something special about a person who understands and can explain things at my level. Not every trained teacher is a good one. And you don’t have to be a trained teacher to be an effective one.

So back to resources — I have enough resources. Having a few different ones is helpful because not every resource covers everything. Sometimes there is a concept that needs to be approached from a couple of different perspectives. There is no one curriculum or resource that does it all. And, just to clear the air up about a rumor – Rosetta Stone does not offer Hungarian.

In addition to a few resources, I, personally, need two things. I need accountability. I need that steady appointment with another person. I need that commitment to connect with another person. I benefit from assignments, although I must confess, I don’t always do them. And even though I am most often a visual learner, I need the Hungarian language in my ear in addition to being able to see the words and play with the letters. But, I also need a little skin in the game. It is worth it to me to pay out a little money because I know I will show up, even if I am not in the mood. And, a laborer is worthy of his hire. If someone is going to take time out of their day for me, I need to be there and not waste their precious time. And, I should be willing to pay them for their time.

What resources do you have hanging around. Drag them out and dust them off. How can they be useful to you in your desire to study Hungarian?  I know they can be useful. You just need to use them! But don’t discount that regular, weekly appointment with a small group as a part of your plan. The accountability and friendship might be just what you need to get motivated!

And, if you need some resources, we have a few. HERE IS THE LINK FOR RESOURCES

Our small group online classes are starting soon. HERE IS THE LINK TO CLASSES

Thanks for thinking through all this and laughing along with my resource list. I know you laughed. It’s ok. It makes me laugh, too!

Episode 60

Hey there! This is Part 3 of the icipici edition of the Hungarian Living podcast on Getting Started with Hungarian.

Last episode we discussed several things to think about as you are considering studying Hungarian. But, don’t get frozen into a state of inaction by all of these options. It’s important to know your why – what motivates you. And it is important to know some things about how you might like to learn, how often you like to engage with the language. Also, when can you study? That helps you decide if you will fit into a class. If you are really sharp at 3am, it might be hard to find a study buddy or class.

The most important thing is to start somewhere knowing you might start and need to switch to a different method. You have to find the mix that works for you and your learning style. But start. Start with the alphabet. You can’t go wrong learning it because you need to know it! And even if you think you know it, you could probably use a little refresher.

So, let’s talk a little about the Hungarian alphabet. It is a bit unusual, but it is pretty predictable, once you understand how it works! There is a link to our Hungarian alphabet project in the show notes. It is so important to really know the alphabet letters and the sounds. There are 44 letters are in the Hungarian alphabet and they each make a unique sound. In English we have 26 letters and we have many more sounds than that. So, you can get excited because each letter in Hungarian has a specific sound and it says its specific sound each and every time. There are no silent letters. Phew! Isn’t that is a relief?

This alphabet resource is more than just isolated sounds. There are words associated with it and letters that are in typical combinations. So, lest you think you have this all perfect, well, unless you have a lot of experience with the language, you likely don’t so I bet you might benefit from a little review. And there is some vocabulary that you might not know. So check out our Hungarian Living You Tube Channel, subscribe, and look for Learning the Hungarian Alphabet – it is right there on the front page. And have a little fun getting to know or refreshing and refining your Hungarian.

Next time, I’ll talk about some of the language learning resources I have tried. And you can tell me which ones you have benefitted from!

If you are interested in learning Hungarian, it might be because you have Hungarian heritage. If you do, you might want to take a listen to our Icipici series on Getting Started with Genealogy. Grab a notebook and check out Episodes 50-57 of The Hungarian Living Podcast!

Hungarian Living Podcast — Discover, celebrate, and share your Hungarian heritage!

Episode 59

Szia! This is Part 2 of the icipici edition of the Hungarian Living podcast on Getting Started with Hungarian.

Last episode, I asked all sorts of questions about why you might want to learn Hungarian. It is important for you to think about your motivation because that is what will keep you going when things get difficult because things WILL get difficult. I promise you. Learning Hungarian isn’t easy but I find it fun, challenging, and rewarding. I always circle back to my WHY. It helps me stay the course.

My parents spoke Hungarian fluently and could also read and write in Hungarian. I have mentioned before that my great grandparents all came to the US between about 1880 and 1927 Most of my grandparents were born in Hungary and came over as children. so Hungarian was their first language. And they met and married their spouses and continued to teach their children Hungarian even though I don’t know that anyone was planning on going back to Hungary. And so my parents kind of continued that but, if you have heard my story, you know that I was the third child born in the family. And I think there were other things that were more of a pressing for my family.

But back to you thinking about your study of Hungarian.

The next thing you want to consider if you want to study Hungarian is HOW, HOW OFTEN, and WHEN. Think about the time you have available to devote to the project. Can you spare a couple of hours a week? Or do you have time for this to be a full time job? And, of course, how much money is available to you for this endeavor?

You can cobble together some free things to study, but it will take you some effort. You will have to spend the time figuring out if you like the format and if it is helping you achieve your goals. If you have more time than money, this is the way to go.

There are apps for your smartphone.

There are some instructional resources out there that are free.

You can listen to music with lyrics on YouTube.

If you have a little money for the project, you might want to spend some on small group lessons either in person or online, and then add the “freebies” to round out your approach. For example, some of the participants in our small group lessons meet an additional time each week as a study group. It doesn’t cost more money because they are meeting together to work on the homework from class without their instructor. They share resources. And the one who understands the concept best can explain it if someone is confused. Of course, they know they can always talk to their instructor, too. It’s just an extra point of connecting with the language. And they might participate in our Hungarian Dialogue Sessions or Hungarian Language Clinic or use one of the many apps for studying Hungarian. It might take a little bit of exploring to find your most useful combination.

If you have a lot of money and you are available 15-40 hours a week, you might want to take a deep dive into an intensive online or in person class. As I mentioned before, I spent a month at the DNE but they have some language schools in Budapest and one in Pecs and probably in Szeged, as well. In fact, you can take a year off and study Hungarian for real either in Hungary or from the comfort of your own home. But, be sure to have some ibuprofen along with you. It was hard work  for me to be engrossed in the language every day for 6+ hours. It’s intense.

I have done a deep dive in Debrecen at the Debreceni Nyari Egyetem for a month and I have also piddled around here and there over the last 15+ years. I have tried a lot of the free apps but, honestly, I always have questions because I don’t always understand everything. I look for patterns. Sometimes I see them, and they aren’t really there. I have certainly made the most progress with my language skills in the last two years by regularly engaging with the language. I spend about 8 hours a week in class or working on a language app that has its pluses and minuses but still is something. It’s a hodge podge of things and I will get into more detail in the upcoming episodes. But, I want to warn you that I still get nervous trying to say what I want to say in Hungarian. I can listen and understand a bit. But when I go to speak, it’s like my tongue is tied. I think it is my personality because I am definitely like that if I ever have to speak on a stage in front of a group of 20 or more people –even in English, where I am quite confident. Thankfully, those moments are extremely rare. I don’t have to take the stage. But the same feeling of incredible nervousness overtakes me when I try to speak a sentence in Hungarian. I stumble and stutter and my mind goes blank. This is especially true if I have to answer quickly. But I hear that this problem means that I am rounding the final stages of communicating in another language.

Whatever you do, keep in mind, it is important to practice the language with others. Taking classes one hour a week will not make you fluent in a year. Be realistic. Hungarian is fun and logical and interesting. But it will take some consistent effort on your part. I say put as much Hungarian into your ears, eyes, and mouth as you can:

So think about it: Are you a visual or auditory learner? you like to just work on your own or do you like knowing there are others out there, working through the same material? Is it important for you to have an accountability partner? Do you like to work through a textbook? Or would you like to use videos and some apps.

There are so many possible combinations that it’s ok to stop for a minute and think about what you know about yourself, what you already know about Hungarian, and how you best learn. Combine these thoughts with the thoughts I shared in the first episode of this Getting Started in Hungarian and you will have a solid foundation for moving forward.

We’ll get to some practical resources next time. In the meantime, if you have questions about how we do things in our language classes, send me a message at [email protected] we are starting new classes soon and would love to have you join us.

Episode 58

Hello hello! It’s another icipici edition of the Hungarian Living podcast. This time we are focusing on learning Hungarian! Even if you are currently studying Hungarian, we will cover some interesting material, so stick around!

Hungarian is such an interesting language. I grew up hearing it around all around me in church, when my mom was on the phone, at Hungarian events, when people stopped over to visit, and events where there were other Hungarian speakers.

In preparation for a semester long trip to Hungary in 1973, I went to Hungarian summer school in Ligonier, Pennsylvania at the Bethlen Home. I have bumped into a number of people through the years who attended this very same program, but not during the summer of 1973. I wonder how many years they had this summer program.

Anyway, I have been around Hungarian all my life but was never forced to speak it fluently. It makes perfect sense. While they were both very active with the language, and knew how to speak, read, and write in Hungarian, they knew that just because one knows how to speak or speak read and write in Hungarian it doesn’t mean that they know how to teach it. I think they knew their limits and this was just not where they chose to put their energy. Even though I am currently studying Hungarian, I support their decision!

I never thought anything unusual about Hungarian being such a part of my life. It just was just there in the music, in the little songs we sang, in the conversations, in the names of the foods we ate, in the prayer we said together at Sunday lunch, and in the books around the house.

I have the sounds of Hungarian in my brain and over the last 15 years or so I been intentional about learning more.

In this series of Icipici podcasts, I am going to give you some simple ways to get started or refine your Hungarian language journey! There are so many resources out there and it is difficult to wade through what is most helpful. To start this series, let’s think about your goals for learning Hungarian.

Grab a notebook, start a document on your computer, and answer the following question:

Why do you want to learn Hungarian?

I am going to list a variety of scenarios. You might find that you have several reasons. Knowing your reasons will help you stay motivated!

Do you want to be able to decipher genealogy records or correspondence from relatives that are in your stash of goodies?

Do you want to communicate with relatives that only speak Hungarian?

Are you looking to keep your brain sharp?

Would it be helpful in the work you do?

Do you have memories of Hungarian being spoken around the table and you trying to figure out what was being said?

Do you know some little songs or rhymes your grandparent said and you want to know what they were about?

Do you plan to travel to Hungary, and you just want to know a few phrases so you can be polite?

Do you want to honor your parents or grandparents by exploring the language?

Do you want to pass the language portion of your dual citizenship test?

Are you comfortable speaking the language but, essentially illiterate and want to know how to read and write and understand the finer points of grammar and vocabulary?

Have you adopted someone who speaks Hungarian, and you want to connect with them more deeply through language?

Or do you have a thing for logical languages? Because, really, you don’t have to have Hungarian heritage to study Hungarian!

I have mentioned a lot of great reasons to study Hungarian, but I am sure there are more! What are your reasons? I would love to know. You can send an email to [email protected] and tell me why you are interested in learning Hungarian.

And if you are interested learning Hungarian, you are in luck because we are starting language lessons again! We have over 100 students learning Hungarian in small groups that meet for one hour at a variety of times during a week and at a variety of levels. Classes will start up again in August and will run for 14 weeks. Our students range in age from 25-80+ and, truly, that is a part of the fun! There is more information at The Hungarian Store But hurry! Classes are starting soon!

Hungarian Living Podcast — Discover, celebrate, and share your Hungarian heritage!

Episode 56

Hello hello! It’s another icipici edition of the Hungarian Living podcast. If you are just tuning in for the first time, let me to encourage you to go back a few episodes to the first one in this series.

Hey there! This is Part 7 of the icipici series of the Hungarian Living podcast on Getting Started with Genealogy. If you have been working through this process with me, you have written down a few answers to some standard questions. But, the process has likely opened up a new world of other questions you have. As you look through the information you have gathered, do you notice where you might need to dig a little further? Do you know who might have additional information? Have you noticed a pattern of names in your family? If you are from a Hungarian family background, like me, you may notice that there are Hungarian names all along your family line. Then you might notice there are Hungarian nicknames or Americanized versions of names. Sometimes there are spelling changes. It’s all these things that can lead to some challenges in genealogy research.

In our family, our first names are all Americanized versions of a Hungarian name. And then we almost all have Hungarian middle names. My older brother grew up with a strong Hungarian nickname. His name is Charles but that is the English version of Karoly. And a Hungarian nickname that comes from Karoly is Karcsi. The cousins that are his age still refer to him as Karcsi and they have for 60+ years. It always throws me off because, by the time I (eight years younger) have any great recollection of his name, I think it was Charles or Chaz. And since he has been married, it seems that his name is Chuck. I, too, have had a lot of variations of Elizabeth. I guess this all goes to show that as names change over time –  for many reasons – it might make it a little difficult to find or keep track of your people.

Why do families Americanize their names? I think each family has their reasons – sometimes it has to do with fitting in a little better in the “new land”. But, it also might have come about in order to separate themselves from the other branch of the family.

Some people do it for practical purposes. Our family name is a fairly common one Szabo S-z-a-b-o but it is routinely misspelled and mispronounced. Some days it doesn’t seem to be worth the hassle to educate people on the correct pronunciation and spelling. If you have a very Hungarian last name, you know exactly what I am talking about. Sometimes it is just easier to simplify it. But maybe you don’t even know that your last name is officially pronounced differently because your entire life it has been pronounced the “easier way”. Again, there are lots of reasons for that. And I am not criticizing those families who have chosen to change their names or adapt them. But there is something special that gets lost. And, pretty soon, no one is left who knows the original pronunciation or spelling. And sometimes that is how family members get lost, too. If you notice a variety of spellings of your family name through the generations, take note of them. That may come in handy as you continue your research!

Be sure to check out The Hungarian Store for more resources as you explore your Hungarian heritage! If you need extra help with genealogy work and would like to hire someone to help you do some research, we have a two hour package available. Please click here for more information!

Hey there! This is Part 6 of the icipici series of the Hungarian Living Podcast all about Getting Started with Genealogy. Today’s assignment is a little different.

I want to encourage you to seek out the oldest member of your blood relatives and ask them the same questions that you had to answer in the Part 1 of the icipici edition of Hungarian Living podcast on Getting Started with Genealogy. See what they know and if it can help you as you round out your family tree. Having conversations with aunts, uncles, and cousins can help piece together your family information. Some people hold very important clues or details that no one else does. That is why everyone’s piece of the puzzle is important.

Listen to Part 1!
