The Real
Talking Fish lives, writes, translates and teaches in Budapest,
Hungary,
where he has a really nice Hungarian family.
Living as an American in Hungary makes me a talking fish--remarkable primarily for my language. Attention to the actual content of my speech is optional. A woman once asked me to say something in Hungarian, so I started to formulate a sentence: "Well..." I began, in Hungarian. "Thank you!" beamed the woman, and changed the topic--in English. It never occured to her that I might say more than a single word. Or worse, I might actually begin speaking Hungarian--and put an end to her "free English lesson." |

Read the Budapest
Journal for an insider's view of the life, culture, times and society of the Hungarian nation. |
