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.

The best Hungarian birthday cake - Dobos Torte


We ordered this gorgeous cake for d's 12th birthday. It's a must for anyone celebrating in good Hungarian style. The cake has many layers of thin sponge and mild coffee cream with a notorious hard toffee style coating on top. mmmm!! simply yummy.

We had the cake made by Sweet Passion Cakes based in Weybridge by a great patissier István Gaál.
