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 a cell phone? In Hungarian this is
Lena: Van mobiltelefonod?
Michael: The first word in the question is
Lena: van
Michael: meaning “there is” or “you have”
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) van
Michael: Listen again and repeat.
Lena: van
{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: mobiltelefonod
Michael: meaning “your mobile phone”
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) mobiltelefonod
Michael: Now repeat.
Lena: mobiltelefonod
{Pause}
Michael: Listen to the entire question and repeat.

Lena: iPhone-om.
{Pause}
Michael: Listen to the speaker say, “Yes, I have an iPhone.”, and then repeat.
Lena: Igen, van egy iPhone-om.

Michael: To use a different phrase, replace iPhone with Nokia Lumia.
Lena: Nokia Lumiám.
Michael: meaning “my Nokia Lumia”
Lena: (slow) Nokia Lumiám. (regular) Nokia Lumiám.
Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with Nokia Lumia
Lena: Igen, van egy Nokia Lumiám.
