You do not need any previous knowledge of Hungarian. We begin with the very first sounds and letters and build confidence one step at a time.
Curiosity is welcome
Created for Children—Enjoyed by Adults Too
The workbook was created mainly with children in mind, but adults are warmly invited to use it as well.
Sometimes the best way to learn is to become curious and playful again: read aloud, repeat unfamiliar sounds, listen carefully, complete simple activities, and celebrate every new word.
There is no need to rush. Hungarian has 44 letters—but we will make friends with them one at a time!
