Welcome to 'Bridging The Linguistic Gap'

This blog will follow my attempts to teach myself and my children Hungarian. I am half English, half Hungarian and have longed to speak the language. Now is the time.

Maybe I've gone a bit crazy or got a bit over enthusiastic one day -when I decided to do this, but I really do think I can ... teach myself and also teach my children to speak Hungarian and connect with a part of our identities that is usually hidden.

keep your language alive... Speak it, Read it, Keep it - this is the slogan for my online bookstore - Mother Tongue Books. My store sells bilingual children's books, you can visit at the link below.

So now it's time to stop telling everyone else with a foreign connection to develop their mother tongues and start doing it myself.

New term

So, we've had a break over summer and tomorrow it's back to class for me. I'm afraid D and S are not gong back to the group.

It's not all forgotton though. D will have one to one lessons at home once a month with my teacher from the Hungarian group. She's just started secondary school so has a lot on her plate at the moment, so I think this will be enough for her. I'm even thinking that Lovely hubby could join in too.. maybe.

I am so idealistic it's unreal!

We may take S to the group for a play now and then but nothing structured. Take it a bit slower I think is the key.
