After working as a software developer and contractor for over 14 years for a whole bunch of companies including CSC, Proquest, SPSS and AT&T in the UK and Netherlands, I decided to work full-time as a private software trainer. After spending four years in the beautiful city of Budapest, Hungary and a year in Berlin, I now live in Italy.

Needs more repetition to remember the words similar to what babble does.
By John E. Hayes, on 3/10/2020
I found the back and forth banter helps to remember the words. The occasional laugh and repetition makes you feel you are part of the conversation.

slow and boring. but I am learning a few things along the way. It was ok.

I speak Hungarian and this is very basic to me, I also disagree with certain use of the teachers description of the word vörösbor, vörös refers to the color of blood. (vér) Red in Hungaarian is pirós not vörös. Also Parancsojan refers to dictate not "Here we go" but the person learning Hungarian would not know this. You could not ask some body to show you a red car by asking Hol van a vörös kocsi? You would ask Hol van a pirós kocsi. I wish the teacher would have picked a better word to represent her words when teaching somebody that has no understanding of basic Hungarian. It might confuse some people.

Very good but could be more repetitive for retention purposes.

Great Hungarian course!
By Darren Cameron on 5/10/2015
The course itself is informative, covering key grammar points and containing some useful vocabulary. However, it does contain mistakes and the course ends halfway through a lesson. The course is quite amateurish, though this can be forgiven for the low price. I would like to see John and Zsofia begin again as I think they would make a much better product second time around.

As a beginner I found this course extremely useful and the explanation was excellent with good examples. Looking forward to the next videos.. if there is to be more.

Building sentences skills step by step. All the words read in the video are most likely to use at our daily life. Especially, for a traveler who shops on the street, or needs a direction and so on. The video introduce the simple words with comfortable casual talk which makes me more easily to sophisticate the words and memorize the vocabularies quickly.

Great! Allowed me to learn the basics. I wish there were more lessons though :(
