A2 - PRE-INTERMEDIATE - In today’s episode, I’m talking about this very relatable (and very divisive) question. I share my thoughts on traditional expectations, modern dating, how things work in Hungary (and maybe don’t in Scandinavia!), and also some personal stories, including the time I went on a “first date” with a girl I met on Bumble BFF when I had just moved to El Paso.

This is a fun one to listen to if you like real-life stories, everyday Hungarian, and topics that everyone seems to have an opinion on. As always, you can find the transcript, word list, and extra notes on Patreon — and I’d love to hear what you think in the comments (in Hungarian, of course 😄).

✨ Perfect for Hungarian learners (A2–B2)
