Another semester done


We finished another semester of Hungarian language study with a test on Wednesday. We still don't know the results of the test, but we do know we learned a lot of Hungarian this semester. We also learned a lot about Hungarian culture as well as the cultures of the other students in the class. Did you know that it is impolite in Korea to blow your nose in public? Did you know that if Hungarians are jealous, they are not green with envy, they are yellow with envy?
We are signed up for the four-week summer course that begins in July. Until then, though, our language studies continue. We study every day on our own and meet with conversation groups and conversation partners. And our studies continue to include church in Hungarian, doing business in Hungarian and talking with our neighbors. We are putting a lot of time and effort into the goal of speaking the language, but it is vital. We want to minister directly to Hungarians and the best way to do that is to speak their language well. Thank you to all of you who pray for us. Please keep it up!
