Date: 04 November 2025

Podcast Title: Hungary: Language Roots, Soviet History and Folk Music
Podcast can be listened to here.
Description from Sofia:
In this first episode, I chatted to Matt, a linguist and language teacher who's passionate about his Hungarian heritage.
We unpack the Turkic roots of Europe’s hardest language, touch upon Hungary’s Soviet history and how it shapes national identity today, the question of national pride in the context of Hungary’s current politics and, Hungarian folk music!
As mentioned in the podcast, Matt is beginning a Russian language refresher course for Russian language students looking to improve their Russian before they go on their year abroad. If you’re in this position and would like some extra tutoring contact Matt via his email: matt@steppewithconfidence.com
