Hungarian sounds unlike anything nearby — but its spelling is almost perfectly regular. Learn the forty-four letters, then work through short lessons from your first greeting to telling a story. Every word is spoken aloud.
74 lessons, 1,305 words and phrases. The first three lessons are free, no account needed.
Szia!
Say it: SEE-yaw
Hi! — and bye, too
Every word and phrase has a recorded clip, at full speed and slowed right down. Your ear learns the music before your eye learns the spelling.
Each entry comes with a plain-English respelling, the stressed syllable marked. Hungarian always stresses the first — you will never have to guess.
Flashcards, a quiz at the end of every lesson, and spaced review that brings back the words you are about to forget.
Built on the CEFR scale used by language schools and exams across Europe. Each level has its own can-do checklist, so you always know what your Hungarian is good for so far.
