| Michael: meaning “this” in English. |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) ez |
| Michael: Listen again and repeat. |
| Lena: ez |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is |

| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) 40 (negyven) |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: 40 (negyven) |

| Lena: forint |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: Listen to the speaker say, It's 40 forint., and then repeat. |

| Lena: 800 (nyolcszáz) |
| Michael: 800 |
| Lena: (slow) 800 (nyolcszáz) (regular) 800 (nyolcszáz) |
| Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with 800 |
