Let's Learn Hungarian!Let's Learn Hungarian! show

Summary: Lesson 8 is between a mother and her son on Mother's Day, and the son's embarrassing admission about his gift to her. We answer several listener questions on this lesson, and also discuss the tradition of Hungarian name days and other odd tidbits of Hungarian culture that you might not have been aware of. See below for the script for this lesson's material and the new vocabulary. Try and memorize as much as possible so you'll be ready for the review next time!
