Listen to 85 HUNGARIAN words that are very similar in pronunciation - minimal pairs - to train your ears, so you won't mix them up next time. The first step towards better pronunciation is to be able to differentiate foreign sounds. Then you have to teach your muscles in your mouth to pronounce the Hungarian sounds correctly.
For Beginners, at the Practice PART: 🔊 Listen carefully once.
At the second time: 👄 stop the video with the space bar after every word pair and try to mimic me.
For Advanced learners, at the Practice PART: 🔊 Listen carefully once.
At the second time: 👄 try to mimic me without stopping the video.
🔊 The best way to learn Hungarian is through practice. Challenge your 'ears' and listening skills with the test then do the practice part - which was spoken by a Hungarian guy from Budapest.
🎧 Though it is a listening exercise you can easily learn basic Hungarian words if you pay attention. Don't forget to write down ✍️ the Hungarian words (with English translations.) to your notebook.
I also created Hungarian and English subtitles for you (switch it on if you need that.)
Whether you're learning Hungarian because:
🔴 you're preparing for your simplified Hungarian naturalization citizenship interview
🟢 because your partner is from Hungary
🔴 or because you're just interested in the Hungarian language and culture, it's always worth improving your listening comprehension and expanding your vocabulary with new Hungarian words.
