Even so, I'm still doing French and Spanish now and then. And in totally unexpected news, I'll be going to a work conference & week of vacation in Budapest at the end of April! Which of course me that I'm scrambling to learn basic travel phrases of Hungarian before I get there.
I know such riveting Hungarian phrases as:
- Nem beszélek magyarul. "I don't speak Hungarian."
- Elnézést, beszél angolul? "Excuse me, donyou speak English?"
- Sajnálom de nem értem. "I'm sorry but I don't speak understand."
I'm using Pimsleur seriously for the first time, despite strongly disliking audio-only materials, mainly because A) since it's a non-Indo-European language that I know nothing about, I want to focus on pronunciation and getting an ear for it, and B) it's what my local library had available.
If anyone here knows Hungarian, I'd love some feedback on my pronunciation of my super basic phrases. Let me know!
