Would you sit on the corner of a table if someone warned you not to?

In Hungary, small everyday superstitions are everywhere — even if people don’t always admit they believe in them.

In this episode, we look at some of the most well-known ones, like Friday the 13th or the “7 years of bad luck” after breaking a mirror — explained in simple, clear Hungarian.

No pressure, no complicated language — just something interesting you can actually understand.

No politics. No complicated explanations. Just a clear look at how the system works.

Designed for B1–B2 learners, this episode helps you understand real Hungarian while building your listening skills with natural speech.

If you’ve ever wondered how everyday processes work in Hungary, this is a perfect place to start.

In this short video, I wanted to reconnect and share a quick update with you.

I talk (very briefly) about why I’ve been a bit quiet recently, what’s been happening behind the scenes, and most importantly — what’s coming next.

This is a transitional year for me and I’m mainly focusing on my 1-on-1 classes and creating supportive content for B1-C1 students who want to learn Hungarian in a non-overwhelming, natural way.

If you’ve been learning with me (or just found this channel), you’re very welcome here. More is coming soon.

Thanks for your patience and for being part of this journey! 💛
