Why Learn Hungarian?

The most widely spoken of the Uralic group of languages, Hungarian is the official language of Hungary and an official language of the European Union. Beyond Hungary’s borders, the language is spoken in Serbia, Romania, Slovakia, Israel, Slovenia, Ukraine, Austria, the United States, and Croatia. More than 17 million people worldwide speak Hungarian. One of the historic languages of Eastern Europe, the language first appeared in a printed book in 1533. Hungarian is regulated by the Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics and uses a Hungarian alphabet based on the Latin writing system.

Why Choose Pimsleur for Online Hungarian Lessons?
Learn Hungarian with the Pimsleur App
Speak Hungarian with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Hungarian. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Hungarian language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
