Work with computers for money, bicycles and motorcycles for fun. My main passion is football (the proper one, for men, not thoes sisies in full body armour
), then come the sheWhoMustBeObayed & family.
OT: my main commuter, the Mule, is a 3x8 speed Shimano Acera built "trekking" (Germans know why
) bicycle. Rear wheel is dished with decent stainless spokes, rims are cheap but decent no-name ones, while hubs are also Acera I think.
Sie müssen mehr Deutsch mit mir sprechen weil ich möchte besser Deutsch sprechen.
Hungarian is quite hard. I picked up some
really basic conversational Hungarian while spending time in Bakonyoszlop, Veszprém and Balatonfüred.
I follow CFR Cluj because I spent some time in Cluj-Napoca and the stadium is right next some of my buddies houses. Got to use some of my crappy Hungarian and found out the Romanian sounds quite similar to Italian. There was a 50-year old woman we stayed with who was trained in English for 2 years during the late 70s and early 80s in "gymnasium." She was quite happy to talk with an American. Hungarians are quite proud and I was fascinated to learn about the history of the Hungarian kingdom (1000 years!).
German didn't help at all.
I need to get some slavic language training
