| Michael: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question Do you like Hungarian food? In Hungarian this is |
| Lena: Szereted a magyar konyhát? |
| Michael: The first word in the question is |
| Lena: szereted |
| Michael: meaning “you like” in English. |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) szereted |
| Michael: Listen again and repeat. |
| Lena: szereted |
| {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: a |
| Michael: meaning “the”. |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) a |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: a |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: Listen to the first 2 words of the question and repeat. |
| Lena: szereted a |
| {pause} |
| Michael: And after that |
| Lena: magyar |
| Michael: meaning “Hungarian.” |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) magyar |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: magyar |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: And after that |
| Lena: konyhát |
| Michael: meaning “kitchen” but this can be used when you’re asking about food. |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) konyhát |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: konyhát |
| Michael: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Lena: Szereted a magyar konyhát? |
| {pause} |
| Michael: Master the following pattern and responses to the question Do you like Hungarian food?? |
| Lena: Igen, nagyon szeretem a gulyáslevest. |
| Michael: "Yes, I especially like goulash." Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Lena: (Slow) Igen, nagyon szeretem a gulyáslevest. |
| {pause} |
| Michael: To say "no", in a simple way, just say: |
| Lena: Nem, nem szeretem. |
| Michael: Which is like saying “No, I don't like it.” in English. Let's hear it slowly. |
| Lena: (Slowly) Nem, nem szeretem. |
| Michael: And one more time at normal speed: |
| Lena: Nem, nem szeretem. |
| Michael: Now let's break down our original response from the beginning. The first word: |
| Lena: Igen |
| Michael: means “yes.” |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) Igen |
| Michael: Now repeat |
| Lena: Igen |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: And next |
| Lena: nagyon |
| Michael: meaning “especially” |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) nagyon |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: nagyon |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: And next |
| Lena: szeretem |
| Michael: meaning “I like”. |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) szeretem |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: szeretem |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: And next |
| Lena: gulyáslevest |
| Michael: meaning “goulash” |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) gulyáslevest |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: gulyáslevest |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: Listen to the speaker say, Yes, I especially like goulash., and then repeat. |
| Lena: Igen, nagyon szeretem a gulyáslevest. |
| {pause} |
| Michael: To use a different phrase, replace goulash with Hungarian fish soup. |
| Lena: halászlevet |
| Michael: Hungarian fish soup |
| Lena: (slow) halászlevet (regular) halászlevet |
| Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with Hungarian fish soup |
| Lena: Igen, nagyon szeretem a halászlevet. |
| Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace goulash. Say “Yes, I especially like Hungarian fish soup.” |
| {pause} |
| Lena: Igen, nagyon szeretem a halászlevet. |
| Michael: To expand on the pattern, replace Hungarian fish soup with rolled cabbage. |
| Lena: töltött káposztát |
| Michael: rolled cabbage |
| Lena: (slow) töltött káposztát (regular) töltött káposztát |
| Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with rolled cabbage |
