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 What do you do?. In Hungarian this is
Lena: Mivel foglalkozol?
Michael: The first word in the question is...
Lena: Mivel
Michael: meaning “with what” or “what” in English.
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) Mivel
Michael: Listen again and repeat.
Lena: Mivel
{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: foglalkozol
Michael: meaning “you do.”
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) foglalkozol
Michael: Now repeat.
Lena: foglalkozol
{Pause}
Michael: Listen to the entire question and repeat.
Lena: Mivel foglalkozol?
{pause}
Michael: You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies. Master the following pattern and responses to the question What do you do?
Lena: Tanár vagyok.
Michael: "I'm a teacher." Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase.
Lena: (Slow) Tanár vagyok.
{pause}
Michael: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word:
Lena: tanár
Michael: means “teacher”.
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) tanár
Michael: Now repeat
Lena: tanár
{Pause}
Michael: And next
Lena: vagyok
Michael: means “I am”.
Lena: (Slow, by syllable) vagyok
Michael: Now repeat.
Lena: vagyok
{Pause}
Michael: Listen to the speaker say, I'm a teacher., and then repeat.
Lena: Tanár vagyok.
{pause}
Michael: To use a different phrase, replace teacher with student.
Lena: tanuló
Michael: student
Lena: (slow) tanuló (regular) tanuló
Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with student
Lena: Tanuló vagyok.
Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace teacher. Say I'm a student.
{pause}
Lena: Tanuló vagyok.
Michael: To expand on the pattern, replace student with translator.
Lena: fordító
Michael: translator
Lena: (slow) fordító (regular) fordító
Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with translator.
Lena: Fordító vagyok.
Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the word for student. Say I'm a translator.
{pause}
Lena: Fordító vagyok.
Michael: To expand on the pattern, replace translator with lawyer.
Lena: ügyvéd
Michael: lawyer
Lena: (slow) ügyvéd (regular) ügyvéd
Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with lawyer
Lena: Ügyvéd vagyok.
Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the word for translator. Say I'm a lawyer.
