My language is understood throughout the world
…this seems to be a quote of mine, but honestly, I was not capable of understanding all the languages of the world.
I spoke an Austrian dialect, knowing a little bit of Latin and French. But i was really fond of the Italian language. Ah yes, I also learned English on my journeys to London.
But I tell you something: Though I’ve been living in Eisenstadt, which at that time belonged to Hungary, for such a long time, I was not able to speak Hungarian.
Therefore i ask you to help me: What’s the Hungarian word for “family”? I simply cannot remember.
You may find a clue at the Haydnhaus.
