We got our residency permits today!  Exhale.  Ahhhh.

~70 days + 30-some documents + 9 visits to government offices + ~12 hours of traveling to these offices + ~13 hours of waiting in lines + many hours of help from our friend Bob = 5 residency permits

Next April we can start the process all over again!  Actually, we learned some things about the process this year.  Hopefully things will be more efficient next year.  But no expectations!

Vidám MesékI’m currently reading “Vidám Mesék” (Happy Stories), a children’s book by Vlagyimir Syutyejev.  I never thought that reading about little ducks, kittens, and mice would be so challenging and intellectually stimulating.  Actually, this book is perfect for our stage of Hungarian.

VocabularyI’ve also picked up these awesome vocabulary cards.  Our system of learning vocabulary work fairly good, but I’m eager to work through this set of 1000 words.  Actually its about 3000 since they do a great job including synonyms and corresponding verb/noun/adjective forms.  They are actually designed for Hungarians learning English, but they work the other way around too.  Here’s a phrase I’m working on: “Valaki nagy örömére…” (Much to somone’s delight….).
