We are going to Hungary. This is the first time I have taken my daughter so it is a really big event.
My aims for this trip are firstly for d to meet everyone and her second cousins who she chats to on facebook. And also for d to realy experience that she is partly Hungarian. I think up to now it has not been very real for her. Her papa lives 300 miles away and there are no other Hungarian relatives in England.
I hope this sparks of a renewed interest in learning more Hungarian and is the first of much more regular trips.

Missing! - Two generations of speaking Hungarian
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.
