In this episode. I talk about Valentine’s Day: who celebrates it, who doesn’t, and why. In the full version, you will hear different opinions. Some people think it’s romantic and helps couples stop and focus on each other, while others think, love is shown in small everyday actions, not on one special day. There are also simple ideas for celebrating without gifts or big spending: a nice walk, cooking at home, candles, music, or a cozy day together.

Yoga is extremely popular today, but it is much more than stretching and poses.

In the full episode, I talk about yoga in simple, natural Hungarian: what yoga really is, why it is not only for women, and how it affects the body, the mind, and our emotions.

You will hear about different types of yoga, how to start practicing, what equipment you really need (spoiler: not much), and why patience and regular practice matter – not only in yoga, but also in language learning.

This episode is ideal for pre-intermediate Hungarian learners who want to improve listening skills, learn useful vocabulary, and reflect on motivation, stress, and self-care in Hungarian.

🎧 Full episode available for Plain Hungarian Club members.

In this episode, I’m talking to Kacper, a Polish-Swedish language learner who started learning Hungarian earlier this year - because his mother-in-law doesn't speak English.
Kacper is living proof that if you focus on relevant, useful vocabulary and start speaking from day one, you don’t need years to have a real conversation in Hungarian.
We talk about his language journey, the challenges of Hungarian grammar, cultural differences between Sweden, Poland and Hungary, and how he manages to communicate after just a few months of practice.

I hope you’ll enjoy the episode!
