🇭🇺 English Matura with JB: Hungary Uncovered – From Budapest’s Bridges to Chimney Cake!
🎙️ : "Hungary is not just a place—it’s a living story where every goulash spoonful, Busó mask, and thermal bath steams with centuries of tradition."
Pack your virtual bags! In this immersive episode of English Matura with JB, we’re teleporting you to Hungary—a land where:
- 19 counties hide wildly different landscapes (from the Great Plains to the Transdanubian Hills)
- Pálinka isn’t just a drink—it’s a family heirloom in liquid form
- Easter Monday involves perfume battles (yes, really!)
🏰 Budapest’s Must-See Marvels:

- Heroes’ Square: Where statues whisper Hungary’s turbulent history
- The Parliament Building: A neo-Gothic masterpiece that took 20 years to build
- Elizabeth Bridge: Europe’s first cable bridge, dancing between old and new
🎭 Traditions That’ll Make You Go "Tessék?":
- Busójárás: Scare winter away in demonic masks (and maybe grab some chimney cake after)
- Wedding Chaos: Pay to dance with the bride—it’s for her future riches!
- Namedays: Because one birthday a year just isn’t enough
🍽️ Foodie Alert:
- Goulash (but also lángos, stuffed cabbage, and chocolate-covered szaloncukor at Christmas) 💡
- Why Hungarians toss lentil seeds on New Year’s (hint: it involves luck and pork)
🎧 Perfect For Students Who:
- Need top marks on culture/tourism exam questions
- Want to sound worldly in speaking tests
