With módam I meant 'my method of life' or 'my lifestyle'. In the second sentence I wanted to say - I like teaching but I have a bigger plan. (In English I would have said 'I have bigger ambitions' but I didn't know the word for ambition. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

That's interesting. I've always found Hungarian word order to be the biggest killer for a foreigner. Even after all these years my sometimes strange word order gives me away as a non-native. I do agree on your point about Hungarian indefinite and definite conjugation. It's really not *that* hard as it's applied mechanically depending on whether it conforms to at least one of 7 rules. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Watching movies is always very hard. I have the same problem with American and British movies. When reading in English, I understand 95-99 %, depending on the text. So I am almost completely fluent in English, but ONLY IN READING. Watching English-language movies I understand only 25-30 %!!! Sometimes full sentences are lost for me. Usually I watch English-language movies in the original language, but with English subtitles. It is good that most DVDs include text for the hearing impaired. I am not hearing impaired, but these hearing impaired subtitles are very good for persons who have problems understanding the spoken language. My English is very passive. I am good in reading, and I can write in English without very big mistakes. But I have problem understanding native speakers of English who speak quickly. When a Russian or an Indian or a Spanish speak in English with their Indian/Russian/Spanish accent, I understand 100 %, but when a British or an American speaks, I understand 70-80 % depending on the situation... Also, I have problems with speaking. I know thousands of English words, but in many cases I dont know the correct pronunciation. And I have almost no practice, because I use English mainly in reading and writing, not speaking, for example I pronounce the words "MAN" and "MEN" the same way... :-) Edited by maxval on 19 January 2011 at 5:01pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Mód with possesive suffix in 1st person singular will be MÓDOM. Lifestyle is ÉLETMÓD.
"Szeretek tanítani, de van egy nagyobb tervem." Ambition in this case would be very simple: AMBÍCIÓ. It can be translated as BECSVÁGY too, but in this sense its better to say "ambíció". But in reality saying "nagyobb terveim vannak" is better than "nagyobb ambícióim vannak" - you know that in Hungarian using too much foreign words is considered kind of snobbery... 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Are there any rules for learning whether back vowel suffixes have an A or an O in them? I really don't like using loaned foreign words when speaking Czech or hopefully Hungarian in the future so I'll stick to 'terv'. For example in Czech, I always say the Czech versions for loan words even when Czechs prefer to use the loan word, it's my pet hate. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

All I can say is that your written English is excellent. I also use the hearing impaired option for Spanish films and used to do it for a long time with Czech too. Even in Czech there are some films where I really struggle to understand big chunks, especially artistic/poetic films. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Another strange story. Hopefully it will be as effective as the first one in helping me to remember new vocabulary. I´m going to try to use as many of my recently learned words as possible. I will be using the present tense mainly as I want to practise it a bit more.
JANUARY CHALLENGE – WRITTEN PIECE 3 Ron a hóban ruha nélkül (nélkül ruha?) áll. Igaz hogy éleg hűvös idő van, de Ron nagyon erős angol! Fúj a szél és lehet mínusz húsz fok van. Nem tudja, miért itt van, de emléksziki hogy tegnap bulin volt és buliken mindig sok iszik. A feje nem fáj és jól van, csak egy kiscit fázik! Kezd futni, mert akarok melegje lenni és akarok házat találni. Most mezőben van és más mezőben mellett tehéneket lát. Fut más mezőhöz és ugrik a más mezőbe. Félik tehének tőle és elfutnak, de Ron nem akarok tehénet enni, tehéneket néha eszik, de ma nem, mert csak akarok benn lenni, tűz mellett. Egy házat lát. A ház éleg régi és kint két öreg férfi áll. Az öreg férfik őt látja és tőle félik, mert Ron ruha nélkül van! „Jó reggelt kívánok” nekik mondja Ron, „bocsánat, eltevedtem, nem tudom hol vagyok és hóban ruha nélkül nagyon fázom vagyok.” „Nem bizony! Miért ruha nélkül van? Miért nem tudja hol van?” „Itt félebresztem és nem emlékszem mi történt, tudna segíteni?” „Skótországban van.” „Skótországban! Ugyan már! Tegnap egyesült Államokban voltam, nem lehet!” „Mit csináltál egyesült Államokban? Hazudik, buta nem vagyunk, elmenjen innan!” „Nem hazudom, igaz van, maguknak ígérom, Nekem hisznik?” „Nem, hol van fegyverem, most már haragszok.” A öreg férfi megy és elveszi a fegyveretje. Ron fél és elfut. Még hóban van és nagyon fázik, fájnak a lábja és sok akarok aludni. Tizenöt perc folytat futni, de itt csak mezők vannak. Egyszerre mezőben egy tömeget lát és mindenki barátjai. Közelebb megy és mindenki nevetje mondják, akkor azt kiabálják és Ron furcsa érzi magát. Már nem jól lát és alszik, de még hallja hogy nevetje kiabálják.....egyszerre fejeket barátjai jól látja és más vannak. „Felébresztj Ron! Ron, felébresztj” neki mondják. Szeme nyitvak és már tudja hol van és mi történt. Kint hóban van, leesette (leesik/he fell over?) amikor kint ment dohányzikni. Csak rossz álom volt. Már nagyon örül, hogy skótországban ruha nélkül nem van. So maybe it's a bit too complex for my level. My hope is that you'll understand most of it at least. Once again, Maxval, Chung or whoever, I'll be really grateful for corrections, I've already copied out the last ones and they're very helpful. Thanks in advance! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

ELÉG
lehet, HOGY mínusz húsz fok van
word order - Nem tudja, miért VAN ITT EMLÉKSZIK bulikOn A bulikon - article needes
KICSIT
1st person ot 3rd person? "Kezd futni, mert azt akarja, hogy melege legyen és egy házat akar találni." OR "Kezdek futni, mert azt akarom, hogy melegem legyen és egy házat akarok találni."
MEZŐN "mezőben mellett" - mellett is used with Nominativus, so: "mező mellett" TEHENEK "Most egy mezőn van és egy másik mező mellett teheneket lát."
Runs or jumps? Both cannot be used. "Fut a másik mezőre."
plural should be used: tehenek félnek Ron nem akar - 3rd person "A tehenek félnek tőle és elfutnak, de Ron nem akar tehenet enni, néha eszik tehenet, de ma nem, mert csak benn akar lenni, a tűz mellett." Edited by maxval on 23 January 2011 at 7:41pm 2 persons have voted this message useful |
