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 Do you have any brothers or sisters? In Hungarian this is
Lena: Vannak testvéreid?
Michael: The first word in the question is
Lena: Vannak
Michael: meaning “there are” or “have you”
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) Vannak
Michael: Listen again and repeat.
Lena: Vannak
{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: testvéreid
Michael: meaning “your siblings”
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) testvéreid
Michael: Now repeat.
Lena: testvéreid
{Pause}
Michael: Listen to the entire question and repeat.
Lena: Vannak testvéreid?
{pause}
Michael: Master the following pattern and responses to the question Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Lena: Van egy húgom.
Michael: "I have a younger sister." Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase.
Lena: (Slow) Van egy húgom.
{pause}
Michael: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word:
Lena: Van
Michael: means “there are” or “I have”
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) Van
Michael: Now repeat
Lena: Van
{Pause}
Michael: And after that
Lena: egy húgom
Michael: meaning “a younger sister”.
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) egy húgom
Michael: Now repeat.
Lena: egy húgom
Michael: Listen to the speaker say, “I have a younger sister.”, and then repeat.
Lena: Van egy húgom.
{pause}
Michael: To expand on the pattern, replace “a younger sister” with “an older brother.”
Lena: egy bátyám
Michael: an older brother
Lena: (slow) egy bátyám (regular) egy bátyám
Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with brother
Lena: Van egy bátyám.
Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace “a younger sister”. Say “I have an older brother.”
{pause}
Lena: Van egy bátyám.
Michael: To use a different phrase, replace “an older brother” with “one younger brother and one older sister.”
Lena: egy öcsém és egy nővérem
Michael: one younger brother and one older sister
Lena: (slow) egy öcsém és egy nővérem (regular) egy öcsém és egy nővérem
Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “one younger brother and one older sister”
Lena: Van egy öcsém és egy nővérem
Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the word for “an older brother.” Say I have “one younger brother and one older sister.”
{pause}
Lena: Van egy öcsém és egy nővérem.
Michael: To expand on the pattern, replace “one younger brother and one older sister” with “two older brothers.”
Lena: két bátyám
Michael: two older brothers
Lena: (slow) két bátyám (regular) két bátyám
Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “two older brothers”
Lena: Van két bátyám.
Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the phrase for one younger brother and one older sister. Say I have two older brothers.
{pause}
Lena: Van két bátyám.
