How to read a poem out loud

Here is a reading of a poem.

  • The reader is Zoltan Latinovits.  I can't tell you much about him.
  • The poet is Sandor Petőfi.  Hungary has had many great poets but he is their 'national' poet - they have named a radio station after him.
  • The poem is in Hungarian - I can't tell you much about it. 

But what I can tell you is that this is how to read a poem out loud - Latinovits brings the sounds of the words that make up the poem alive.

Don't worry if you don't understand what a single one of the words mean - you don't need to.
