Hungarian "Lessons"

Well, I have begun official training – I suppose – in the Hungarian language.  I have learned quite a bit through the orientation that we did, and by experience- but it’s certainly not enough to get me anywhere.   So one of my colleagues operates a language school – and his colleague is going to teach me Hungarian.  She has never taught Hungarian before, but she teaches English and she IS Hungarian, so I can’t go wrong right?  Well – she doesn’t have materials, because she has never taught it before – but who knows.   Anything has to help?  I go twice a week – and for my homework, I’m conjugating verbs.  I have (unofficially) studied 6 languages, and I have never begun the second lesson with verb conjugation – but whatever – when in Rome right?  On a lighter note, maybe now I'll be able to translate the hand written note that was left in my mailbox by a neighbor- I'm pretty sure it says something to the effect of "please don't do your laundry so late at night" but I'll have to work on my Hungarian before I can get both paragraphs down... yikes.
