Sziasztok Györgyi és István.
Örömmel látom hogy az oldal beindult.
Hajrá, csak Ãgy tovább!
Ahol csak tudom én is próbálom segÃteni a magyarul tanulni vágyókat.
Hello everybody keep doing good work on learning Hungarian.

This website is just what I have been looking for. I went to Hungary in October to look for my ancestral roots, and discovered that I remembered a lot more Hungarian than I thought. I want to go back, but I need to be able to speak and read Hungarian to feel more at ease. This will certainly help me in my quest.
How often will you be doing pod casts? I’m anxious to get moving now!! Thanks so much for this wonderful idea, and thank you even more for sharing it!

hey, im from Puerto rico, and i gotta say your podcast is great. I do have one question: can you tell me the literal translation of: Irigy Honaljmirigy
February 24th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Thanks Jorge. We talked about your question in our latest lesson, so look for an answer there in a few days!

Dear Steven -
Thanks so much for your podcast. My husband, 2 kids (ages 9 and 11)and I will be moving to Budapest this summer and will stay there for 3 years. I have been trying to at least learn some basics before we go. I began with BYKI flashcards and your podcast. Just recently I ordered a few books and CDs. It is not an easy language! I do enjoy your podcast a lot, especially all the cultural insights from Gyorgyi. Kosonom!

P.S. HOw do you say Polish in Hungarian?

Köszi Katarzyna! Hungarian is indeed a tough language, but it can be learned! When you go there, make sure you meet people who have learned it well so you can gain the confidence to master it yourself. I think that’s an important aspect of learning a language – seeing others who have done it themselves.
Polish is “lengyel” in Hungarian. (Poland is “Lengyelország”) I have no idea about the etymology of this word and would love to find out where it came from. We’ll cover the pronunciation of this in the next lesson. I personally love the Polish language and studied it at the Polish Institute in Budapest for about a year. The Magyars love Polish people, by the way.

Steven – Wow, you are a real linguist who goes for the challenging languages, aren’t you?
I like learning languages myself and that is why I do want to speak some Hungarian before I move there. I do realize you don’t need it in Budapest but a bit of a local language can’t hurt. I just started the Pimsleur course in addition to your podcast. I really like it, although their recommendation is not to write anything down, not to consult the dictionary, etc. I broke down by lesson 3. I can’t stand it. I must be able to visualize the word, that’s why I really appreciate you putting the text of the lessons on the web.
I am aware that “Polak, Wegier dwa bratanki” – Poles love Hungarians as well. It all comes from us having Stephen Bathory for a king in the 16th century!
OK, I think this is beyond comment – it is turning into an epistle! Looking forward o lesson number 8! Koszi! Kasia

Yes, I’m the same way in that I need things written down for me when learning a language. Perhaps some people can learn the Pimsleur way, but it’s not for me. Lesson coming soon, sorry for the lateness!
