A2 - PRE-INTERMEDIATE - In today’s episode, I’m talking about this very relatable (and very divisive) question.

B1 - INTERMEDIATE - In this episode, we explore why it’s so hard to truly rest in today’s busy world. We talk about the pressure to always be productive, the impact of social media on our energy, and why feeling guilty about resting isn’t healthy. I share some of the things I do to slow down, and I highly recommend my blog with Hungarian audio and English translation. It is a relaxing and enjoyable way to calm the noise in your mind, helping you slow down and find focus:🌿 https://www.patreon.com/collection/801306

B1+ - INTERMEDIATE - In this episode, I share my top three favorite Hungarian movies, a mix of new and classic films.

B1+ - UPPER-INTERMEDIATE - Someone once called me an influencer… actually, two people :D But I’m not an influencer. I don’t sell products, I don’t do sponsorships. I am a teacher, I help people learn Hungarian and I have a small business. Making videos is 20% of my work. Anyway, these comments inspired today's episode where I'll talk about a few influencer trends I find annoying or a bit weird. Just my personal thoughts, nothing serious, just some honest rambling at B1+ level 😄 --📘 Short Stories in Hungarian Vol. 1 Ebook🎙️Get everything you need to become a successful independent learner: http://patreon.com/hungarianwithsziszi☕ Support the podcast: http://ko-fi.com/hungarianwithsziszi💌 Email list for info about upcoming courses, HU-EN emails about language learning, tips, personal stuff: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/459443/92084566450243126/share

A2 - PRE-INTERMEDIATE - I answer ten “either-or” questions and tell you which one I choose and why. I say "választ" [to choose ] nine times in this podcast and "válaszol" [to answer] four times. These two words often get mixed up by Hungarian learners, so if you struggle with them too, this episode is a great way to practice and hear the difference in context.--📘 Short Stories in Hungarian Vol. 1 Ebook🎙️Get everything you need to become a successful independent learner: http://patreon.com/hungarianwithsziszi☕ Support the podcast: http://ko-fi.com/hungarianwithsziszi💌 Email list for info about upcoming courses, HU-EN emails about language learning, tips, personal stuff: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/459443/92084566450243126/share

B2 - UPPER-INTERMEDIATE - We all know Hungarian can feel like a shock at first for learners who are used to studying languages from the same family, like the Romance or Germanic languages. It doesn’t really compare to anything else. But what about the other side of the story? How does this affect Hungarians when they try to learn foreign languages?I actually used to teach English one-on-one, so I’ll share some of the most common things my Hungarian students struggled with back then. I’ll also talk about what gave me a hard time when I started learning Polish and Spanish myself.Please, don't forget to give me five stars on Spotify if you like my podcast ❤️--📘 Short Stories in Hungarian Vol. 1 Ebook 🎙️Get everything you need to become a successful independent learner: http://patreon.com/hungarianwithsziszi ☕ Support the podcast: http://ko-fi.com/hungarianwithszisziThank you so much for considering supporting my work—it really means a lot! ❤️💌 Email list for info about upcoming courses, HU-EN emails about language learning, tips, personal stuff: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/459443/92084566450243126/share
