Start here before A1
Hungarian can feel difficult at the beginning, so this Starter path gives you more time with the language before full A1 stories. Work through the lessons slowly, repeat the dialogues aloud, and use the reader modes to move from supported text to original Hungarian.
Recognition target
300-500 common words, phrase chunks, and short formulas.
Active target
100-150 phrases you can say, adapt, or answer with.
A1 readiness
Short supported paragraphs, slow TTS, daily dialogues, and simple rehearsed answers.
How to study
- Listen with browser voice or recorded audio when available.
- Read in expanded mode first, then hover mode, then original mode.
- Repeat the dialogue aloud and swap one word to make it personal.
- Reread older lessons every few days before adding new ones.
