Hello,
I think this is my first post in the Hungarian forum. I am what you may call a language geek. On day-to-day (err... rather week-to-week) basis I deal with Iranian and Caucasian langs, but I had my stint with Hungarian as well (at Debreceni Nyári Egyetem during the hot summer of 2001).
But to the point - I was just recently doing my summer-planning and I thought it might be a good idea to try to revive my Hungarian (I never really used it after that memorable summer). I'm not expecting anything spectacular - mind you, I have a family, a job and a dozen other hobbies - just achieving some respectable level of passive knowledge would suffice.
Still with me? My request or rather two requests are:
1) I found a book called "Hungarian Graded Reader" (downloadable, with audio) at FSI language courses website. The book seems fine, but it was written about 40 years ago - I'd greatly appreciate if any of the resident Hungarians checked if the language of it is perhaps a bit outdated (and if it is - in what regards)
2) I would also appreciate having a Hungarian e-mail pal with whom I could discuss not only the language stuff but also all the issues related to our Central European homelands (I am Polish if you didn't figure it out). I will probably pester you with questions on this forum, but e-mail is somehow more convenient for me.
