my first hungarian class..

i would say that today was marked as a hungarian day.. finally my hungarian language class was launched, with full bag (dictionary, grammar book etc.) i started today's walk to the office, no hungarian marks in the morning (could be because i have read a german book) and in the office it was easy to look forward for my afternoon class, just one thing left - jump to the library and then after some time join the new teacher (just a moment before the class i met my hungarian friend and i was happy to see him again) - my new teacher is a smart slovak/hungarian guy who is living 9 years in prague, he studied MATFYZ (math-physics university) and now he is much into anthropology (dont know where his aim broke down to this field of study).. the teaching is his hobby.. what else? he did not play my game.. he knows czech/slovak and i tried to convince him to at least explain me some grammar in a language i know but he came with a method that everything will be in hungarian.. i need to tell that it is tough to understand language basics if they are explained in a lnaguage you dont know (i found myself looking at my new teacher with wonder in my eyes and usually what left my mouth was "nem ertem" - i dont understand.. after some while i got used to the fact that my strategy failed and i adapted to the rules - that everything will be in hungarian.. good that i recognized that the fight is not worth - it gave me much to try to speak in foreign language..

God seems to have good sense of humor (same as my woman).. when i was travelling home i decided that i will take a walk home and together with me got off from a bus a lady.. firstly she walked in front of me and i could not hear what she is telling to her cell, but as i was faster i got in front of her and to my wonder the girl spoke pure hungarian.. (trully i felt like a hungarian invazion to prague started just a while ago)
