Tanulok Magyarul - I study Hungarian III

This year I have greatly increased my Hungarian language skills, but I make many funny mistakes when I go out and try to speak to people.  Here are some examples:


In the midst of cleaning up water that had poured all over my kitchen from my broken water heater I told my neighbor that the washer was in the cloths.


When shopping for fabric to make pajama pants I told the lady the I was making night pants, only to look up the word for pajama in the dictionary and find out it is the same in Hungarian as in English.

I hope that you can find the humor in these stories as much as I can!

Picture Saturday: Shopping in Budapest

Like most large cities Budapest has a number of places to go shopping.  Here are two of the malls regularly shopping.  By clicking on the links you can see the malls' websites. (There is more information in Hungarian than English.  This is something that makings living in Hungary difficult since I am still learning Hungarian.)

This is my favorite: Allee Bevasarlokozpont.

 
Savoya Park: In here is a gigantic Auchan Hypermarket (aka a department store with the emphasis on food)



Here is a link to a YouTube video featuring Allee.
