Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: From Silence to Science: Árpád's Breakthrough Moment Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-11-02-08-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Budapest Tudományos Múzeum november elején különösen nyüzsgő volt.En: The Budapest Tudományos Múzeum was particularly bustling at the beginning of November.Hu: Az őszi levelek aranyszínűre festették a várost, és a diákok mindenfelé izgatottan fedezték fel a technológiai és természet kiállításokat.En: The autumn leaves painted the city in golden hues, and students excitedly explored the technology and nature exhibits everywhere.Hu: Az iskolai kirándulás napját arra az időszakra időzítették, amikor a múzeumban ünnepi programok is zajlottak, hiszen közeledett a mindenszentek napja.En: The school trip was scheduled for a period when there were festive programs at the museum, as All Saints' Day was approaching.Hu: Árpád, egy csendes, de kíváncsi fiú, lassan lépett be a nagy kapun.En: Árpád, a quiet but curious boy, slowly stepped through the large gate.Hu: Árpád a tudomány megszállottja volt.En: Árpád was obsessed with science.Hu: Mindig is álmodott arról, hogy egyszer tudósként dolgozik, mégis, a diáktársai között gyakran érezte magát magányosan.En: He always dreamed of working as a scientist one day, yet among his classmates, he often felt lonely.Hu: A közösségi helyzetek kihívást jelentettek számára.En: Social situations posed challenges for him.Hu: Eszter, az osztálytársa, nem volt ezzel így.En: Eszter, his classmate, was not like this.Hu: Vidám és energikus lányként mindenkivel szót értett.En: As a cheerful and energetic girl, she got along with everyone.Hu: Árpád már régóta remélte, hogy talál módot arra, hogy barátokat szerezzen, de félelmei mindig útjába álltak.En: Árpád had long hoped to find a way to make friends, but his fears always stood in the way.Hu: Zoltán tanár úr, a csoport vezetője, szeretett magával ragadó történeteket mesélni a tudományos csodákról.En: Zoltán tanár úr, the group leader, loved to tell captivating stories about scientific wonders.Hu: Ő is észrevette Árpád zárkózottságát, és aggódott érte.En: He also noticed Árpád's introversion and worried about him.Hu: Azelőtt sose sikerült közel kerülnie a gyerekhez, pedig úgy érezte, Árpádnak sok mondanivalója lenne.En: He had never managed to get close to the child, although he felt Árpád had a lot to say.Hu: A csoport végül megérkezett a vulkánok kiállításához.En: Eventually, the group arrived at the volcano exhibit.Hu: Az interaktív bemutatón egy laboráns megmutatta, hogyan tör ki egy miniatűr vulkán.En: During the interactive demonstration, a lab technician showed how a miniature volcano erupts.Hu: Árpád figyelt, de észrevett valamit, amit a bemutató során kihagytak.En: Árpád watched, but noticed something that was left out of the demonstration.Hu: A gyomra összeszorult, és hezitált.En: His stomach tightened, and he hesitated.Hu: Tudja, hogy el kellene mondania.En: He knew he should speak up.Hu: Ekkor Eszter felé fordult, aki érdeklődve figyelte a vulkánt.En: Then he turned to Eszter, who was watching the volcano intently.Hu: "Ez... valszuleg azért tör ki így, mert a nyomás miatt fölgyülemlik a magma," mondta Árpád halkan, de határozottan.En: "This... probably erupts like this because the magma accumulates due to pressure," said Árpád softly but firmly.Hu: Minden szem rászegeződött.En: All eyes were on him.Hu: Erőt merített magából, és folytatta.En: He gathered his strength and continued.Hu: „A magma a földkéreg belsejéből jön, és ha a nyomás elég nagy lesz, kitör...” magyarázta.En: "The magma comes from inside the Earth's crust, and when the pressure becomes high enough, it erupts..." he explained.Hu: Az érdeklődő tekintetek ösztönözték.En: The interested gazes encouraged him.Hu: Eszter mosolyogva bólogatott, és kérdéseket tett fel.En: Eszter nodded with a smile and asked questions.Hu: Lassan egy egész beszélgetés bontakozott ki köröttük.En: Slowly, an entire conversation unfolded around them.Hu: Több diáktársuk is csatlakozott, Zoltán pedig elégedetten figyelte, ahogy Árpád végre megnyílik.En: More classmates joined in, and Zoltán watched contentedly as Árpád finally opened up.Hu: A kirándulás végére Árpád már nem csak a tudomány miatt örült.En: By the end of the trip, Árpád was happy not just because of science.Hu: Először érezte, hogy igazán részese valaminek.En: For the first time, he felt like he was truly part of something.Hu: Eszter és a többiek ismerkedtek vele, és omlott le a fal közte és a világ között.En: Eszter and the others got to know him, and the wall between him and the world began to crumble.Hu: Megtalálta a bátorságát, és ma már nem csak a könyvek lapjain élt.En: He found his courage, and now he lived not just on the pages of books.Hu: Ahogy a nap lenyugodott a város felett, Árpád mosolyogva indult hazafelé.En: As the sun set over the city, Árpád headed home with a smile.Hu: A barátság és a tudomány iránti szenvedély most már kéz a kézben járt.En: Friendship and a passion for science now walked hand in hand.Hu: Tudta, hogy a jövőben nem lesz olyan magányos, mint korábban, és ez új fejezetet nyitott az életében.En: He knew he wouldn't be as lonely in the future as he had been before, and it opened a new chapter in his life.

Die ganz große Welt, eingefangen auf einer kleinen Insel, das Echo von Menschheitsverbrechen erschüttert das Leben von Nanning auf Amrum. Er ist 12 Jahre alt und versucht in den letzten Kriegstagen das Richtige zu tun. Aber was ist richtig, wenn alle die Niederlage des eigenen Landes erwarten, aber die eigene Mutter stramme Nationalsozialistin ist. Als die Nachricht von Hitlers Tod eintrifft, will Nanning seiner Mutter einen ganz einfachen und fast unmöglichen Wunsch erfüllen. Eine Scheibe Weißbrot mit Butter und Honig. Nanning stellt sich der herkulischen Herausforderung …Fatih Akin verfilmt in AMRUM die Kindheitserinnerungen von Hark Bohm und macht auf dieser kleinen Inselbühne so viel sichtbar: heimlicher Widerstand, eiskalter Faschismus, Hass auf die Vertriebenen, Freundschaft, Misstrauen und eine vergangene Welt mit eigener Sprache. Großartig besetzt, großartig gespielt. Wer sich an der konventionellen Erzählweise nicht stört, wird mit einer sehenswerten Perspektive auf die deutsche Geschichte belohnt. Am Mikrofon direkt nach dem Kino: Die Zeitzeugin Gisela, Heidi, Johanna, Anke, Marc, Hendrik und Thomas.

The Burdens of Leadership (October 30, 2025)5. More Than an Ally (October 31, 2025)---Episode 1: ReunionAfter her harrowing mountain journey and subsequent adventures, Maela returns to find more than just shelter within the Thieves' Tower. As she reunites with a transformed Darla, who has flourished in her absence, the weight of recent confrontations and dark promises made to Karch threaten to overshadow their tender moment. While Darla excitedly shares discoveries about their new home, Maela must reconcile the exhausting reality of her mission with the unexpected comfort of finding her own place in this fortress of secrets. But can this moment of peace last when shadows of conspiracy still linger?Episode 2: The Disturbing Truths of a Vacant MindDarla struggles to understand Prosper, a mysteriously damaged man whose seemingly innocent words may hold devastating power. As she divides her time between her love for Maela and her duty to watch over this enigmatic man, disturbing questions emerge about his true nature. Could his vacant-eyed observations about 'sad stones' and casual encounters be more than the ramblings of a broken mind? When Prosper speaks of the ancient Wizards with unexpected clarity, Darla must confront the possibility that his apparent madness masks something far more dangerous—and perhaps intentional.Episode 3: The Empty BoxLocked in Pietro's study, Raef and Kray wage war against an unbreakable cipher protecting a lifetime of secrets. As the frustrated dwarf tears through ancient texts, Raef's thief instincts lead him to an intriguing discovery - an empty box frame that might hold the key to cracking the code. But in a room full of hidden meanings and cryptic marginalia, could the absence of something be more important than what remains?Episode 4: The Burdens of LeadershipRogers, now hailed as the Hero of the Pit and future Guildmaster, confronts the uncomfortable reality of his new position within the Craft Guild. During a tense meeting with the imprisoned Alard, he wrestles with his identity as a thief forced to lead a bureaucratic organization he barely understands. As the political landscape of Ness teeters between Karch's maneuvering and Polo's revenge, Rogers must decide if he can transform from a master of shadows into the stabilizing force the city desperately needs.Episode 5: More Than an AllyFaced with an impossible choice, Ralan seeks counsel in the dead of night—from the one person who isn't entangled in Ness's web of politics. When Vesper proposes an alliance with his longtime nemesis Karch, Ralan must confront both childhood trauma and present-day political necessity. As he stands in Rebecca's candlelit doorway, the weight of the Guild's fate collides with unexpected feelings, forcing him to question everything he thought he knew about enemies, allies, and his own heart.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-thieves-guild--6141933/support.Some secrets are worth dying for.

His newest memoir, I'm Prancing as Fast as I Can, is a coming-of-age story about a scared boy, confused about his sexuality, who learns to accept himself, his queerness, and accomplish incredible artistic goals (including writing for the hit show Will & Grace)! It's also a sort of love letter for those who share the experience of frustration, turbulence, and eventually figure out how to blossom into their queerness. His book makes you both laugh and cry at the same time. Jon also talks about his experiences working on the hit shows Will and Grace and Ugly Betty (to name a few), and what it was like taking Betty Buckley's meditative acting class (oh he also saw the original Carrie Broadway musical so you know I had to ask him about that).

Учини нас поносним.“En: "You are smart and strong.

Set against the stark Utah desert, The Wilderness follows a group of teenage boys forced into a manipulative “wilderness therapy” program—where survival means more than just making it out alive.

She was the one to walk him past the column of hungry reporters demanding an explanation. The headline in The Daily News read: Back from a Watery Grave. But Natasha's experiences growing up with her schizophrenic father in the gritty New York City of the 1970s are not so easily captured in a single headline.Natasha Williams' new book, “The Parts of Him I Kept: The Gifts of My Father's Madness,” is an intimate account of coming of age in the face of a father's schizophrenic unraveling.

Send us a text to let us know what you think of the show! In this episode of We're Probably Not OK!, the boys take a time machine back to one of the most chaotic eras of their lives—high school. Brandon, Ryan, and David dig into who they were back then versus who they've become (for better or worse). Along the way, they uncover a shocking revelation: David might have been the most mentally stable one of the group. Yes, really. From cringeworthy embarrassments to legendary hijinks, the trio relives the glory days of the Justice Geek League—their unofficial (and highly unqualified) high school squad of weirdness, friendship, and questionable decision-making. They talk about what they believed, what they feared, how they coped, and how adulthood has either changed them entirely… or not at all. It's nostalgic, goofy, and surprisingly heartfelt—a reminder that growing up is weird, friendship is messy, and the past is always a little more unhinged than we remember. Welcome back to the halls of teenage chaos.

Mais do que uma entrevista com detalhes sobre os bastidores da produção, o programa fala sobre a nostalgia da época em que a história se passa, estilo cinematográfico, a influência de Hollywood e a importância de haver mais filmes para crianças e adolescentes feitos no Brasil. - Visite a página do podcast no site e confira material extra sobre o tema do episódio - Junte-se ao Cineclube Cinematório e tenha acesso a conteúdo exclusivo de cinema Confira a minutagem em que cada assunto é abordado: 00:03:58 - O início de tudo: como a vontade de fazer o filme surgiu 00:13:29 - A parceira com Thiago Macêdo Correia no roteiro 00:17:48 - A trilha sonora criada por John Ulhoa e Richard Neves, do Pato Fu 00:22:17 - O videogame como referência na música e na imagem 00:28:26 - A influência de Hollywood e importância de haver mais filmes para crianças e adolescentes feitos no Brasil 00:40:46 - Estilo de direção e ritmo na construção das cenas 00:49:41 - Como Matheus Sampaio foi escalado para viver Erik 00:55:24 - As escolhas por Daniel Victor e Tatiana Costa para os papéis de Cassinho e Cristão 01:09:16 - O convite inesperado para Camila Morena interpretar a mãe de Erik 01:14:50 - A direção de arte e a produção de objetos de época 01:27:33 - A narração e a ponta de Maurilio e do filho no filme 01:31:35 - Os próximos projetos Situado em 1991, "O Último Episódio" é inspirado nas memórias de Maurilio Martins, que nasceu, cresceu e ainda vive no Jardim Laguna, bairro periférico de Contagem onde a história se desenrola.

"I don't want to be whatever version of masculinity y'all keep telling me I have to be. Why are all the benchmarks violent and aggressive? I don't wanna do it. I'm not interested” — Jason ReynoldsWe all inherit scripts about who we're supposed to be. For boys, they often center on toughness, aggression, and hiding their emotions. Jason Reynolds has spent his life questioning those scripts, carving out space for tenderness and love, honoring friendships that offered freedom, and exploring what masculinity might mean beyond the narrow definitions passed down to us. Jason Reynolds is a national treasure. A Newbery Medal winner, a National Book Award finalist, a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, and a two-time National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, he is the beloved author of “Ghost,” “Long Way Down,” “Look Both Ways,” “Twenty-four Seconds From Now,” and so many more. Jason brings expansiveness to his books, illuminating the gentleness, humor, and vulnerability too often left out of stories of boyhood. In this episode, Jason shares his thoughts on masculinity: the good, the bad, and the beautiful. He explains why everyone needs to have a 'tuning fork' friend, reveals how Saturn flipped his life around at age 30, and pays an incredible tribute to the tattooed biker badass who was his loving father.Settle in for a vulnerable, revelatory conversation with an icon of American literature. ***For his reading challenge, Challenging Conventions, Jason has curated a collection of books that push back against the narrow definitions of boyhood and girlhood many of us have come to live by. Peruse selected titles and Jason's full reading challenge for free at thereadingculturepod.com/jason-reynolds.***This week's Beanstack Featured Librarians are not actually librarians, but they are integral members of the literary community who are pioneers when it comes to student voice and writing.
