This was a typing mistake, I left out the word 'jól' after 'magát érzte'
I wanted to say - and my wife enjoyed saying a few words too.
It was my limited Hungarian way of saying this.
I've heard 'enjoy' being said in Hungarian as 'érzi magát jól'. I know that it literally means 'to feel good'.

Hi all, finally I managed to begin my study of Hungarian, though I have to use only
internet resources to accomplish this.
Well, I have some questions for all the users of these thread who study (or speak as
native language) hungarian.
1) How is pronounced C? Like a "z" (of Italian staZione for instance) or TS like
"bats"?
2) How is pronounced GY? Like DY in English or like GHI in Italian (hard sound for G)?
3) And how is correctly pronounced TY? Like a K?
4) What are "equational sentences"?
I meant like:
A város szép --> Which is: The city is nice. Correct?
This should be an "equational sentence" where the verb lenni is omitted.
So what exactly is an "equational sentence"?
When this rule of omission of verb "to be" is applied?
Thank you in advance for your help :)

It is like German "z".

Something like d+y, however this is a simple sound, not a composite of "d" and "y".
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_palatal_plosive - there is a sound sample too.

No. Ty is the voiceless pair of "gy".
It is like t+y.

The verb "to be" is omitted only in 3rd person (both singular and plural), present tense, indicative mood.
And advice. Dont call the Hungarian verbs by their infinitives. In Hungarian the basic form of the verbs is not the infinitive, but the 3rd person, singular, present tense, indicative mood, indeterminate conjugation form. So this is the verb "van".

Mit tanulsz?
Lehetséges angulolt?
Én szeretek írni magyarulban is olvasni, de nem vagyok nagyon jó.
Jelenleg lakom Olaszországban, hol laksz te?
Köszönöm és szia!
Yeah I know it's a bit nonsense, however my knowledge (having begun two days ago) are
very little.
Correct me everywhere is needed, thank you!

Something that needs to be clarified.
The word "magyarul" doesnt mean "Hungarian language". Its a fact that many people thinks that "magyarul" means "Hungarian language", but this is not so.
There was even a discussion in Wikipedia about this, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hungarian_language/Archive _1#Mistakes.3F. Magyarul means Hungarian + -ul/-ül adverbial ending, it can be translated to English as "in Hungarian", however in reality it means something like "Hungarianly", but this doesnt exist in English.
Other example for -ul/-ül ending:
rossz (bad) - rosszul (badly)
