Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Michael: In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Hungarian learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native speaker. You'll learn how these key phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then, through repetition and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and any variations.

Lesson focus

Michael: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question "Where do you live?" In Hungarian this is
Lena: Hol élsz?
Michael: The first word in the question is
Lena: Hol
Michael: meaning “where” in English.
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) Hol
Michael: Listen again and repeat.
Lena: Hol
{Pause}
Michael: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is
Lena: élsz
Michael: meaning “you live.”
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) élsz
Michael: Now repeat.
Lena: élsz
{Pause}
Michael: Listen to the entire question and repeat.
Lena: Hol élsz?
{pause}
Michael: You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies. Master the following pattern and responses to the question, “Where do you live?”.
Lena: New York-ban élek.
Michael: "I live in New York." Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase.
Lena: (Slow) New York-ban élek.
{pause}
Michael: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word:
Lena: New York-ban
Michael: means “in New York”.
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) New York-ban
Michael: Now repeat
Lena: New York-ban
{Pause}
Michael: And next
Lena: élek
Michael: meaning “I live”
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) élek
Michael: Now repeat.
Lena: élek
{Pause}
Michael: Listen to the speaker say, I live in New York., and then repeat.
Lena: New York-ban élek.
{pause}
Michael: To expand on the pattern, replace New York with in Budapest.
Lena: Budapesten
Michael: in Budapest
Lena: (slow) Budapesten (regular) Budapesten
Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with in Budapest
Lena: Budapesten élek.
Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace New York with in Budapest. Say, “I live in Budapest.
{pause}
Lena: Budapesten élek.
Michael: To expand on the pattern, replace in Budapest with in Rome.
Lena: Rómában
Michael: in Rome
Lena: (slow) Rómában (regular) Rómában
Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with in Rome
Lena: Rómában élek.
