This is a good introduction to Hungarian self-study. Hungarian is a very difficult language and requires a lot attention. The book does an adequate job of explaining grammar, pronunciation, and inflection. The accompanying audio is great and enables you to hear native speakers of such a unique language.

Having said that, it is not the best book because it moves very fast. Also as the chapters progress, they become choppy. At times I felt lost when trying to decipher the dialogue tables and felt the author left our vital vocabulary.

This is a good start and I'm sure there are better sources for learning Hungarian. Thanks!

I tried to take a Hungarian course but I was the only one who signed up so they cancelled it. I've read that Hungarian is the only language the Devil respects.

I've gone from beginner to conversationally fluent, and this book was my most important source for mastering basic grammar.

There isn't much out there for those intrepid few who wish to teach themselves Hungarian, and most of the people who I've met here in Hungary, myself included, have used this book. I think this is a really useful little language course. This relatively small volume is packed pretty full of information, but it's still fun to work through. The dialogues are a really useful way to practice pronunciation and tend to deal with a wide range of basic conversational topics in a memorable way. Highly recommended.

a great book for beginners, the tape or CD is helpful

Wydawnictwo Literackie zaczęło wydawać nawet niezłe podręczniki/samouczki do nauki języków obcych. Znajomości węgierskiego jeszcze nie wypróbowała, bo ciągle się uczę.

A terrific place to start. This combined with a ton of bravery and patience will get you on your way to one hell of a tough, but wonderful, language.
