If you don't understand everything, that's ok. I prepared a transcript of everything I say in the audio. You will also find the translation of the text into English and Russian.

Hungarian Speaking Practice

How to ask and answer "How are you?" in Hungarian

[Esta es una entrevista que no fue transcrita en su totalidad, es decir que las ultimas 27 preguntas estan sin transcripción a fin de dificultar el nivel de comprensión del alumno.]

Jhon: Bueno, al aceptar la siguiente entrevista, me das los derechos de autor de tu voz para usos educativos y/o personales. ¿Estás de acuerdo?

Sofía: Sí.

Jhon: Súper. Entonces bueno, acércate un poco para que estemos más cerca en el audio. Así que bueno, cuando pienso en vos, yo relaciono la persona que sos vos con el deporte. Entonces, pensando en diferentes temas, se me ocurrió que ahora en Francia vamos a celebrar los Juegos Olímpicos. La primera pregunta que tengo para ti, y puedes hablar un poquito despacio, no tan rápido porque son personas que probablemente no entienden español, es para practicar. ¿Qué viene a tu mente cuando escuchas la palabra o el concepto de los Juegos Olímpicos?

Sofía: Digamos que es como... a ver, el concepto como esperanza porque pues a mi parecer siempre fue como un sueño poder ir al menos a ver, como ver. Y pues también, de pronto en algún momento participar en ellos. Al final, pues en este caso no se pudo, pero siempre ha sido como un sueño y como algo que siempre he tenido como esa esperanza de ver en vivo.

Jhon: Ok, ¿crees tú que eres como una fanática de los Juegos Olímpicos o es algo más casual?

Sofía: No tanto así como una súper fanática porque te mentiría si te dijera que me levanto a las tres de la mañana, porque es en otro lugar del mundo, los horarios son diferentes. O sea, si te dijera que me levanto todos los días a ver las competencias, no. Más que todo me interesa la natación, porque a mí me encanta el deporte, pero específicamente la natación es lo que más me gusta. Entonces, sí me encanta mucho pero con los años ha bajado un poco la emoción, pero igual siempre trato de seguir conectada.

Here is a part of the transcription and due to the 2000 characters limit, I cant put the other part but I hope you guys enjoy it!

Best Wishes!

Talk Time with Jhon!

Una platica sobre las Olimpiadas con Sofia!

Clara, a brilliant data analyst with a mind for numbers, walked into my office looking like a storm cloud. Networking events were her kryptonite. "I freeze up," she confessed, "Small talk? Forget it! I just stand there awkwardly, feeling like a total outsider."

Clara's shyness was hindering her career. Her analytical skills were top-notch, but promotions often went to colleagues who could "schmooze" with decision-makers. I knew I could help.

Our first step was reframing networking. Instead of a dreaded chore, we saw it as an opportunity to connect with people who shared her passion for data. We practiced "elevator pitches" - concise introductions highlighting her expertise. We focused on open-ended questions, like "What's the biggest data challenge you're facing?" to spark engaging conversations.

Next, we tackled the "shy freeze." Role-playing helped Clara practice making eye contact, smiling warmly, and using active listening techniques like nodding and acknowledging what the other person said. We even practiced "exit strategies" - polite ways to excuse herself from a conversation when she felt overwhelmed.

The turning point came when I suggested Clara volunteer at a data analysis conference.  She'd be interacting with people who shared her interests, but in a less intimidating setting.  It worked! Clara's passion for data analysis shone through, and she ended up having stimulating conversations with attendees.

The next networking event was a different story. Armed with her practiced pitch and newfound confidence, Clara actively approached people, discussed data trends, and even shared a few insights herself. She even left with a business card from a potential mentor!

Today, Clara is a networking pro.  She still gets nervous, but she no longer lets shyness hold her back.  Clara's story proves that anyone can become a confident networker with the right tools and a supportive coach.
