  • #27 Nyári történetek tőletek - Summer stories from you 🏖️ ☀️
    Jul 28 2024

    Now I have a special celebratory episode for you, because it's the one-year anniversary of the Plain Hungarian Podcast and Klub! I asked the club members to send me summer stories, and I'm going to read them.
    You can read the podcasts in the club and I'll also be doing an English-Hungarian word list for each episode, but the best part is the Hungarian lesson where we talk in small groups about the monthly podcast topic.
    We also have a monthly Coffee Break (Kávészünet), where we have coffee, tea and talk in Hungarian. In the spring we also had live Coffee Breaks in a really cute café in Budapest, and I'd like to do that again in the autumn.
    If you want to join the Plain Hungarian Klub and learn Hungarian with me in a fun and supportive community, go to http://ko-fi.com/plainhungarian/tiers
    The club has lots of useful teaching material, such as grammar explanations, slang, learning tips, podcast transcripts, word explanations, and of course the monthly Hungarian lessons and Coffee Break. In the past year, I have produced a lot of teaching material: the transcripts of the twenty-six podcast episodes are now over 210 pages long, and I have written over 1300 word explanations.

  • #25 “Olyan ez, mint a biciklizés: nem lehet elfelejteni.” - "It's like riding a bike: you can't forget it."
    Jun 28 2024

    I'll tell you why I had to learn to ride a bike twice, why I cycled 70 km with a guy I didn't know last summer, and what I'll be doing in 2025.

  • #23 Nők a tudományban - Women in science - B1
    May 28 2024

    Imagine that a woman has to sell her jewellery to finance her medical studies. Why was Vilma Hugonnai, the first Hungarian woman doctor, forced to do this, and what social obstacles did she have to overcome? I present this fascinating story and the life of Mileva Marić, whose name is often overshadowed by that of her husband Albert Einstein. Both women struggled to find a place in academia and the world of science, and through their inspiring stories I shed light on the social challenges and prejudices of the time.

    Képzeld el, hogy egy nőnek el kell adnia az ékszereit, hogy finanszírozza az orvosi tanulmányait. Miért volt Hugonnai Vilma, az első magyar orvosnő, kénytelen ezt megtenni, és milyen társadalmi akadályokat kellett legyűrnie? Ezt a lenyűgöző történetet mutatom be, valamint Mileva Marić életét ismerheted meg, akinek neve gyakran háttérbe szorult férje, Albert Einstein árnyékában. Mindkét nő küzdött azért, hogy helyet kapjanak az egyetemi oktatásban és a tudomány világában, és inspiráló történetük révén rávilágítok a korabeli társadalmi kihívásokra és előítéletekre.

  • #22 Inspiráló nők - Inspiring women - A2+
    May 14 2024

    Szia! I'm Csilla and this is the Plain Hungarian podcast for Hungarian learners.

    In this episode, five people talk about the inspiring women they know. The reason for this topic is because there was Mother's Day recently. In the episode I talk about a wise grandmother, a physics sister, a single mom, a great Hungarian teacher and my mother-in-law. 😊

    It's spring, the birds are singing, and unfortunately you can really hear the birds in the podcast, but I hope you don't mind.
    If you'd like to read the episode, join my Ko-fi club, where you'll get a lot of useful stuff in addition to the podcast transcripts. You can check out the words in English and Hungarian, find grammar and cultural explanations, send in your questions every month and I'll answer them, join my Telegram community and meet me twice a month.
