Mixture of Languages II
Tell us your story
I had entered Hovione as Telephonist in September 2000 and after about a month, Mr. Villax asked me to connect to a firm he with which he was in constant contact, specifying the name of the person he needed to speak to.
The name he mentioned, in Hungarese (mixture of Hungarian and Portuguese) didn't seem to me to be that of our usual contact.
I made the connection and before passing it on, I told Mr. Villax the name of the person on the other end of the line to make sure it was correct.
After a few minutes, Mr. Villax rang me and asked how many languages I spoke. I told him and he, jokingly, replied "Dear Girl, you'll now have to learn "my" Portuguese.
That is how I learnt Hungarese.
