Are you ready to look behind the words of the Hungarian language? 🇭🇺

Welcome to this relaxed, insightful episode where we explore the vivid and sometimes confusing world of Hungarian proverbs and idioms (szólások). These expressions offer a direct window into the Hungarian way of thinking and / or sense of humor.

In this episode, we decode some phrases that make little sense when translated literally, including the phrase:

• "Kicsi a bors, de erős." (Literally: "The pepper is small, but strong.")

We will discuss what this and other curious sayings really mean, how they relate to everyday life, and how you can use them to sound more native.

Join for a calm, yet deep dive into these "secrets" hidden within the Hungarian language. Mastering these idioms is the next step in your linguistic journey!

For: Hungarian language learners (B1-B2 level) who want to expand their conversational skills and cultural understanding.

Did you know that some key tools of modern life have Hungarian roots? 🇭🇺

Welcome to this special episode, where we pause to appreciate the lasting global impact of 3 Hungarian inventors' ingenuity. This episode is released on November 3rd, the Day of Hungarian Science (Magyar Tudomány Napja), to honor these remarkable achievements.

In this episode, we focus on three fundamental inventions that changed everyday life:

1. The Rubik's Cube: A puzzle that has captivated millions globally, showcasing a unique genius for complex thinking. (Ernő Rubik)

2. The Biro Pen: The modern, reliable writing instrument that revolutionized communication. (László Bíró)

3. The Match: The essential tool for safely harnessing fire, made safer by a Hungarian chemist. (János Irinyi)

Join for a thoughtful exploration of the minds behind these inventions and expand your Hungarian vocabulary related to innovation and history.

For: Language learners (B1/B2 level) and anyone seeking a deeper, more reflective look at Hungarian contributions to science and technology.

In this episode, we talk about one of the most interesting parts of Hungarian communication — the complaint culture.
Why do Hungarians often start conversations with small complaints?
Is it really negativity, or maybe a way to connect with others and express emotions?
You’ll also hear what a foreigner can do when surrounded by “complaining Hungarians” — how to understand, react, and even join the conversation with empathy and humor.

Perfect for B1–B2 learners who want to understand not only the Hungarian language, but also the Hungarian heart.

In this episode, you will hear about what autumn feels like in Hungary — the colors, the smells, the traditions, and the quiet moments.
