The Truth about Christmas
This page in Hungarian English Language learning resources Star Trek page, featuring pics of Enterprise-C, Voyager page My favorite artists.  Photos of Bob Marley. Buy albums. Info on the nation I live in from the perspective of an expat You never know what a learner of English will say! Enjoy! Something fishy.  Something wierd. 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."
