Hungarian Language Learning
How to learn Hungarian, or, if you are Hungarian, how to learn English.

So you've decided to learn the language of Budapest, and hope that someday you can stand along a bridge crossing the Danube and have a conversation with whomever is walking by? Or maybe you'd like to sit in a theater and understand the nuances of the plot?

Could it be much simpler, that you have a friend here in the United States who grew up near Lake Balaton and you would just like to share a few words in her language?

Find here many books for the expert speaker and for the beginner. If you are new to America, and are just beginning to learn English, you'll find a few books to help you as well. Check out the books in both lists. Some, like the English-Hungarian dictionaries, are useful to a speaker of either language.

One recommendation: buy at least one product with tapes/CDs. Hungarian vowels take some getting used to for English-speakers, and reading the pronunciations in a book isn't enough. Also, buy some music, or visit a Hungarian church or restaurant in your area. Not only will you enjoy the authentic culture, you'll hear words the way they are actually said.

Looking for an electronic Hungarian dictionary? See our collection of inexpensive options.

We have some excellent links on the right to assist you in learning Hungarian, or just needing to check a word or two. Be sure to check out the churches and restaurants areas. If you want to learn Hungarian, you'll find it helful to be where Hungarians are speaking.
