The fact that you understand what she means should be satisfactory, most guys never understand what the wife is talking about (or not, as the case may be). Consider yourself ahead of the game.
There are a few phrases that my wife still uses in spite of my corrections, I’ve learned that the icy glare and cold dinners are not worth the effort to correct her… um, grammatical quirks.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

"While" to mean "until" is valid Yorkshire dialect [wikipedia] [^]

Agreed, but in that case she should say "I'm going to read while I go to the foot of our stairs"

Well, Google claims that both "while" and "until" translate to "míg" in Hungarian, so I suppose a little confusion is understandable.

Not quite. Mig is while, but closer to until is the postposition -ig So "Until bedtime" is "lefekvésig", where lefekvés is bedtime.

Do you like to sleep alone. How does that translate?

It doesn't matter which word she uses; you are still wrong.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Unless she's reading while she walks to the bed, in which case that's totally correct.

Forget the while/until issue - she's still using GOTO!!!!!!
