Fotós szeretnék lenni — fejezte be végül Zsombor, nagyot sóhajtva.En: "I've decided... to quit my engineering job. I want to become a photographer," Zsombor finally finished, letting out a big sigh.Hu: A csendet csak a hullámok csendes morajlása törte meg, míg mindenki az új információt emésztette.En: The silence was broken only by the gentle murmur of the waves as everyone digested the new information.Hu: Zsombor aggódva figyelte, Katalin hogyan reagál.En: Zsombor watched anxiously to see how Katalin would react.Hu: De ami történt, arra nem számított. Katalin elmosolyodott, és megszorította Zsombor kezét.En: But what happened, he didn't expect. Katalin smiled and squeezed Zsombor's hand.Hu: — Büszke vagyok rád — mondta. — Bátorság kell ahhoz, hogy kövesd az álmaidat. Támogatni foglak, bármerre is vezessen ez az út.En: "I'm proud of you," she said. "It takes courage to follow your dreams. I will support you wherever this path leads."Hu: Zsombor szíve megtelt boldogsággal.En: Zsombor's heart filled with happiness.Hu: Péter megveregette a vállát, és elégedetten bólintott.En: Péter patted his shoulder and nodded contentedly.Hu: Miközben a nap alábukott a Balaton felett, Zsombor rájött, hogy igaz barátsággal és szeretettel nem kell félnie.En: As the sun set over Lake Balaton, Zsombor realized that with true friendship and love, he didn't need to be afraid.Hu: A támogatás ott rejlik azokban, akik igazán törődnek vele.En: Support lies in those who truly care about him.

In this episode of Rising Voices of Fundraising: The Emerging Leaders Podcast, our 2025 Outstanding Young Professional award recipients share the strategies that led to amazing fundraising results, as well as the personal career moves they've made that have set them up for success. Their advice serves as a blueprint for emerging leaders unsure of how to take their career to the next level.   Abby and Brian will be honored at AFP ICON 2025 in Seattle, April 27-29.  Guests: Brian Marquez, development officer at the Southern Scholarship Foundation: Starting as a development coordinator at Elder Care Services (ECS) in Tallahassee, Brian introduced initiatives such as a quarterly impact report that highlighted to donors the valuable role their contributions played in creating positive change at the senior service agency. These stewardship-focused efforts resulted in increased donor retention, including inspiring one donor to triple their gift from the previous year. As a queer Latino, Brian's leadership at ECS extended beyond fundraising. While chair of ECS's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, Brian launched an effort to translate materials into Spanish, and secured SAGE certification for ECS, ensuring the organization was a welcoming and affirming space for LGBTQ+ seniors. While the industry as a whole continues to struggle to retain and recruit new donors, Brian is defying trends with a focus on meaningful donor engagement that has contributed to a 5% increase in retention, a 7% increase in first-time donors, and a 17% increase in monthly donors. His use of automated, segmented campaigns celebrating donor milestones and personalized welcome campaigns for new donors reflect Brian's ability to embrace new technology in fostering relationships. Beyond his professional achievements, Brian has made a profound impact as a volunteer and advocate. As president of the AFP FL, Big Bend Chapter, he has significantly increased attendance and engagement by fostering collaborations with local nonprofit leaders. Additionally, he is deeply committed to advancing LGBTQ+ equality, serving on the board of Equality Florida and contributing to policy initiatives through the City of Tallahassee Mayor's LGBTQ+ Advisory Council. Abby Trahan, MPA, CFRE, development officer II, at the University of Houston: In her first professional role as annual giving coordinator for the Houston Food Bank, Abby grew the monthly giving program by 60%, generating $3 million in dependable annual revenue with a remarkable 96% donor retention rate. Beyond the numbers, she created a culture of gratitude and stewardship through innovations such as a new tool for tracking donor touchpoints and a cross-departmental letter writing day to personally thank donors. In her successive roles as development officer I and II for the University of Houston, Abby has significantly expanded the organization's capacity to attract and retain major donors, resulting in multiple six-figure gifts, including a $1 million commitment, as well as the University of Houston Law Center's first endowed professorship during the current dean's tenure. Her talents extend beyond major gifts, also facilitating a peer-to-peer campaign that raised $113,000—the highest in four years. As an active member of AFP since 2018, Abby has demonstrated her leadership at the chapter level, serving as communications chair for National Philanthropy Day and mentoring emerging professionals through the Greater Houston Chapter's Collegiate Chapters program. Abby also earned her Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) credential just three years after joining the profession, showcasing her commitment to her future career in fundraising. Hosts:  Emily Leitzinger, CFRE, CNP, Director of National Leadership Giving, Cure SMA: Emily Leitzinger is a fundraising executive with over 15 years of experience driving organizational growth and sustainability through innovative fundraising strategies and donor engagement.

In addition to her professional achievements, she enjoys traveling, long-distance running, and craft beer, and is a huge fan of The Office.  She lives in New Orleans with her Elvis-impersonating husband, Mike.    Dr. Allison Quintanilla Plattsmier, CFRE, ACNP, GPC, CAP, Founder & CEO, AQP Consulting & Executive Director, ENP: Dr. Allison Quintanilla Plattsmier has fourteen years of experience in the nonprofit sector and has collectively raised approximately $5 million for over 75 organizations.

Enterprise Connect 2025 Podcast | Technology Reseller News Previously LIVE from Enterprise Connect 2025 “If you're relying on mobile triangulation, your 911 location could be half a mile off—meanwhile, your DoorDash order is on the doorstep,” says Robert Harris, President of Communications Advantage. Speaking at Enterprise Connect 2025, Harris and Melinda Sensabaugh, ENP, joined Doug Green to discuss the realities of enterprise 911 compliance—and why Next Generation 911 (NG911) is far more than a telecom upgrade. Sensabaugh, a certified Emergency Numbering Professional (ENP) and longtime consultant in public safety communications, outlined how legacy analog systems and selective routers limit the information public safety can receive. “Today's 911 still runs on technology designed for landlines,” said Sensabaugh. “NextGen 911 will run over IP networks, delivering location, device, video, even floor plans—getting the right information to the right PSAP faster.” For enterprises, complying with Kari's Law and the RAY BAUM's Act is more complex than just updating a phone system. Harris emphasized that ambiguous terms like “to the extent technically feasible” require interpretation. “Enterprises need expert help to translate regulatory language into action—whether that means mapping every wired port or accounting for Wi-Fi mobility,” he said. Both Sensabaugh and Harris have built their consulting practice around a holistic approach to 911—helping enterprises assess and update not just their phone systems, but their policies, safety planning, and PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) readiness. Their work includes consulting on legacy upgrades, educating IT and safety teams, and advocating for proactive compliance before tragedies expose gaps. “The bottom line,” said Sensabaugh, “is that 911 isn't just about technology. It's about protecting your employees and knowing that when they dial, help gets to the right place—fast.” To learn more, visit communicationsadvantage.com, or connect with Robert Lee Harris on LinkedIn. He also offers a white paper on integrating 911 compliance as a core worker safety discipline.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: From Numbers to Narratives: Bálint's Creative Awakening Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-03-04-23-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Kedves olvasó, képzeld el Budapest egy csendes utcáját, ahol egy kávézó meghitt, barátságos légkört teremt.En: Dear reader, imagine a quiet street in Budapest, where a café creates an intimate, friendly atmosphere.Hu: A kávézó falait meleg barna fa borítja, a levegőt pedig frissen őrölt kávé illata tölti meg.En: The walls of the café are covered in warm brown wood, and the air is filled with the scent of freshly ground coffee.Hu: Az ablakokon beszűrődik a halvány, ígérettel teli téli fény, egyúttal megérezhetjük a tavasz közelségét.En: The pale, promise-filled winter light filters through the windows, allowing us to sense the approach of spring.Hu: Egy késő téli délután, Bálint, egy szorgalmas könyvelő, éppen a laptopján dolgozik.En: On a late winter afternoon, Bálint, a diligent accountant, is working on his laptop.Hu: Elmélyülten készíti a jelentéseket, amelyek kulcsfontosságúak a következő heti üzleti prezentációhoz.En: He is deeply engrossed in preparing reports that are crucial for the business presentation next week.Hu: Az asztalán jegyzetek hevernek, tollak és egy csésze forró kávé, amit mindig Réka, az alkotói vénával megáldott barista készít neki.En: On his table lie notes, pens, and a cup of hot coffee, always made for him by Réka, the barista blessed with a creative spirit.Hu: Réka már észrevette, hogy Bálint minden délután visszatér a kávézóba.En: Réka has noticed that Bálint returns to the café every afternoon.Hu: Újabb és újabb kávékat rendel, miközben szorgosan írja a számokat a képernyőn.En: He orders coffee after coffee while diligently typing numbers on the screen.Hu: Egy alkalommal kíváncsiságból egy apró grafikát csúsztat Bálint csészéje alá.En: Out of curiosity, she once slips a small sketch under Bálint's cup.Hu: Egy csendes mosollyal és óvatos mozdulattal nyújtja át a csészét, amire Bálint kíváncsi tekintettel néz.En: With a quiet smile and a careful gesture, she hands over the cup, which Bálint looks at with intrigued eyes.Hu: Bálint élete nem csak számokról szólt.En: Bálint's life was not just about numbers.Hu: Titkon mindig is vágyott a kreativitásra, egy új kifejezésmódra.En: Secretly, he always yearned for creativity, a new mode of expression.Hu: Azonban a munkahelyi elvárások, különösen Péter, a főnöke elvárásai, hatalmas nyomást gyakoroltak rá.En: However, workplace expectations, especially those from Péter, his boss, put enormous pressure on him.Hu: Péter, aki a bemutatótól várta a következő nagy ügyfél megnyerését, nem tűrt hibát.En: Péter, expecting the presentation to win over the next big client, did not tolerate mistakes.Hu: Az idő telt, a prezentáció napja közeledett.En: Time passed, and the day of the presentation was approaching.Hu: Bálint egyre inkább érezte, hogy a kreativitás iránti vágyát össze kellene kapcsolnia a munkájával.En: Bálint increasingly felt that he should merge his desire for creativity with his work.Hu: Gondolatában összeállt a kép: mi lenne, ha Réka vidám skiccei segítségével tenné érthetővé a bonyolult pénzügyi adatokat a jövőbeli ügyfelüknek?En: The idea came together in his mind: what if he used Réka's cheerful sketches to make complex financial data understandable for their future client?Hu: Elérkezett a bemutató napja.En: The day of the presentation arrived.Hu: Bálint izgult, de eltökélt volt.En: Bálint was nervous but determined.Hu: A laptopjáról a projektorra vetítette Réka rajzait is.En: He projected Réka's drawings from his laptop.Hu: Az egyszerű ábrák életre keltették a számokat, az ügyfél pedig elmerült a képek világában.En: The simple illustrations brought the numbers to life, and the client became immersed in the world of images.Hu: Az ügyfél érdeklődése látványosan

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: Lost in Snow: Sibling Trust Amidst a Bleak World Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-01-04-23-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A földet vastag hótakaró borította.En: The ground was covered by a thick blanket of snow.Hu: Az alvó falut csend lengte körül.En: Silence enveloped the sleeping village.Hu: Csak a szél hangja hallatszott az elhagyott házak közt.En: Only the sound of the wind could be heard among the abandoned houses.Hu: Zsófia és Péter a romos templom közelében álltak.En: Zsófia and Péter stood near the ruined church.Hu: Hideg volt, de ez nem tartotta vissza őket.En: It was cold, but that didn't hold them back.Hu: Zsófia karja öccse vállát szorította, ahogy a távoli dombokat nézte.En: Zsófia's arm gripped her brother's shoulder as she gazed at the distant hills.Hu: „Biztos vagy benne, Péter?En: "Are you sure, Péter?"Hu: ” – kérdezte aggódva.En: she asked worriedly.Hu: Péter, még mindig a dombokat figyelve, bólintott.En: Péter, still watching the hills, nodded.Hu: „Biztos vagyok.En: "I'm sure.Hu: Meg kell találnunk őket.En: We have to find them.Hu: Lehet, hogy valahol ott vannak.En: They might be somewhere there."Hu: ”A katasztrófa óta, amely megrázta az egész világot, ők ketten csak egymásra számíthattak.En: Since the disaster that had shaken the entire world, the two of them could only rely on each other.Hu: Az élet nehéz volt, az élelmiszer és menedék szinte hiánycikk volt.En: Life was hard;

és hirtelen minden haragja elszállt.En: and suddenly, all her anger disappeared.Hu: Pétert és Katalint látva, ahogy a havas úton elindulnak, Judit végre leereszkedett a forró, nyugtató vízbe.En: Watching Péter and Katalin as they set off down the snowy path, Judit finally descended into the hot, soothing water.Hu: Ahogy a víz körbefolyta, úgy hullott le róla a feszültség.En: As the water flowed around her, the tension melted away.Hu: Érezte, ahogy a testében újra életre kel a béke, amit már oly régóta keresett.En: She felt peace come back to life within her, something she had been searching for so long.Hu: Amikor visszatértek, Katalin boldogan mesélte az apja mellett átélt kalandokat.En: When they returned, Katalin happily recounted the adventures she had with her father.Hu: Judit rájött, mennyire fontos közölni vágyait és igényeit.En: Judit realized how important it was to express her desires and needs.Hu: Így kereste meg a szükséges egyensúlyt önmaga és családja iránti törődés között.En: This is how she found the necessary balance between caring for herself and her family.Hu: Talán ez a nő nem lett valóságos hóangyal a havas mezőn, de édes kényelme mindenképpen egy angyalé volt a fürdőben.En: Perhaps she didn't become a real snow angel on the snowy meadow, but her sweet comfort was certainly that of an angel in the bath.Hu: A karácsony idén tényleg nem csak a családi kötődés, hanem az önmagára találás megünneplése is lett.En: This Christmas really became a celebration not just of family bonding but also of rediscovering herself.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: The Gift Swap: A Magical Christmas at the Orphanage Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2024-11-28-23-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Hó takarta be a színesre festett árvaházat, ahogy a decemberi reggel napsugara bevilágított a kis ablakokon.En: Snow covered the vividly painted orphanage as the sunlight of the December morning shone through the small windows.Hu: Bent, a közös szobában, karácsonyi dallamok szűrődtek ki a régi rádióból.En: Inside the common room, Christmas melodies filtered out from the old radio.Hu: Gábor, az árvaház kedves, ám kissé szerencsétlen segítője épp a karácsonyfa alatt rakosgatta a színes csomagokat.En: Gábor, the kind but somewhat inept helper at the orphanage, was busy arranging colorful packages under the Christmas tree.Hu: Az volt a terve, hogy egy felejthetetlen napot szerez a gyerekeknek.En: His plan was to create an unforgettable day for the children.Hu: Katalin, a fürge és talpraesett kislány, lelkesen figyelte Gábor mozdulatait.En: Katalin, the swift and resourceful little girl, watched Gábor's movements eagerly.Hu: Mindig is szeretett volna segíteni neki, de Gábor most szigorúan kérte, hogy ne zavarja.En: She had always wanted to help him, but Gábor now strictly asked her not to disturb him.Hu: Azonban Katalin tudta, hogy valami baj fog történni, hiszen Gábor hajlamos volt eltéveszteni a dolgokat.En: However, Katalin knew that something was bound to go wrong, as Gábor had a tendency to fumble things.Hu: Amint az órák múltak, a gyerekek izgatottan gyülekeztek a szoba ajtajánál.En: As the hours passed, the children gathered excitedly at the room's door.Hu: Az üvegablakokon át láthatták a csillogó díszeket és az ajándékok halmazát.En: Through the glass windows, they could see the sparkling decorations and the pile of gifts.Hu: Amikor Gábor végre jelzett, hogy bejöhetnek, a gyerekek nevetgélve rohantak be a szobába.En: When Gábor finally signaled that they could come in, the children rushed into the room, laughing.Hu: A problémák ekkor kezdődtek.En: That's when the problems began.Hu: Minden gyermek kapott egy ajándékot, de Katalinnak feltűnt, hogy senki sem a sajátját.En: Every child received a gift, but Katalin noticed none of them had their own.Hu: Péter, aki hegedűt kért, kalózkardot kapott, míg Réka, aki játék babát vár, kalapácskészletet talált csomagjában.En: Péter, who had asked for a violin, received a pirate sword, while Réka, who expected a doll, found a hammer set in her package.Hu: A gyerekek először meglepődtek, majd kuncogni kezdtek.En: The kids were initially surprised, then started giggling.Hu: Katalin, átlátva helyzetet, odalépett Gáborhoz.En: Seeing the situation, Katalin stepped up to Gábor.Hu: "Ne ess kétségbe, Gábor bácsi," mondta kacagva.En: "Don't worry, Uncle Gábor," she said, laughing.Hu: "Játsszunk el ezzel a tévedéssel!En: "Let's play along with this mix-up!"Hu: "Gábor mosolyogva bólintott.En: Gábor nodded with a smile.Hu: "Rendben, Katalin.En: "Alright, Katalin.Hu: Te vezényelsz.En: You lead the way."Hu: "A játék lényege az volt, hogy mindenki elmondta, mi volt az eredeti kívánsága, majd el kellett mondani, hogyan felel meg az új ajándék ennek a kívánságnak.En: The game was that everyone would share what their original wish was and then explain how the new gift fulfilled that wish.Hu: Péter, aki hegedülni szeretett volna, azt találta ki, hogy a kalózkard segít neki a képzeletbeli zenekari harcokban.En: Péter, who wanted to violin,

Transcript:Hu: A Hévízi Termálfürdő csendes környezete ősszel még magával ragadóbb volt.En: The quiet surroundings of the Hévízi Termálfürdő were even more captivating in the autumn.Hu: Az égen könnyű ködérek úsztak, míg a fák sárga, barna és vörös árnyalatokban pompáztak.En: Light misty clouds floated in the sky while the trees dazzled in shades of yellow, brown, and red.Hu: A hévízi fürdő vize melegen gőzölgött, körülötte kellemes nyugodt hangulatot árasztott.En: The water of the hévíz bath steamed warmly, radiating a pleasant and calm atmosphere.Hu: A Szent László Gimnázium diákjai izgatottan érkeztek az osztálykirándulásra, amely különleges alkalom volt.En: The students of Szent László Gimnázium arrived excitedly for their class trip, which was a special occasion.Hu: Az amerikai hálaadás napjáról beszélgettek, bár Magyarországon nem ünneplik, érdekes volt számukra.En: They talked about the American Thanksgiving, and although it's not celebrated in Magyarország, they found it interesting.Hu: Péter, a mindig kíváncsi diák, alig várta, hogy többet megtudjon a termálvizek csodáiról.En: Péter, the ever-curious student, couldn't wait to learn more about the wonders of thermal waters.Hu: Titokban pedig reménykedett, hogy lenyűgözheti Zsuzsát, a társait a fényképezőgéppel, aki szívvel-lélekkel szervezett egy fényképezős versenyt a tanulók között.En: Secretly, he hoped to impress Zsuzsa, his classmate with the camera, who had organized a photography competition among the students with all her heart and soul.Hu: "Rebeka, mindenkinek megvan?En: "Rebeka, does everyone have it?Hu: Nehogy valaki elcsatangoljon!En: Let's not let anyone wander off!"Hu: " szólt határozottan Rebeka, az osztály felelőse.En: Rebeka, the class leader, said firmly.Hu: Mindig ügyelt arra, hogy mindenki biztonságban legyen.En: She always made sure everyone was safe.Hu: Pétert is figyelmeztette, nehogy elkalandozzon túlságosan.En: She also warned Péter not to stray too far.Hu: Péter, bár félt megszólalni a csapat előtt, úgy érezte, most kell lépnie.En: Although Péter was afraid to speak up in front of the group, he felt it was time to act.Hu: Tudta, hogy Zsuzsát a különleges helyszínek érdeklik.En: He knew that Zsuzsa was interested in unique locations.Hu: Ezért Péter úgy döntött, hogy felfedez egy kevésbé látogatott részt a fürdő környékén, hogy valami különlegeset találjon.En: So, Péter decided to explore a less visited part of the bath area to find something special.Hu: Ahogy Péter lassan sétálgatott az egyik félreeső út mentén, megpillantott egy csodás kilátást.En: As Péter slowly strolled along one of the remote paths, he spotted a marvelous view.Hu: A víz itt különösen tiszta volt, a köveken különleges minták jelentek meg.En: The water was particularly clear here, and unusual patterns appeared on the stones.Hu: Pétert lenyűgözte a látvány és azt gondolta, hogy ez biztosan elnyeri Zsuzsa tetszését.En: Péter was captivated by the sight and thought that surely Zsuzsa would like it.Hu: "Találtam valami érdekeset, jöjjetek velem!En: "I found something interesting, come with me!"Hu: " szólt oda a többieknek.En: he called to the others.Hu: Rebeka, noha aggódott Péter kezdeményezései miatt, kíváncsian követte őt.En: Although Rebeka was concerned about Péter's initiatives, she followed him out of curiosity.Hu: Zsuzsa is érdekesen nézett utána, majd nekilendült a csoport.En: Zsuzsa also looked at him with interest and then joined the group.Hu: Amikor odaértek, Zsuzsa rögtön előkapta fényképezőgépét.En: When they arrived, Zsuzsa immediately took out her camera.Hu: Tetszett neki, mennyire különleges volt a hely.En: She liked how special the place was.Hu: Péter segítségével sikerült remek képeket készítenie.En: With Péter's help, she managed to take excellent photos.Hu: A diákok közben meghallgatták Péter lelkes magyarázatát, hogy miért olyan különleges ez a hely.En: Meanwhile, the students listened to Péter's enthusiastic explanation of why this place was so special.Hu: Péter belülről megkönnyebbült és örömmel töltötte el, hogy bátorsággal és tudással sikerült elérnie, amit akart.En: Péter felt relieved inside and was filled with joy that through courage and knowledge, he achieved what he wanted.Hu: Zsuzsa pedig elismerően nézett rá, érdeklődő kérdéseket tett fel még a hévízi termálvizekkel kapcsolatban.En: Zsuzsa looked at him appreciatively and asked more curious questions about the hévíz thermal waters.Hu: Végül, az élményekkel és tudással gazdagabban Péter felismerte, hogy sokkal magabiztosabb, mint valaha hitte volna.En: Ultimately, enriched with experiences and knowledge, Péter realized he was much more confident than he had ever thought possible.Hu: Barátai is elismerték érdeklődését a geológia iránt, és megbecsülték hozzájárulását az emlékezetes naphoz.En: His friends also recognized his interest in geology and appreciated his contribution to the memorable day.

In this episode of Rising Voices of Fundraising: The AFP Emerging Leaders Podcast, we discuss the difficult questions we ask ourselves when we're contemplating leaving a job: Can I get a bump in salary at my current organization? What am I really looking for out of a job change? Do I have the right skills to apply to a new position? How do I balance pursuing my passion with setting appropriate work/life boundaries? Derek Mulhern, CEO & executive leadership coach at Derek Mulhern Coaching & Consulting, shares how to evaluate the pros and cons and make the career move that's right for you. Guests:  Derek Mulhern, PCC, ACCC  – Executive Life & Leadership Coach The son of a dairy farmer in Fountain, Minnesota, Derek was raised in a family that valued perseverance. From a young age, he understood the importance of ambitiously creating his future. Derek started his training and coaching career working with college students. He championed them to unlock their potential by creating powerful connections and fearlessly speaking truth. When he moved to Washington, DC, he brought these leadership skills and coaching goals to the nonprofit sector. Derek knows how to manage and transform individual contributors to be part of productive, high-functioning teams. During his time in the nonprofit sector, Derek observed various leadership styles to build an approach that acknowledges how decision-making impacts the team. He has seen first-hand how effective leaders build teams who generate creativity, impart their passions, and strengthen their organizations.

Persian, Dari, Tajik: Language Evolution and Varieties The transition from the Sasanian Empire to the Islamic period marked a crucial shift in the Persian language. Following the Arab-Islamic conquest (632-651 CE), Persian evolved into Early New Persian (ENP), spanning from the 8th to the 12th centuries. This period, characterized by gradual linguistic transformation rather than abrupt change, saw Persian shift from Middle Persian (MP) to a form written in Arabic script. Despite these changes, the linguistic differences between 7th-century MP and 10th-century ENP were less pronounced compared to those between ENP and modern Persian. ENP is notable for its regional and religious varieties. Key types include Standard ENP, used by Muslim Iranians and written in Arabic script; Early Judaeo-Persian (EJP), written in Hebrew script by Persian-speaking Jews; Manichean NP, from northeastern Iran; Christian NP, mainly in Central Asia; and Zoroastrian NP, with texts in Middle Persian and Avestan scripts. Manuscripts from these periods vary in preservation and authenticity, with EJP texts providing particularly valuable insights. The Islamic conquest integrated Iran into the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates, yet Persian retained its cultural significance. The Samanid Dynasty (819-1005) and later dynasties like the Ghaznavids and Saljuqs played a key role in establishing Persian as a prominent literary and administrative language. By the late 11th century, Persian had become a major language of literature and scholarship, extending its influence across Central Asia and North India. In Afghanistan, Persian (Dari) and Pashto are the primary languages, with Dari serving as the most widely spoken language and Pashto holding official status. Afghanistan's linguistic landscape reflects its diverse history and geography, with various languages being promoted and preserved. Tajik Persian, or Tojik, is a variant of New Persian used in Central Asia, particularly in Tajikistan and parts of Uzbekistan. It features significant Russian and Uzbek influences and retains some archaic elements of Persian.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Unveiling the Essence of Pálinka: A Budapest Adventure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/unveiling-the-essence-of-palinka-a-budapest-adventure Story Transcript:Hu: Gábor, Eszter és Csaba, késő esti órában találkoztak Budapesten. Céljuk: megtanítani egy külföldi barátjuknak a 'pálinka' fogalmát, anélkül, hogy átesnének a ló túloldalára.En: Gábor, Eszter, and Csaba met in Budapest late in the evening. Their goal: to teach a foreign friend the concept of 'pálinka' without going overboard.Hu: Gábor volt az első, aki felmutatta a kristálytiszta üveget, amiben a világító folyadék tükrözte a Duna fényeit. Eszter, magas, szőke lány, aki olyan elszántsággal tűzte ki projektjüket, mintha egy kincsvadászat lenne a tét. Csaba, Gábor életvidám barátja, aki mindig a humoros megoldásokat keresi, aki csakúgy gondolkodik: ha ez a küldetés sikerül, ez lesz a történelem legjobb estéje.En: Gábor was the first to present the crystal-clear glass containing the illuminated liquid reflecting the lights of the Danube. Eszter, a tall, blonde girl, set out on their project with determination as if it were a treasure hunt. Csaba, Gábor's lively friend who always seeks humorous solutions, thought, “If this mission succeeds, this will be the best night in history.”Hu: Az est hideg volt, a levegőben a téli csípőség és az izgalom vegyült. Beléptek egy meleg, otthonos kisvendéglőbe, ahol zene szólt, a hangulat pedig otthonos és élénk volt. A hely tökéletesen alkalmas volt a megszokott mindennapi élettől való kikapcsolódásra. A hosszú tölgyfa asztalnál ülve, Gábor elővette az első üveget, benne egy szilvapálinkával.En: The evening was cold, a mix of winter chill and excitement in the air. They entered a cozy little gastropub with music playing, and the atmosphere was warm and lively. The place was perfect for escaping from the usual daily routine. Sitting at the long oak table, Gábor brought out the first bottle, filled with plum pálinka.Hu: "A pálinka", kezdte Gábor, "nem csak egy ital. Ez a magyar lélek, az ünnepek, az együttlét összegződése."En: "Pálinka," Gábor began, "is not just a drink. It embodies the Hungarian spirit, the essence of celebrations and togetherness."Hu: Eszter közbevetett: "De vigyázni kell. Ne légy mohó. A cél nem a részegség, hanem az élvezet".En: Eszter interjected, "But be careful. Don't be greedy. The goal is not drunkenness, but enjoyment."Hu: Csaba hozzátette: "Igen! Ma este, ne feledd, nem a felejtésről van szó, hanem a tanulásról".En: Csaba added, "Exactly! Tonight, remember, it's not about forgetting, but about learning."Hu: Gondosan magyarázták az elkészítési folyamatot, a szőlőtől az erjedésig, a lepárlástól a fogyasztásig. Az est tovább haladt, a szobában az emberek nevettek, a zene szólt, de a külföldi barát foteljében még mindig értetlenül nézett rájuk.En: They carefully explained the process of making pálinka, from the grapes to fermentation, distillation to consumption. As the night progressed, people in the room laughed, music played, but their foreign friend still looked puzzled in his chair.Hu: Aztán valami változott. A külföldi barát lassan felismerte a pálinka szellemét. Megérezte az eredeti gyümölcs zamatait, és rájött, hogy a pálinka nem csak egy ital. Az egy új látásmód, egy másik életérzés, a magyarok életszemléletének, hagyományának és kultúrájának a tükörképe.En: Then something changed. The foreign friend slowly recognized the spirit of pálinka. He tasted the original fruit flavors and realized that pálinka is not just a drink. It is a new perspective, a different way of feeling, a reflection of the Hungarian outlook on life, tradition, and culture.Hu: Az este végére pedig, a külföldi barátuk is megértette a 'pálinka' fogalmat. Az eufória, a megkönnyebbülés a levegőben volt. Sikeresek voltak. Az este végén, hazaindultak, tudva, hogy elérték, amit akartak. Bár a külföldi barát nem lett pálinka szakértő, de megértette, miért fontos ez a kis ital az emberek életében és miért ragaszkodnak hozzá annyira. A fogalom használatának művészete ott kezdődik, hogy az ember nyitott legyen megismerni és elfogadni az ismeretlent is.En: By the end of the evening, their foreign friend had grasped the concept of 'pálinka'. Euphoria and relief filled the air. They had succeeded. As they headed home at the end of the night, they knew they had achieved their goal. Though the foreign friend didn't become a pálinka expert, he understood why this small drink is important in people's lives and why they hold onto it so dearly. The art of using the concept begins with being open to getting to know and accepting the unknown.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Palinka Perfection: A Cultural Soiree at Bartal Castle Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/palinka-perfection-a-cultural-soiree-at-bartal-castle Story Transcript:Hu: Budapest, a Dunának otthont adó város, a híres fürdőinek és a gyönyörű építészetének köszönhetően turisták ezreinek utazási célpontja. Ennek a csodálatos városnak az egyik esti szegletében, az Andrássy úton, Ádám, Eszter és Bence egy elegáns esküvői helyszínen találták magukat.En: Budapest, a city situated along the Danube, is a travel destination for thousands of tourists due to its famous baths and beautiful architecture. In one corner of this wonderful city, on Andrássy Avenue, Adam, Eszter, and Bence found themselves at an elegant wedding venue one evening.Hu: Az este gyöngéden borult a városra, a korai nyári nap sugarai halkan visszavonultak a nyugodt Duna mögé. Bartal Kastély; olyan, mint a mesékből, a hely, ahol legjobb barátjuk, Péter díszes sokadalomra hívta őket. A helyszín bámulatos volt, a vörös kárpit nagyvonalúan terült el a kastély előtt, tele volt dekadenciával és otthonos melegséggel.En: The evening gently fell over the city, as the early summer sun quietly retreated behind the calm Danube. Bartal Castle, like something out of a fairy tale, was the place where their best friend Peter had invited them for a grand celebration. The venue was stunning, with red carpets elegantly laid out in front of the castle, exuding decadence and a cozy warmth.Hu: Ádám, Eszter és Bence, mint mottoimigránsok, nem voltak tisztában a magyar hagyományokkal. Nimfák a magyar kultúrában, főként a pálinka szokásos protokolljában, amelynek eleganciája és szertartásai messze voltak a hétköznapi borozás utáni pukkantástól, ahogy ők ismerték.En: Adam, Eszter, and Bence, as expats, were not familiar with Hungarian traditions. Novices in Hungarian culture, especially in the customary ritual of pálinka, whose elegance and ceremonies were far from the casual clinking of glasses they knew.Hu: "A pálinka nem csak ital, ez egy érzés..." – hallotta Ádámot a fülében szólalni meg a menyasszony nagybátyjától. A csészében pihent a pálinka, mintha a lelke lenne a magyar kultúrának. A müzli bolondos, páratlan frissesség öntötte el a levegőt. Ádám úgy érezte, hogy neki és barátainak meg kell tanulnia az elegáns pálinka kézről kézre adásának szabályait.En: "Pálinka is not just a drink, it's a feeling..." Adam heard the bride's uncle whisper in his ear. The pálinka rested in the glass, as if it were the soul of Hungarian culture. The playful, unparalleled freshness of müzli filled the air. Adam felt that he and his friends needed to learn the rules of elegantly passing pálinka from hand to hand.Hu: Eszter, aki egyértelműen élvezte az új tapasztalatokat, felszedte biflázási bizalmát és elkezdett beszélni az emberekkel a kastélyban. Nyelvi nehézségei voltak, de hihetetlen optimizmusa meggyőzte a kastély padlóján álló összes vendéget, hogy máris közelebb került a közeledő kulturális beavatáshoz.En: Eszter, clearly enjoying the new experiences, gained confidence in mingling and started conversations with people in the castle. Despite her language difficulties, her incredible optimism convinced all the guests standing on the castle floor that they were already closer to the approaching cultural initiation.Hu: Bence és közben a barokk berendezésű szalonban barátkozott és viccelődött a gyerekekkel, akik olyan tiszteletteljesen bámultak rá, mintha a náluknál magasabb trón örököse lenne.En: Meanwhile, Bence socialized and joked with the children in the baroque-style salon, who looked at him with such reverence as if he were the heir to a higher throne than theirs.Hu: Szövevényesen nyújtózó est, a pálinka tüzének és a barátok nevetése között tekintete a herceg fele fordult, amint megkonferálta a szertartás végső protokollját. Az este, mely aznap kezdődött, leegyszerűsítve az összes kulturális struktúra részletéig, természetesen mégiscsak egy baráti találkozóval fejeződött be, ahol a magyar pálinkát a történet hősei becsülettel toastolták, miközben a kastély erkélyén üldögéltek.En: As the evening wove itself intricately between the warmth of pálinka and friends' laughter, his gaze turned towards the prince, as he conducted the final protocol of the ceremony. The evening, which had started earlier that day, simplifying every detail of cultural structure, ultimately ended with a friendly gathering where the heroes of the story toasted the Hungarian pálinka with honor as they sat on the castle balcony.Hu: A pandúr felé fordulva, Bence felemelte poharát és annyit mondott, amit legjobban megjegyzett az est során: "Egészségedre!" Ez volt az intenzív pillanat, amikor olyan bámulatosan összetettnek tűnt a pálinka etikett, ami valójában már csak egyszerű művészet volt.En: Turning towards the pandúr, Bence raised his glass and said the most memorable words of the evening: "Cheers!" It was the intense moment where the intricacies of pálinka etiquette seemed so beautifully composed, yet was in reality just a simple art form.Hu: A nap végén az egyetlen dolog, amit megtanultak, az volt, hogy a pálinka hagyomány nem csak az italról szól, hanem arról is, hogy egy pillanat alatt és együtt mindenki matinéba kerül, családdá válik.En: At the end of the day, the only thing they had learned was that the pálinka tradition was not just about the drink, but also about a moment where everyone instantly becomes family together.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Discovering Hungarian Spirit: A Pálinka Encounter in City Park Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/discovering-hungarian-spirit-a-palinka-encounter-in-city-park Story Transcript:Hu: Az őszi nap levélbeletakarózva búcsúzott Budapesttől, amikor Péter, Éva és Zsuzsa az idaelárválva bámészkodó külföldihoz léptek a Városligeti fának dőlve.En: The autumn sun bid farewell to Budapest, tucked in by a layer of leaves, as Peter, Eva, and Zsuzsa approached the foreigner, George, leaning against a tree in City Park, looking lost.Hu: Ő volt George, egy angliai vendég, aki már kinőtt a Buckingham Palota és a nagy köd közül, hogy Budapest utcáit és népének szokásait fedezze fel.En: He was George, a guest from England, who had outgrown Buckingham Palace and the thick fog to discover the streets and customs of Budapest.Hu: Na, de hogyan adják át George-nak a magyar kultúra mélységeit?En: But how to convey the depths of Hungarian culture to George?Hu: Talán azzal, hogy felmutatják a Parlamentet?En: Perhaps by showing him the Parliament Building?Hu: De hisz már láthatott parlamentet a világ számos pontján.En: But he must have seen parliament buildings in many parts of the world.Hu: Csak a pálinka maradt.En: Only pálinka remained.Hu: Igen, a pálinka - a magyarok lényegébe történő betekintést lehetne adni általa.En: Yes, pálinka - through it, an insight into the essence of Hungarians could be provided.Hu: "Képzeld el, hogy lelkünk és kultúránk kristályosodik egy meggyes pohárban," mondta Péter a fülbevalós George-nak.En: "Imagine our soul and culture crystallizing in a cherry brandy glass," Peter whispered to the earring-wearing George.Hu: Az angol arcán kérdő kifejezés jelent meg.En: A questioning look appeared on the Englishman's face.Hu: Zsuzsa gyorsan elővett egy kulacsot, benne azon csípős, tüzes folyadékkal, melynek ereje gőzzé alakítja a létezést, akár a vadonban talált tűz.En: Zsuzsa quickly produced a flask containing that sharp, fiery liquid, whose power turns existence into vapor, much like a fire found in the wilderness.Hu: Éva mosolygott.En: Eva smiled.Hu: "Látnod kell ahhoz, hogy megértsd.En: "You must see in order to understand.Hu: Ez a pálinka.En: This is pálinka."Hu: " George kérdőn nézte a kulacsból kiömlő folyadékot.En: George skeptically eyed the liquid pouring out of the flask.Hu: A három magyar nevetett.En: The three Hungarians chuckled.Hu: A lányok egy üvegpoharat adtak George-nak, benne az auráját kibocsátó, befogadó folyadékkal.En: The girls handed George a glass, filled with a liquid that emitted their aura, welcoming and intoxicating.Hu: A férfi megfontoltan szimatolt, majd nagyot kortyolt.En: The man sniffed thoughtfully, then took a big sip.Hu: Villódzó szemei tükrözték a pálinka erejét.En: His flickering eyes reflected the strength of the pálinka.Hu: Az arcán játszó grimasz jelentősebb volt, mint szavak hegye.En: The grimace on his face was more significant than a thousand words.Hu: "Na, ez a pálinka!En: "Well, this is pálinka!"Hu: " Zsuzsa kiáltott fel örömmel, ahogy George arcán látta a meglepetést és az elragadtatást.En: Zsuzsa exclaimed with joy, seeing the surprise and delight on George's face.Hu: A férfi bámult, a szemöldökével kérdezett, a szájából pedig újabb korty pálinkát kérő szavak jöttek.En: The man stared, questioning with his eyebrows, words requesting another sip of pálinka escaping his mouth.Hu: Az a nap, a cserjék között, a mesebeli Városligetben, a magyar szellem, a pálinka tréfás erejének felismeréséről szólt.En: That day, among the bushes in the fairy-tale City Park, was about the recognition of the humorous power of Hungarian spirit and pálinka.Hu: A kiállíthatatlan erő és a szájban táncoló selymesség együtt játszott a szájában, mintha maga a magyar élet lenne az - hol csíp, miközben csókol.En: The uncontrollable force and the silky smoothness dancing in the mouth played together as if Hungarian life itself were in it - sometimes biting, while kissing.Hu: A nap végére George sokkal többet tudhatott a magyarokról, mint korábban.En: By the end of the day, George knew much more about Hungarians than before.Hu: Megértette, miért élvezik a pálinkát akkor is, ha az elpirítja a szájukat.En: He understood why they enjoy pálinka even when it burns their mouths.Hu: Miért nevetnek rajta, hisz ez a nép is örül, amikor nehezen talpra áll, a pálinkájához hasonlóan.En: Why they laugh at it, as this people also rejoice when they struggle to stand up, much like their pálinka.Hu: Az őszi nap bejárta az eget és lement.En: The autumn sun traveled through the sky and set.Hu: Budapest fényei felragyogtak és a három magyar útjára indult, biztosak benne, hogy George ma eggyel több dolgot ért Budapestből.En: Budapest's lights shimmered, and the three Hungarians set off, certain that George now understood one more thing about Budapest.Hu: A pálinkát.En: Pálinka.Hu: És talán kicsit magukat is.En: And perhaps a bit about themselves too.Hu: Hát nem ez volt a céljuk?En: Wasn't this their goal?Hu: Hogy a világ megértse őket, ahogyan ők megértik a pálinkát – nevetés, élet és szeretet által.En: To have the world understand them, just as they understand pálinka - through laughter, life, and love.

So you do that for a number of different reasons." -Brent Broussard"You've never seen a more curious bunch of people than landmen working on a stealth job. They would try to trick everybody involved. You're chuckling at your landman and landowners trying to figure out who it is and speculating who it is." -Brent Broussard"You don't even tell your family where you're at. You're just there and you need to stay there and work. But the key is really having that abstract plant, and finding an out-of-the-way place. It was highly successful in a time that people weren't looking in that direction, so it was easy to stay stealth." -Brandon Ward"If you're gonna do a stealth project, it's probably best to use somebody like Dudley as opposed to kind of a one-off shop that's just done your work for 20 years. You better go somewhere else if you're gonna do a stealth project." -Brandon WardResourcesIs EOG Hiding A Supergiant Oilfield in the Buda in East Texas? | Chuck Yates Needs A Job PodcastNeed Help With A Project?

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Palinka vs. Wine: Budapest Cafe Chronicles Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/palinka-vs-wine-budapest-cafe-chronicles Story Transcript:Hu: Budapesten találkozunk, az Andrássy úton, ahol a történetünk szereplői - István, Csilla és László - egy kései délutáni kávéra ültek össze egy elegáns kávézó teraszán.En: We meet in Budapest, on Andrássy Avenue, where the characters of our story - István, Csilla, and László - sat down for a late afternoon coffee at an elegant café terrace.Hu: Azt beszélgettek, hogyan magyarázhatnák el egyszerűen, de viccesen a pálinka és a bor közti különbséget Tomnak, aki új-zélandi és eddig soha még nem kóstolt pálinkát.En: They discussed how they could explain simply, yet humorously, the difference between pálinka and wine to Tom, a New Zealander who had never tasted pálinka before.Hu: "A pálinka fogyasztásához," mondta Csilla szemeit forgatva, "gondolj George Clooneyra egy szál fehér pólóban, sunyiba fütyörészve, ahogy fel-alá sétál a Balaton partján.En: "To consume pálinka," Csilla said, rolling her eyes, "imagine George Clooney in a white t-shirt, casually whistling as he walks along the shore of Lake Balaton.Hu: Aztán képzeld mellé a bor fogyasztását: Sean Connery elegáns öltönyben a Pont híd alatt, halk csendben élvezi a Duna látványát.En: Now picture wine next to it: Sean Connery in an elegant suit under the Chain Bridge, quietly enjoying the view of the Danube."Hu: "László nevetett a hasonlaton, és hozzátette: "És azt ne felejtsd el megemlíteni, hogy a pálinka mint George Clooney, jóval intenzívebb.En: László laughed at the analogy and added, "And don't forget to mention that pálinka, like George Clooney, is much more intense.Hu: Nagy dobbanásokkal tölt el, amikor belépsz a szobába.En: It fills you with big sensations when you enter the room.Hu: A bor viszont, mint Sean Connery, finom, selymes és édes, de van benne egyfajta meghitt csend is.En: Wine, on the other hand, like Sean Connery, is elegant, smooth, and sweet, yet it has a kind of intimate silence."Hu: "István, a legkomolyabb hangú, viszont felvette a kesztyűt.En: István, with the most serious tone, took his turn.Hu: "Emberek, azért menjünk sorba," szólalt meg, "Kezdjük azzal, hogy a bor sokkal összetettebb ital.En: "People, let's go in order," he spoke up, "Let's start with the fact that wine is a much more complex drink.Hu: Számos ízjegyet találhatsz benne - gyümölcsöket, fákat, virágokat, akár még követ is.En: You can find numerous flavor notes in it - fruits, trees, flowers, maybe even stones.Hu: A pálinka viszont a tiszta, koncentrált gyümölcs ízének megtestesülése.En: Pálinka, on the other hand, is the embodiment of the pure, concentrated taste of fruit.Hu: És vigyázz, mert a pálinka, mint a George Clooney a pólóban, rendesen odacsap, ha nem vagy hozzá szokva!En: And beware, because pálinka, like George Clooney in a t-shirt, delivers a good punch if you're not used to it!"Hu: "Csilla és László nevettek István szavain, és még tovább folytatták a hasonlatok gyártását, néha meglepően pontosakat találva.En: Csilla and László laughed at István's words and continued to generate analogies, sometimes finding surprisingly accurate ones.Hu: De végül mindhárman azt fogadták meg, hogy a hétvégén megmutatják Tomnak az Andrássy úti sétányt, meglátogatják a Pont hidat a borozáshoz és végül hazaviszik a Balatonra a pálinkázáshoz.En: But in the end, they all pledged to show Tom Andrássy Avenue over the weekend, visit the Chain Bridge for wine tasting, and finally take him to Lake Balaton for pálinka.Hu: Hiszen a legjobb módja a kulturális különbségek bemutatásának, ha megélt, igaz tapasztalatokon keresztül történik.En: After all, the best way to showcase cultural differences is through lived, authentic experiences.Hu: Végül mindannyian abban egyetértettek, hogy a bor és a pálinka közti különbség, szubjektív és személyre szabott.En: In the end, they all agreed that the difference between wine and pálinka is subjective and personalized.Hu: Mindkettő remek társaságban, ahogy az esténk is remek volt.En: Both are great in good company, just like our evening was great.Hu: Vicces, egyszerű és mégis kifejező.En: Funny, simple, yet expressive.Hu: Az a lényeg, hogy megtaláljuk a saját ízlésünket, és szabadon élvezzük azt, amit szeretünk.En: The essence is to find our own taste and freely enjoy what we love.Hu: Talán ez volt a legfontosabb tanulság, amit Tomnak is szerettek volna átadni.En: Perhaps this was the most important lesson they also wanted to convey to Tom.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: “Switched Umbrellas: A Magical Exchange” Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/switched-umbrellas-a-magical-exchange Story Transcript:Hu: Egyszer Budapesten, a Váci utca egyik kis kávézójában üldögélt Péter és Andrea.En: Once in Budapest, Péter and Andrea were sitting in a small cafe on Váci street.Hu: Kampókat a kezükben csóválták, vitatkozva a folyamatosan változó magyar időjárásról.En: They waved hooks in their hands, arguing about the constantly changing Hungarian weather.Hu: Péter nyugtalanul pillantott ki az ablakon.En: Peter looked out the window restlessly.Hu: "Megint felhős lett az ég, valamit küldeni készül az időjárás," mondta aggódva.En: "The sky has become cloudy again, the weather is about to send something," he said worriedly.Hu: Mint a helyes barát, Andrea mosolyogva válaszolt, "Nem kell aggódni, az eső nem az ellenségünk.En: Like a good friend, Andrea replied with a smile, "Don't worry, the rain is not our enemy.Hu: Csak nézzük, most esik!En: Just look, it's raining now!"Hu: " Ahogy kimondta ezeket a szavakat, az ég elkezdett könnycseppekben sírni.En: As he spoke these words, the sky began to weep in tears.Hu: Kirohantak az ajtón, és ügyetlenül próbálták felnyitni az esernyőjüket.En: They rushed out the door and clumsily tried to open their umbrellas.Hu: Végül sikerült, ahogy Andrea és Péter cserélte az esernyőjüket véletlenül.En: In the end, it worked, as Andrea and Péter exchanged their umbrellas by accident.Hu: Zavartan indultak el ellentétes irányba, és valahogy úgy érezték, mintha valami furcsa történt volna.En: Confused, they set off in opposite directions, somehow feeling as if something strange had happened.Hu: Andrea átvette Péter esernyőjét, és meghökkent a súlyán.En: Andrea took Péter's umbrella and was amazed at its weight.Hu: "Péter, mi van ezzel az esernyővel?En: "Peter, what about this umbrella?"Hu: " kérdezte meglepetve.En: he asked in surprise.Hu: Péter kíváncsian megrázta a saját esernyőjét, majd meglepetve nézett rá.En: Péter shook his own umbrella curiously, then looked at it in surprise.Hu: "Valami nem stimmel, ez az esernyő nem az enyém!En: "Something is wrong, this umbrella is not mine!"Hu: "Mindketten bénultan álltak meg, és elkezdték vizsgálni a másik esernyőjét.En: They both stopped in shock and began to examine the other's umbrella.Hu: A sarkukban egymástól távolodva, lassan rájöttek, mi fordult szembe velük.En: Backing away from each other in their corners, they slowly realized what had confronted them.Hu: Péter egy dús, virágos esernyővel lépkedett, amit inkább egy tavaszi napra terveztek.En: Péter walked with a rich, flowery umbrella, which was designed more for a spring day.Hu: Andrea pedig egy merész, fekete-fehér csíkozott esernyővel sétált, ami inkább a szigorú téli napokra utalt.En: And Andrea walked with a bold, black-and-white striped umbrella, which was more indicative of the harsh winter days.Hu: Megálltak és egymásra néztek, a zavart és értetlenséget tükrözve a szemükben.En: They stopped and looked at each other, confusion and incomprehension reflected in their eyes.Hu: "Miért olyan más ez a másik esernyő?En: "Why is this other umbrella so different?"Hu: " kérdezte Péter, mintegy magához szólítva.En: asked Péter, as if calling him to himself.Hu: Andrea csak félénken felelt, "Valahogy én is ugyanezt akartam kérdezni.En: Andrea just answered shyly, "I kind of wanted to ask the same thing.Hu: Mintha ez az esernyő valami más lenne, egy másik világból származna.En: It's like this umbrella is something else, from another world."Hu: "Végül a kávézó elé értek, és elbizonytalanodott tekintettel a falnak támaszkodva beszélgettek.En: They finally reached the front of the cafe and were leaning against the wall with uncertain looks.Hu: Ekkor egy idegen férfi lépett oda hozzájuk, egy aranykámzsa a kezében.En: Then a strange man approached them, holding a golden cloak.Hu: "Önök az én kis esernyőm cserélte véletlenül?En: "Did you accidentally change my little umbrella?"Hu: "Andrea és Péter meglepetten néztek rá, majd összenéztek.En: Andrea and Péter looked at him in surprise, then looked at each other.Hu: Végre felfogták a helyzetet, és nevetve hozzávágták, "Igen, véletlenül esernyőt váltottunk.En: They finally got the hang of it and laughingly added, "Yes, we accidentally switched umbrellas."Hu: "Az idegen mosolygott, és a kámzsával integetett.En: The stranger smiled and waved his hood.Hu: "Ezért olyan másnak érzik az esernyőjüket.En: "That's why their umbrella feels so different.Hu: Egy kis varázslatot ejtettem rájuk, hogy új élményeket tapasztalhassanak meg.En: I put a little magic on them so they can experience new experiences."Hu: "Furcsának tartották a választ, de ahogy Pillanatnyit gondolkodtak, rájöttek, hogy valójában élvezik az új perspektívát, amit a másik esernyő nyújtott nekik.En: They found the answer strange, but as they thought for a moment, they realized that they were actually enjoying the new perspective the other umbrella gave them.Hu: Az egyedi esernyők közben életre keltették a város szokványos szürkeségét.En: The unique umbrellas brought the usual grayness of the city to life.Hu: Több esernyőtalálkozón találkoztak az összes többi emberrel, akik cserét végeztek.En: They met all the other people doing exchanges at several umbrella meetings.Hu: Mindannyian átéltek új helyzeteket és érzéseket, és a varázslat igazán beragyogta a mindennapjaikat.En: They all experienced new situations and feelings, and the magic really brightened their everyday lives.Hu: Miután a varázslat egy idő után elmúlt, Andrea és Péter ismét az eredeti esernyőjével maradtak.En: After the spell wore off after a while, Andrea and Péter were left with their original umbrella again.Hu: Visszatértek a kávézóba, leülték magukat, és visszaemlékeztek a régi időkre, mosolyogva a különleges kalandokra, amiket a csere hozott nekik.En: They returned to the cafe, sat down and reminisced about old times, smiling at the special adventures the exchange had brought them.Hu: Ahogy a kávé a kezükben melegedett, úgy mosolygott Andrea és Péter, tudva, hogy soha nem felejtik el azt a napot, amikor véletlenül esernyőt váltottak, és új érzelmeken keresztül tapasztalták meg az életet.En: As the coffee warmed in their hands, Andrea and Péter smiled, knowing that they would never forget the day they accidentally switched umbrellas and experienced life through new emotions.
