EGY KIS INSPIRÁCIÓ
”Yes, I can! I certainly can!
I can stop yesterday
From obscuring my TODAY!”
Just a Little Inspiration For You
Mivel a nyelvtanuláshoz és az idegen nyelvű kommunikációhoz elengedhetetlen az önbizalom és a motiváció, szeretnénk ezen az oldalon néhány vidám, biztató és felemelő történetet és kisfilmet ajánlani figyelmetekbe. Reméljük, hogy ezek a példák nemcsak a nyelvtanulásban, hanem az élet más területén is inspirációval szolgálnak majd.
Remember our motto: Yes, You Can!

Our new favourite:
AUSZTRÁL TOM
This young guy took up a really strange hobby: studying Hungarian. With a very funny Hungarian accent and a great sense of humour he is also teaching Australian everyday slang while he makes you laugh at the interesting twists of the Hungarian language. If he could acquire our impossible language we shouldn\'t complain about the English grammar.

British Television Talent show
In the following two extracts you can see some inspiring and uplifting stories by the contestants of the famous British talent show. These remarkable characters give examples of real talent and overcoming lack of self-confidence even though originally they were victims of negative preconceptions and prejudice from others. Truly enjoyable!
PAUL POTTS:
Believe in your impossible dreams!
At first sight nobody would have believed that this shy, humble and rather loser-looking fellow could make it to the final. However at the moment he started to sing enchanted everybody. Eventually he became the winner by 2 million votes. Watch how the judges\' faces change during his performance.

A MESSAGE FROM SUSAN BOYLE:
Old age is a new page
and not a broken cage
Watch how a funny lady, 47 wows the cynical judges with her extraordinary singing in the auditions. Although she was considered too old in a young person\'s game her performance was an inspiring victory for talent and artistry in a culture obsessed with physical attractiveness and presentation. She ended up getting second place in the final.

TEAM HOYT's motto: You CAN!
One day the boy asked his father: Would you participate on a marathon with me? The father had heart problems but he said yes.
Later the son asked his father: Do you think we could participate on an Ironman, as well? (The Ironman triathlon is one of the world’s most challenging race: consisting of a 2.4 miles (3.86 km) swim, a 112 miles (180.25 km) bike and a marathon (26 miles 385 yards, 42.195 km) run, raced in that order and without a break.)
Father and son became one body.
