The German and Hungarian languages belong to different language families. Mostly, there are only vague ideas or clichés about the other language. We will clarify their structures and try to imitate their sounds. What is totally normal in the Hungarian language but foreign to the German ear and vice versa? Which cultural backgrounds can be found in language? By distorting letters and by language games we will fathom out linguistic habits- and make a game out of it.
