i think the passive way of learning english is more comfotable and more effective then you sit down with your exercisebook and to learn by rote!

It's true, but on the other hand: What's the exact passive learning? And you need just passive? No. You have to learn in the ordinary way ("sit down with your exercisebook and to learn by rote!" biggrin.gif ) What they forget to tell you in the school: USE it, and practise by yourself! So I think when you tired in the ordinary learning just start speaking. Like if you're mad or schizophrenic, that's the good word smile.gif And come here to practise with real people, too smile.gif Start read something in english: catch a copy of the Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince: on dc or somewhere smile.gif No matter if you don't like it: reading is the best way to learn new words and to expand your active word-inventory (or whatever biggrin.gif)! Or read something else... I just mentioned the british wizard boy, because I read it too and a plus thing to discuss is always good smile.gif Probably you'll use the same words to tell it or to tell your opinion, your thoughts about it what you read some hours ago. This will fix it in your mind, and you'll able to use them at any times from this time forth. So you'll learn words smile.gif

EVERYTHING written in english could be useful! If you have money for it, and you live in Bp, than try a foreign book store or the Libri Palota between Blaha and Astoria (Astoria is closer a bit...). On the 1st floor there are a whole bunch of english books: from sci-fi and philosophy throught arts and literature to eased stories and ordinary language books. And the 6th HP is 6e forints... so much for 600 medium pages. You can buy much more if you're clever and lucky a bit... smile.gif What type, what sort of books do you like? Fantasy or Sci-fi or other, I mean...

Oh, this is a great topic. I've just found it. smile.gif

Flame_of_Aiur: I've bought the sixth HP book, and I've really enjoyed that, and I think I will visit the closest Libri or Alexandra for an english book. Maybe I try a fantasy book, I don't know yet... I haven't tried to read a fantasy book in hungarian, so... maybe I shuldn't start with an english one. smile.gif

For a single and dark moment I addled you with jk345, but now... biggrin.gif Welcome here! smile.gif Forgotten Realms and similars maybe a good start... they aren't the best as I heard, but it depends on you too smile.gif I can advise you Arthur C. Clarke: well... everything what you found from him. There's no telling how magnificent and intresting... He knew something... smile.gif

Oh... Well, I think I will ask Gyu to change my name to JadenKorr or something... smile.gif I don't like this leet style, but the Jaden was used... sad.gif

I've heard about Forgotten Realms, so maybe I choose that... I don't know should I buy an english book... Because Harry Potter is a tale, a book for children... so it wasn't too difficult to read. But a really fantasy book...

Have you ever read the HP and the Philosopher's Stone? That was for children, but the 3rd one (Prisoner of Azkaban) was a turning point. Since then the story itself became darker and people who read it all along in english said to me that it become harder. So these days it's a real english book. And after some chapters of the Imperial Earth (Arthur C. Clarke's book) I can say it too... there is no sensible difference - exept that first is a fantasy and the second is sci-fi with a lot of physical description. HP has a lot of expression for the different types of speaking. And - generally - when someone/something makes sound or noise smile.gif And a lot of attributes. Do not try to seek out all of them from the dictionary... just read. You'll understand more than you first expect.

"You'll understand more than you first expect."

Yeah, I have felt this with the HP6.

Okay, but in hungarian I did not saw any differences between the books... but now, I won't buy the first hp book in english, I think I will try a fantasy or a sci-fi book.

"Do not try to seek out all of them from the dictionary... just read."

Ehh, I didn't used the dictionary too much while I read the Half-Blood Prince, I'm just seeked (?) out the most important words, anything else I understood from the word's environment.

auir: addled means to think of somebody but that smomebody is not who you think?

I hope you did understand that! biggrin.gif

You convinced me to buy hp! But i do not live in budapest! I live in Ukrania so... damn trianon sad.gif I was just kiddin' I live in Veszprém(oh this sentence was my favorite when i started to study this language!)

Hmm, and could you recommend me a fantasy book in english? I've not readed any fantasy book before, so I don't know what is good for beginning... unsure.gif

I think the best to start with is to start with the first fantasy book itself: Lord of the Rings! J.R.R.R.R... Tolkien the best!

I think so. The PFV was really good. Maybe in the future, we'll see real hungarian football.

of course!

The match was quite good int he first half of the second half I thought that we could win! I hope we will win against argentina!!

But the Real wasn't the REAL Real Madrid. So I think Argentina will be a more difficult opponent. But in my opinion, the Hungarian boys played quite good, but the goalkeeper was terrible.

Addled ~ mixed. Now? smile.gif And why you use did in a past positive sentence? Use the past form of understand instead of it! smile.gif Sorry but it's a too rookie mistake to step over...

Trianon is not for joke! And I doubt you read all FR books; so maybe you misjudge it...

Well if I want to emphasize something I usally find an alternate way; not some grammar tricks smile.gif That's why I never heard about this. No matter... biggrin.gif

Forgotten Realms is trash? ohmy.gifunsure.gif

Oh, it hurt my heart when i was reading it.

I know that not all of the FR books are good, but there are a lot of good series in stores, like War of the Spider Queen, Elminster, Dark Elf trilogy, Counselors and Kings, Evermeet, etc.

M.A.G.U.S. is good? huh.gif

The old books are great, yes, I like them very much, but nowadays MAGUS novels are terrible. I was excited, when I had heard that new MAGUS novels will be written, but after 3-4 novels I finished them because they were boring... So I think FR novels a little bit better, I am reading the Silver Shadows book at the moment, and it is a very good FR book by Elaine Cunningham. And I also play DnD, so I love the Forgotten Realms smile.gif

But the best fantasy book writer who lives in the 21st century is David Gemmell. All of his novels are exciting and qualitative. And I also like George R. R. Martin, who has a lot of good cycles, too.

But J.R.R. Tolkien is the best fantasy writer, he will be my favourite author forever! wink.gif
