Nice comment. i moved to hungary, and im hungarianizing, or magyarizing if you prefer. The language learning is nothing at all as i expected for many reasons, but very satisfactory.

Thank you very much for this first lesson in Hungarian. I came to America in the seventies, having been born in Arad, Romania. I regret that I did not learn Hungarian as a child, but I am familiar with the sounds of Hungarian As a retiree from the Voice of America, with plenty of time on my hands, I decided to relearn this beautiful language (about half of Arad's inhabitants speak Hungarian as their mother tongue. So, here I go about learning this exiting language!

am learning Hungarian prior to a trip to Budapest in March. Really useful and what a fascinating language!

But, pronounced as you did, sounds very strange for a Hungarian, and I don’t see the necessity of doing so. Pronouncing what you call the “names” of the letters they will sound exactly equal as used in speech, because, as you stated, Hungarian is a phonetic language and their letters sounds equal in any word, including in their “names”. In English there are differences between the pronunciation of the “names” of the letters and their pronunciation in different words, because English is not a phonetic language, and the same letter could sound differently depending of the word. This is the reason for the necessity of “names” for the letters in English, but this is not the case in Hungarian.

I don't know if this will be seen, but thank you for this video. My great grandpa has Dementia, and is estimated to revert back to Hungarian within the next two years. And, A few of my family members (including myself) just said that we have to learn for his sake. So this video helped a lot! Thank you!

I want to learn Hungarian quite simply because it doesn’t come from Proto-Indo-European and that immediately fascinates me.

This was very helpful thank you! For some words I wasnt sure how to pronounce them correctly. Reading the words normally helps me a lot but with some I was still not 100% sure. Knowing the letters and sounds of the individual letters helped me a lot. Please keep making videos with the lessons. I tried a language course 10 years ago and again 8 years ago and 7 years ago and 4 years ago and last year and I always get stuck. I used to have a few Hungarian people around me, it helped me so much to hear them talk amongst each other, but we lost contact and I always get stuck again. Your videos are exactly what I need to get to the next words and phrases

Actually this is an interesting fact: if you pair all the letters with their 'y counterparts', you can see how they are connected. For example you have to change the pronunciation of t to get ty in the exact same way as you have to alter n's to get ny. The only exception is gy, because it's pair isn't g, as the alphabet suggests, but d. So the fact that you use d as part of a combination to indicate gy makes much more sense 😄

Before XVI century people used L and a bit softer version L. This was the original LY (nobody use nowadays) . That time LY wasn't same as J but around XVI century the original LY pronunciation slowly died out and changed to J. That's why there are two same pronunciation latter in Hungarian language.

FabulousDorka. My Hungarian dictionary states there is no "w" in the Hungarian alphabet.

English is my worse nightmare. AAArrrgh! Especially the grammar. Have 6 college credits in English, and still no grammar - the only way I passed was on creative skills alone. That is genetic so does not count either. ha ha

Well I found that s-added alphabets mean to be post-alveolar sound. C [ts] to cs [tʃ], dz [dz] to dzs [dʒ], z [z] to zs [ʒ], and add z to s to make [s] sound, since single s sounds [ʃ]... It's not so confusing writing system! I heard that recently ancient (traditional) Hungarian alphabets, rovásírás are revived. Which system will survive in the future? Interesting!

I love Hungarian. It’s so unique. For those that don’t know, the only (big) languages that exist in the language family are Hungarian, Estonian, Finnish (and Saami). And I like that it’s like Japanese and Finnish in that if you know the letters you’ll (pretty much) know how to say words that you read without having heard them before. But I find it so strange that an alphabet has more than one letter as one letter, but that’s like Japanese except Japanese has one sign while Hungarian uses the latin letters still. E and é isn’t the same sound, just short and long like a and á? I didn’t know, that’s difficult. And dzs and gy sounds almost exactly the same. A lot of the letters sounds the same it seems.
