Anyone interested in learning Hungarian would be very happy with this course. I am a language fanatic currently studying Romanian, Spanish, Turkish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Finnish, French, German, Maori and Hungarian. Of all these languages Hungarian is the one I know and love best and have been learning now for about 9 years. I am using the FSI course mainly for revision. It is a little old-fashioned (it was written in the early 60s) but it is very thorough with excellent explainations of the grammar, 1000s of helpful excercises and approximately 70 hours of audio. There is also a graded reader with both text and audio. I have investigated many language courses and have not yet seen one as good as this. If anyone is thinking of studying this notoriously tricky language i can tell you it is well worth the effort. Hungarians will love you for making the effort and if you get to an advanced level you will be able to enjoy some of the wonderful literature ( much of it inaccessible to non-Hungarian speakers ) that this country has produced.

Ditto - I bought the original course on tape years ago, and have been studying it off-and-on for about four years - very tough!  But there is no better source for learning to pronounce this language, other than living in Hungary. Clap
