Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Heartbroken after being jilted at the altar Ava, a straight-talking urban art gallery manager, takes her honeymoon anyway and meets a charming European gentleman who shares her passion for art. However, trust and deception are an issue.

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! In our last episode, we talked about how the Visigoths came to be: forged in the fire of the Gothic War of 376-382 and the immigration crisis that went along with it. Now, we'll take a look at what happened to their kin who stayed on the northern side of the Danube—the Greuthungi who were not allowed to cross. What happened to them was 75 years under Hunnic dominion.   This time changed them. Some were brutally exploited. Still others were enriched beyond their wildest imaginings, riding at the head of a Wild Hunt that devoured all in its path—utnil, when next they met their kin who crossed the Danube, it was on opposite sides of a battlefield.   Join us as we map the rise of the Ostrogoths.

Bulletin d'actualités. Bien que le village de Klenovec dans le district de Rimavská Sobota soit un lieu ou le plus célebre brigand slovaque Juraj Jánošík a été capturé il y a trois siecles, l'intéret des touristes pour la région ne reflete pas ce fait. A cause du changement climatique et du réchauffement, la Slovaquie a perdu son attraction, l'un de ses joyaux naturels. Dans la grotte de glace de Demänovská apres presque 200 ans, nous ne trouvons plus aucune trace de glace. En mars, 1909, un premier petit bateau a vapeur a commencé a traverser le Danube a Bratislava, en faisant la navette entre les deux rives du fleuve. Que sont devenus les propelers aujourd'hui ?

"You could spill vast rivers of blue Danube ink try to encapsulate the enduring brilliance of Vienna and all that it has lavished on the world. It's the city that vaulted Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Strauss and his waltz into the world's consciousness. The city that unleashed the genius of Freud, published the world's first newspaper, conceived the delicious Torte, and was the powerbase for the imperial Hapsburgs. Vienna remains a city of culture, class and beauty; of churches, castles and concert halls." Read Mike's full article here. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: The Foggy Adventure: Exploring Kalemegdan Fortress Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-04-05-22-34-01-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Калемегданска тврђава је данас била у облацима магле, а ваздух је мирисао на рано пролећно цвеће.En: The Kalemegdan Fortress was shrouded in fog today, and the air smelled of early spring flowers.Sr: Душан и Милан су стајали на улазу, гледајући у величанствене зидове.En: Dušan and Milan stood at the entrance, gazing at the magnificent walls.Sr: Осећало се да би киша могла пасти сваког тренутка, али Душан није марио.En: It felt like rain might fall at any moment, but Dušan didn't care.Sr: Његове очи су сијале од ишчекивања авантуре.En: His eyes shone with the anticipation of adventure.Sr: „Хајде, Милане”, рекао је Душан, узбуђен као дете на ускршње јутро.En: "Come on, Milane," said Dušan, excited as a child on Easter morning.Sr: „Ово је савршен дан за истраживање!En: "This is the perfect day for exploring!"Sr: ”„Могли бисмо се изгубити.En: "We could get lost.Sr: А киша ће сигурно почети”, одговорио је Милан, гледајући сумњиво у тамне облаке.En: And the rain will surely start," replied Milan, looking suspiciously at the dark clouds.Sr: Ипак, нешто у резолутној одлучности Душановог гласа натерало га је да пристане.En: Yet, something in the resolute determination of Dušan's voice made him agree.Sr: Док су улазили у тврђаву, пролазили су кроз зелене стазе окружене трешњиним цветовима у бујном цвату.En: As they entered the fortress, they walked through green paths surrounded by cherry blossoms in full bloom.Sr: Душан је радозналог духа одмах предложио да прво оду до Природњачког музеја.En: With a curious spirit, Dušan immediately suggested they visit the Nature Museum first.Sr: „Хоће ли нас затећи киша док дођемо тамо?En: "Will the rain catch us before we get there?"Sr: ” упитао је Милан.En: Milan asked.Sr: „Можда бисмо требали кренути од најближег дела.En: "Maybe we should start with the nearest part."Sr: ”Али Душан је њежно убедио пријатеља: „Не брините, Милане.En: But Dušan gently persuaded his friend: "Don't worry, Milane.Sr: Биће забавно без обзира на време.En: It will be fun regardless of the weather."Sr: ” Милан је дубоко удахнуо и пристао, постављајући границе само да се не би превише удаљили од главних стаза.En: Milan took a deep breath and agreed, setting boundaries just to ensure they wouldn't stray too far from the main paths.Sr: Како су се приближавали врху тврђаве, облаци су се све више згушњавали, а у даљини се чуо заглушујући грмљавински звук.En: As they approached the top of the fortress, the clouds thickened, and a deafening thunderous sound could be heard in the distance.Sr: Стигли су до самог врха, где се пружао невероватан поглед на уједињење Саве и Дунава.En: They reached the very top, where an incredible view of the Sava and Danube rivers united.Sr: Милан је са опрезом гледао облаке, али Душан је стајао на ивици, потпуно занесен погледом.En: Milan watched the clouds cautiously, but Dušan stood on the edge, completely captivated by the view.Sr: „Остајемо овде, Милане.En: "We're staying here, Milane.Sr: Погледај како је зapanjujuće,” узвикнуо је Душан.En: Look how breathtaking it is," exclaimed Dušan.Sr: И док су стајали ту, загрљени ветром и жаокама кише, обојица су осетили унутрашњи мир.En: And while they stood there, embraced by the wind and the stings of rain, they both felt an inner peace.Sr: Мало ризика их је довело до овог непроцењивог тренутка.En: A little risk had led them to this priceless moment.Sr: Када је киша коначно почела да лије, потрчали су смејући се, трчећи до првог кафића.En: When the rain finally began to pour, they ran, laughing, to the nearest café.Sr: Седели су тамо, мокри али задовољни, згрлјивши шоље топлог чаја.En: They sat there, wet but satisfied, clutching cups of hot tea.Sr: Милан је погледао Душана и рекао: „Можда је мало авантуре управо оно што ми је требало.En: Milan looked at Dušan and said, "Maybe a little adventure was exactly what I needed.Sr: Хвала ти.En: Thank you."Sr: ”Смешећи се, Душан је одговорио: „И ја сам научио нешто важно о сигурности и важности твоје опрезности.En: Smiling, Dušan replied, "I also learned something important about safety and the value of your caution."Sr: ” Обоица су схватили колико њихова пријатељства и заједничка искуства доприносе богатству живота.En: Both realized how much their friendship and shared experiences enriched their lives.Sr: И док су кишне капи мирно падале, они су тихо планирали где ће им бити следећа авантура.En: And as the raindrops quietly fell, they silently planned where their next adventure would be.

À l'occasion de la Journée mondiale de l'eau, le 22 mars, BSG rediffuse cette série de Petit Poisson deviendra Podcast dédiée aux plus gros poissons d'eau douce.  Le Silure est le plus gros poisson d'eau douce en Europe. Le record actuel est de 2,80 m pour 130 kg., des légendes non vérifiables évoquent des spécimens de 5 m!!Avec les Poissons-chats, il fait partie de l'ordre des siluriformes. Cet ordre rassemble le quart des espèces de poissons d'eau douce, soient 3000 espèces (1 vertébré sur 20 est un siluriforme !).Le Silure est parfois confondu avec le Poisson-chat, surnommés ainsi à cause de leurs barbillons, qui ressemblent aux moustaches d'un Chat. Mais attention ! le Poisson-chat, même s'il lui ressemble, fait partie d'une autre famille de poissons, les ictaluridés.Il y a 16 espèces de Silures dans le monde. Le Silure glane (Silurus glanis) est l'espèce la plus répandue en France. Il est originaire des pays de l'Europe orientale, des bords du Danube et des cours d'eau bordant les mers Caspienne et Baltique.Le Silure n'a pas d'écailles, sa peau est recouverte de mucus. Sa bouche énorme est entourée de lignes de très petites dents. Le Silure ne peut pas trancher une proie, il l'aspire et la digère. Bim bam sans fioritures…Ce géant est omnivore et se nourrit surtout au crépuscule et la nuit de poissons, crustacés, amphibiens, parfois de petits oiseaux et de micro-mammifères. À Albi, dans le Tarn, le silure s'échoue volontairement pour choper des pigeons venant s'abreuver.Sa voracité est parfois dénoncée, mais d'après des études récentes, il n'est pas aussi vorace que l'on veut bien le dire. Il est notamment cannibale, ce qui entraîne une régulation de l'espèce. Il paraît donc exagéré voire faux de le classer parmi les espèces nuisibles.Le Silure est revenu en France par la Saône. Il s'est ensuite retrouvé dans le Rhône puis a colonisé l'ensemble du territoire par les canaux et des introductions illégales.Ce poisson est comestible et même bon, mais attention ! C'est un “bioaccumulateur”: il vit longtemps, en haut de la chaîne alimentaire, et stocke les métaux lourds, des pesticides et des PCB dans ses graisses. _______

Midday bells chiming at the 14th-century Matthias Church in Budapest. The church has 7 bells. Six of them are located in the bell tower and the last damaged bell hangs in the cavalry tower. Three of the tower's bells are historic bells (from years 1723, 1724 and 1891). The church received four new bells in 2010, and at that time the St. Károly bell sound correction took place. The sound is colossal and impressive.  UNESCO listing: Budapest, including the Banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter and Andrássy Avenue Recorded by Cities and Memory.  ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

Annas nach innen gerichtete Zerstörungswut nimmt ihr schließlich das, was sie am meisten liebt: ihr Geigenspiel. Wie kann es für Anna jetzt weiter gehen? Ihre Therapeutin bietet an, die Therapie zu intensivieren – unter einer Bedingung. Anna findet einen Job, doch statt eines Neuanfangs gerät sie in ein vertrautes Muster aus Macht und Unterwerfung.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Reconnecting in Budapest: A Family's Heartfelt Reunion Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-03-07-23-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A tavaszi levegő frissessége érezhető volt Budapesten, ahogy a nap sugarai megcsillantak a Duna vizén.En: The freshness of the spring air was palpable in Budapest as the sun's rays glistened on the Danube's waters.Hu: A város egyik modern felhőkarcolójának tetején egy panorámás étteremben családi összejövetelt tartottak.En: On the roof of one of the city's modern skyscrapers, a family gathering was held in a panoramic restaurant.Hu: Az ünnepélyes alkalom az Internacionális Nőnap volt, és a hölgyek mosolygós arca csak tovább emelte az esemény színvonalát.En: The celebratory occasion was International Women's Day, and the smiling faces of the women only elevated the event's atmosphere.Hu: Árpád, középkorú férfi, az üvegfalhoz állt, és lenézett a lüktető városra.En: Árpád, a middle-aged man, stood by the glass wall and looked down at the pulsating city.Hu: Budapesten nőtt fel, de az évek során a karrierje és az utazásai elszakították a családjától.En: He had grown up in Budapest, but over the years, his career and travels had distanced him from his family.Hu: Titokban mindig is vágyott arra, hogy újra közelebb kerüljön hozzájuk, különösen a nőkhöz, akiket úgy tisztelt, de ritkán mondta el.En: Secretly, he always longed to be closer to them again, especially to the women he so respected, but rarely expressed it.Hu: Kisfiúként még értette, hogy a nőnap miért fontos, de most, felnőttként, a jelentősége teljesen más volt számára.En: As a little boy, he understood why Women's Day was important, but now, as an adult, its significance was completely different for him.Hu: A családja már gyülekezett az asztal körül.En: His family was already gathering around the table.Hu: Katalin, az unokatestvére, nevetett valamin, amit Zsolt, az öccse, mondott.En: Katalin, his cousin, laughed at something Zsolt, her younger brother, had said.Hu: Árpád habozott. Félt a visszautasítástól.En: Árpád hesitated. He feared rejection.Hu: Félő volt, hogy a távolságot senki sem akarja áthidalni vele.En: He worried that no one would want to bridge the distance with him.Hu: Önkéntelenül vett egy mély levegőt, majd mégis elhatározta magát.En: He involuntarily took a deep breath, then made up his mind.Hu: Amikor mindenki leült, és az italok előttük gőzölögtek, Árpád felállt egy pohárral a kezében.En: When everyone had seated and their drinks steamed in front of them, Árpád stood up with a glass in his hand.Hu: Minden tekintet rászegeződött. Egy kis csend támadt köztük.En: All eyes turned to him. A small silence fell among them.Hu: Árpád hangja remegős volt, amikor megszólalt: "Szeretnék köszönetet mondani mindannyiótoknak, különösen a csodálatos nőknek az életünkben.En: Árpád's voice was shaky as he began: "I would like to thank all of you, especially the wonderful women in our lives.Hu: Bár sokszor úgy tűnhetett, hogy távol vagyok, mindig is itt voltatok a szívemben..."En: Though it may have often seemed that I was far away, you were always in my heart..."Hu: Ahogy beszélt, a szavak könnyebben jöttek.En: As he spoke, the words came more easily.Hu: Katalin szemében könny csillant meg, Zsolt bátorító pillantást vetett rá.En: A tear glistened in Katalin's eyes, and Zsolt gave him an encouraging look.Hu: Árpád folytatta: "Szeretném pótolni az elvesztegetett időt.En: Árpád continued: "I want to make up for the lost time.Hu: Szeretnék aktív része lenni az életeteknek, ha megengeditek."En: I wish to be an active part of your lives, if you allow me."Hu: A család tagjai szinte egyszerre emelték poharaikat egy melegszívű összekoccanásra.En: The family members raised their glasses almost simultaneously for a warm-hearted clink.Hu: Árpád ereje átsugárzott a többiekre is, amikor hallotta Katalin szavait: "Kezdetnek mi lenne, ha sétálnánk egyet a Duna partján?"En: Árpád's strength radiated to the others as he heard Katalin say: "As a start, how about we take a walk along the Danube's banks?"Hu: A tervet gyorsan alakították, és Árpád érezte, hogy az évek alatt épített falak kezdtek leomlani.En: They quickly formed the plan, and Árpád felt that the walls he had built over the years began to crumble.Hu: Meleg tavaszi fény ölelte körül őket, miközben sok év után először érezte, hogy hazaért.En: The warm spring light embraced them, and for the first time in many years, he felt he had come home.Hu: Az összetartozás érzése szívében eddig sosem tapasztalt erőt adott neki.En: The sense of belonging gave him a strength in his heart he had never experienced before.Hu: Budapest, az alatta elterülő város, csak fokozta ezt az újfajta életörömöt.En: Budapest, the city sprawling below, only intensified this newfound joy in life.

This is the man that even contemporaries referred to as THE LAST ROMAN.  Only son of General Gaudentius, born in Durostorum, a frontier fortress on the Danube, Aetius, he wound up in the West after his father fought under Emperor Theodosius at the Frigidus.  From there he found himself on a fast track that would send him as a hostage to Alaric and the Goths, and from there to Uldin and the Huns where he would grow up amongst Rome's most fearsome enemies.  When he was released by the Huns in his early 30's and returned to Ravenna, there was no man that had the knowledge of those enemies like Aetius, something that the Empress, Galla Placidia, knew all too well, as did his enemies at court...

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Love and History: A Journey Through Buda Castle's Romance Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-02-23-23-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: András a busz ablakán át nézte a Buda várat, ahogyan a hópelyhek finoman hullottak a földre.En: András watched the Buda Castle through the bus window as snowflakes gently fell to the ground.Hu: A vár hatalmas és lenyűgöző volt, a történelem szelleme minden kőben benne rejlett.En: The castle was massive and impressive, with the spirit of history embedded in every stone.Hu: András imádta a történelmet és az építészetet.En: András loved history and architecture.Hu: Olyan helyeken akart sétálni, ahol történelmi alakok is jártak egykor.En: He wanted to walk in places where historical figures once roamed.Hu: De most más is foglalkoztatta.En: But now, something else occupied his mind.Hu: Dóra ott ült a busz végében, és András mindig szerette volna megismerni.En: Dóra sat at the back of the bus, and András had always wanted to get to know her.Hu: Amikor a csoport megérkezett a várhoz, András érezte a hideg levegőt az arcán.En: When the group arrived at the castle, András felt the cold air on his face.Hu: Balázs, a legjobb barátja, mellé lépett.En: Balázs, his best friend, stepped beside him.Hu: "Ne aggódj, Andris," mondta vidáman, "szólni fogok Dórának, hogy jöjjön veled sétálni.En: "Don't worry, Andris," he said cheerfully, "I'll tell Dóra to come walk with you."Hu: "András nem tudta, hogy ez jó ötlet-e, de titokban remélte, hogy Balázs bátorsága segít.En: András wasn't sure if this was a good idea, but he secretly hoped that Balázs's courage would help.Hu: Ahogy a csoport elindult a vár falai között, András próbálta megtalálni a megfelelő pillanatot, hogy Dórához közeledjen.En: As the group set out within the castle walls, András tried to find the right moment to approach Dóra.Hu: A csoportvezető éppen a vár történetéről mesélt, amikor András odalépett Dórához.En: The group leader was just talking about the castle's history when András stepped up to Dóra.Hu: "Szeretnél megnézni egy csendesebb részt?En: "Would you like to see a quieter part?"Hu: " kérdezte félénken.En: he asked shyly.Hu: "Van egy remek hely, ahonnan gyönyörű a kilátás a Dunára.En: "There's a great spot with a beautiful view of the Danube."Hu: "Dóra mosolygott, és bólintott.En: Dóra smiled and nodded.Hu: "Persze, menjünk!En: "Sure, let's go!"Hu: " válaszolta.En: she replied.Hu: András szíve hevesen dobogott, ahogy együtt sétáltak távolabb a csoporttól.En: András' heart beat faster as they walked away from the group together.Hu: A vár egyik eldugott sarkában megálltak.En: They stopped in a hidden corner of the castle.Hu: A Duna csendesen hömpölygött alattuk, és a hó ismét esni kezdett.En: The Danube flowed silently below them, and the snow began to fall again.Hu: A hópelyhek puhán ereszkedtek alá, csillogtak a csillagfényben.En: The snowflakes softly descended, sparkling in the starlight.Hu: András úgy érezte, mintha megállt volna az idő.En: András felt as if time had stopped.Hu: "Mindig is szerettem a történelmet," mondta végül, megszakítva a csendet.En: "I've always loved history," he finally said, breaking the silence.Hu: "Ez a hely annyi történetet rejt.En: "This place holds so many stories."Hu: "Dóra bólintott.En: Dóra nodded.Hu: "Én a művészetet szeretem," válaszolta.En: "I love art," she replied.Hu: "Mindig látok valami szép és inspiráló dolgot.En: "I always find something beautiful and inspiring."Hu: "András egy pillanatra elcsendesedett, majd újra elővette a bátorságát.En: András fell silent for a moment, then gathered his courage again.Hu: "Talán meglátogathatnánk egyszer együtt egy múzeumot," javasolta.En: "Perhaps we could visit a museum together sometime," he suggested.Hu: Dóra mosolya szélesebb lett.En: Dóra's smile widened.Hu: "Nagyon szívesen," mondta.En: "I'd love that," she said.Hu: Ahogy visszatértek a csoporthoz, András úgy érezte, hogy valami megváltozott.En: As they returned to the group, András felt that something had changed.Hu: A beszélgetése könnyedebb volt, és úgy érezte, megtalálta a kapcsolatot, amit keresett.En: His conversation was lighter, and he felt he had found the connection he was looking for.Hu: Dóra iránti érzései erősödtek, és tudta, hogy ez csak a kezdete valami szépnek.En: His feelings for Dóra grew stronger, and he knew this was just the beginning of something beautiful.Hu: A tél hidege ellenére András szívét melegség töltötte el.En: Despite the winter chill, András' heart was filled with warmth.Hu: Megértette, hogy néha a legnagyobb bátorság az első lépésben rejlik.En: He understood that sometimes the greatest courage lies in taking the first step.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: A Budapest Love Story: An Evening at Halászbástya Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-02-12-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A gyertyafényes éjjel halkan köszöntött Budapestre, ahogy a Várnegyed felett a hónapok óta fagyos levegő teli volt szeretettel.En: The candlelit night quietly greeted Budapest, as the months-long frosty air over the Várnegyed was filled with love.Hu: A Halászbástya impozáns alakja a télies táj fölé magasodott.En: The impressive figure of the Halászbástya towered over the wintry landscape.Hu: Neo-gótikus tornyai és a hóval borított teraszai különleges látványt nyújtottak, ahol a város fényei az éjszakában tündököltek.En: Its neo-gothic towers and snow-covered terraces offered a unique view, where the city's lights shone in the night.Hu: Zoltán mély levegőt vett, miközben Évára várt.En: Zoltán took a deep breath while waiting for Éva.Hu: Ez az első randevújuk volt, ráadásul Valentin-nap.En: This was their first date, and moreover, it was Valentine's Day.Hu: Zoltán, aki a történelem és az építészet szerelmese, úgy gondolta, nem is találhatna szebb helyet egy romantikus találkozóra.En: Zoltán, a lover of history and architecture, thought he couldn't have found a more beautiful place for a romantic meeting.Hu: Mégis, a szíve gyorsabban vert az izgalomtól és a bizonytalanságtól.En: Yet, his heart was beating faster from excitement and uncertainty.Hu: Éva megérkezett.En: Éva arrived.Hu: Élénk mosollyal üdvözölte Zoltánt, és kíváncsian méregette a környezetet.En: She greeted Zoltán with a bright smile and curiously surveyed the surroundings.Hu: „Miért pont a Halászbástya?” - kérdezte mosolyogva.En: "Why the Halászbástya?" she asked with a smile.Hu: Zoltán zavartan elmagyarázta, hogy gyerekkorában, amikor szüleivel ide látogattak, mindig elbűvölte a hely szépsége.En: Zoltán explained awkwardly that as a child, when he visited the place with his parents, he was always captivated by its beauty.Hu: Ahogy együtt sétáltak, Zoltán érezte, hogy dicséretes képessége beszélni az épületek múltjáról nem elég ahhoz, hogy kifejezze valódi érzéseit.En: As they walked together, Zoltán felt that his admirable ability to talk about the buildings' history was not enough to express his true feelings.Hu: Számára azonban ez több volt, mint egy falakba zárt történet; ez volt a bátorság próbája, hogy megnyíljon Évának.En: For him, this was more than a story confined within walls; it was a test of courage to open up to Éva.Hu: Péter, a legjobb barátja, ugyan nem volt vele, de szavával és támogatásával ott lebegett Zoltán mellett.En: Péter, his best friend, was not with him, but his words and support hovered beside Zoltán.Hu: "Egyszerűen legyél önmagad!" tanácsolta neki korábban.En: "Just be yourself!" he had advised him earlier.Hu: A terasz szélén megálltak, a kilátás lélegzetelállító volt.En: They stopped at the edge of the terrace; the view was breathtaking.Hu: A Duna csillogó vizén párolgó hideg éjszaki levegő megváltoztatta körülöttük a világot.En: The cold northern air evaporating from the sparkling waters of the Danube altered the world around them.Hu: "Én néha küzdök az érzéseimmel," kezdte Zoltán halkan, szavai remegtek a tél hűvösében.En: "I sometimes struggle with my feelings," Zoltán began softly, his words trembling in the cold of winter.Hu: Éva csendben hallgatta, majd melegen megszorította Zoltán kezét.En: Éva listened silently, then warmly squeezed Zoltán's hand.Hu: "Én is," válaszolta lágyan.En: "I do too," she replied gently.Hu: "Szeretem, hogy őszinte vagy."En: "I love that you're honest."Hu: Ez a pár szó többet jelentett Zoltán számára, mint bármi más: megnyitotta számára a kaput egy új világ felé, ahol az igaz oltalomra és megértésre talált.En: Those few words meant more to Zoltán than anything else; they opened a gate to a new world for him, where he found true shelter and understanding.Hu: A nyelvük, amellyel a legmélyebb gondolatokat tárgyalják, lényegében a csend lett, amely mégis mindent jelentett.En: Their language, with which they discussed the deepest thoughts, essentially became silence, which nevertheless meant everything.Hu: Az éjszaka folyamán még sokat beszélgettek.En: Throughout the night, they talked a lot.Hu: Közben a hideg fokozatosan átszőtte a világot, de szívüket valami más, mélyebb melegség tartotta ébren.En: Meanwhile, the cold gradually wove through the world, but their hearts were kept awake by something else, a deeper warmth.Hu: Amikor elváltak, megígérték egymásnak, hogy találkoznak mindenképpen újra.En: When they parted, they promised each other that they would definitely meet again.Hu: Zoltán már nem csak a Halászbástya tornyait csodálta, hanem érezte, hogy valami különleges kezdődött el közöttük.En: Zoltán was no longer just admiring the towers of the Halászbástya, but felt that something special had begun between them.Hu: Nemcsak a város fénye világította meg útjukat, hanem az új lehetőségek is, amelyeket az őszinteség hozott el nekik.En: Not only did the city's lights illuminate their path, but also the new opportunities brought to them by honesty.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Finding Home: A Winter's Tale of Love and Heritage in Budapest Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-02-05-23-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A friss téli levegő csípős volt a Halászbástya körül, ahová a turisták különféle kabátokban gyűltek össze, hogy gyönyörködjenek Budapest páratlan panorámájában.En: The crisp winter air was biting around the Halászbástya, where tourists in various coats gathered to admire the unmatched panorama of Budapest.Hu: A bástyát finoman belepte a hó, mintha cukorral szórták volna meg.En: The bastion was gently covered in snow, as if sprinkled with sugar.Hu: Nem messze a láncok között örvénylő Dunától, a budai várhegyén állva, Balázs csendesen figyelte a város életét.En: Not far from the swirling Danube between the chains, standing on the Buda castle hill, Balázs quietly observed the life of the city.Hu: Balázs, egy magyar származású fiatalember, aki külföldön nőtt fel, most izgatottan próbálta megtalálni a kapcsolatot gyökereivel.En: Balázs, a young man of Hungarian descent who grew up abroad, was now eagerly trying to connect with his roots.Hu: Eszter, a lelkes helyi idegenvezető, éppen a csoportját vezette.En: Eszter, the enthusiastic local tour guide, was leading her group.Hu: Mosolya már messziről látszott, miközben a turisták figyelmét próbálta lekötni érdekes történetekkel.En: Her smile was visible from afar as she tried to capture the tourists' attention with interesting stories.Hu: Eszter célja mindig az volt, hogy megmutassa az igazi Magyarországot, túllépve a szokásos turistalátványosságokon.En: Eszter's goal was always to showcase the real Hungary, going beyond the usual tourist attractions.Hu: Mikor a csoport összegyűlt a Halászbástya egyik teraszán, Eszter elkezdte magyarázni a hely történelmét.En: When the group gathered on one of the terraces of the Halászbástya, Eszter began explaining the history of the place.Hu: Balázs, bár szótlanul hallgatta, hamar rájött, hogy érdeklődése elapadhatatlan, így megkérdezte Esztertől: "Mit jelentenek a bástya különleges díszítőelemei?En: Although silent, Balázs soon realized that his interest was inexhaustible, so he asked Eszter, "What do the unique decorative elements of the bastion represent?"Hu: "Eszter rápillantott, felfedezve Balázs kíváncsiságát.En: Eszter glanced over, noticing Balázs' curiosity.Hu: A rövid válasz után Balázs bátran megosztotta saját gondolatait az építészet szépségéről és a magyar kultúrához való kötődéséről.En: After a brief response, Balázs boldly shared his own thoughts on the beauty of architecture and his connection to Hungarian culture.Hu: Eszter, észrevétlenül, úgy érezte, hogy a formális konzervatív szabályok lazán tudnak elhalványulni, amikor valódi kapcsolat szövődik.En: Unnoticed, Eszter felt that the formal conservative rules could effortlessly fade when a genuine connection was woven.Hu: A túra végén Eszter felajánlotta Balázsnak, hogy ha szeretné, szívesen körbevezeti őt a város még kevésbé ismert zugaiban.En: At the end of the tour, Eszter offered Balázs a private tour of the city's lesser-known corners if he wished.Hu: Bár tudta, hogy ez nem felel meg teljesen a munkája szabályainak, érezte, hogy ezúttal érdemes kockáztatnia.En: Although she knew this did not entirely align with her job's rules, she felt it was worth the risk this time.Hu: Ahogy órákkal később a Dunára néztek egy csendes sarokból, ahol a hó még inkább bekucorodott az épületek szegleteiben, Balázs óriási hálát érzett.En: Hours later, as they gazed at the Danube from a quiet corner where the snow nestled even more into the crevices of the buildings, Balázs felt immense gratitude.Hu: Eszter mellett nem csak egy idegen városban, hanem életében is otthon kezdett érezni magát.En: Beside Eszter, he began to feel at home not just in a foreign city, but in his life.Hu: Kacagva cseréltek elérhetőségeket, amikor a távolban megszólalt a harang, jelezve a Valentín nap estéjét.En: Laughing, they exchanged contact information as the bells chimed in the distance, announcing the evening of Valentine's Day.Hu: Balázs és Eszter tekintete találkozott, és mindketten tudták, hogy ez több volt, mint egy átlagos találkozás.En: Balázs and Eszter's eyes met, and they both knew this was more than an average encounter.Hu: Balázs most nyitottabb volt a világra, és Eszter is, hogy követhesse ösztöneit.En: Balázs was now more open to the world, and so was Eszter, to follow her instincts.Hu: A köztük kialakuló kapcsolat ígérete a friss hó alatt rejtőzve már szunnyadó tavaszt jelzett, és mindketten izgatottan várták az új kezdetet.En: The promise of the connection blossoming between them, hidden under the fresh snow, heralded the approaching spring, and they both eagerly anticipated the new beginning.
