It does seem like a good text but I think it's only available in Hungary. I think that Prileszky and ErdÅ‘s also wrote a language learning text back in the Socialist days. I forget the name, but it's quite amusing if you ever happen to see it. Anyway, thanks again! steven aERON, thanks for the recommendation.

I have been scouring the internet for Hungarian sources and yes there are a few somewhat useful ones, they are still few and far between. I am really enjoying your website, thank you very much for all of your hard work, it is much appreciated!!! Also if I may make a recommendation- I am still new to this site so maybe you have it posted here but I have found an INCREDIBLY useful set of Hungarian workbooks...at least for my learning preference these are great, maybe not for everyone...but I have checked most of the others out and they just did not ' do it for me'. Anyway I would like to reccommend the following book (note I do not have Hungarian fonts yet), 'Hallo, itt Magyarorszag!' by Erdos Jozsef and Prileszky Csilla. It is a red and green book with white lettering and says 'Akademiai Kiado' at the top. It comes with 2 workbooks and 1 key. The key is in English, German, French, and Italian, AND it comes with 2 CDs. Anyway thanks again! Good morning,

The pronunciation is a bit atypical though and easy to screw up so I'll have Györgyi say it in the next podcast for you! steven John,

You can say, “Walesi vagyok.”

The pronunciation is a bit atypical though and easy to screw up so I’ll have Györgyi say it in the next podcast for you!

Congratulations on starting up the podcast. A lot of work isn't it? ha ha :) I'm Jack from the Lithuanian Out Loud podcast and I enjoy listening to your series. I have one comment and one question. First, I understand you caught some criticism for your English accent when speaking Hungarian. We were able to avoid that on our podcast series by declaring many times that I am the native English speaker learning the language and my wife Raminta is the native Lithuanian speaker. We approach the series with that in mind, I don't want anyone to learn Lithuanian from me since that would be ridiculous. The question is, you do a great job of placing Hungarian characters in your mp3 files so that listeners can read text on their mp3 players. How do you approach that? I've tried many different ways to place Lithuanian characters in our mp3 episodes and it always comes out like gibberish. Any suggestions? Do you use a particular program? Thanks! ~ Jack :) Hey guys!
