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.

Hungarian Tescos

In Hungary Tescos have a whole aisle dedicated to glass candle lamps and flowers for putting on loved ones graves on all saints day - November 1st.

We've brought a few home for our dearly departed family and have had many friends asking for some brought back for theirs. The graves look beautiful all lit up at night.

I wish our superstores paid more attention to celebrating souls of the good as well as the halloween frenzied evil spirits
