| Michael: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question “Where are you from?”. In Hungarian this is |
| Lena: Hová valósi vagy? |

| Lena: Hová |
| Michael: meaning something like “where” in English. |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) Hová |
| Michael: Listen again and repeat. |
| Lena: Hová |
| {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: valósi vagy |
| Michael: meaning "you from", or "are you from". |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) valósi vagy |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: valósi vagy |
