Would you be able to use your Hungarian to buy a monthly transportation pass? In Lesson 17, we can listen to an authentic recording made “in the field,” in which Steven purchases a monthly pass from a cashier.

This lesson will show you how to buy a monthly transportation pass in person, and we also learn some useful vocabulary to make a simple business transaction in Hungarian.

 

What does it sound like to use your Hungarian in real life? How do Hungarians respond to you? And what the heck is an “áfás számla”?? All of these questions will be answered in this lesson!
