Hungarian Lesson

On Saturday 5th July, we all met at my house for a BBQ and also to learn some Hungarian - this was a fun night. I am not very good at learning languages so am bit scared that what I learn will go in one ear and out the other and when am in Hungary will get toungue tied - but will live in trust and hope this does not happen.

Here are some key phrases that we learnt:

Igen - Yes

Nem - No

Szia - Hello (to an individual)

Sziastock - Hello (to a group of people)

Viszontlátásra - Goodbye

Köszönöm - Thank you

Isten - God

Jó reggelt - Good Morning (say before 9am)

Jó napot - Good Day (say after 9am)

Jó estét - Good Evening

Jó éjszakát - Good Night

So my name is Jó in Hungarian, said like Yo.... and it means good which means I must be good! Wonder if anyone would agree with that!
