Beginner Hungarian Lesson pt.1: The vowels of the Hungarian languge

[@thaihm]

Tracking day 1 for me. I’ll report back in 3 years. Thanks for the vowel lesson!

[@yogalife365]

What's up after 3 years ? Did you learn?

[@thaihm]

@@yogalife365 it’s been only a year actually and I’ve learned a few things. Still beginner. I had to pause in studying daily since moving to Hungary is not optimal with the current situation. It’s a hobby now. Thanks for asking! I’m hoping the situation changes and I’ll get back on it.

[@EržebetRadičević]

Really like your channel. You are methodic and do things slowly, just what we, beginners, need. Rather than running through words, sentences and grammar. Aaaand you are the first to ever admit that Hungarian is difficult! One of the hardest languages to learn.

[@fabcvlogs]

I like your version. Learning Japanese Language to Hungarian language is challenging for me but you made it easy for me. Thank you very much. Soon to be in hungary.

[@prontoatutto]

Finnaly I found something simple. Probably I will watch all your videos 👍 Greetings from Italy

[@hungarea]

Molto bene! I'm glad you're here!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

I will watch them as well, as I just started seriously learning Hungarian - I already knew a few words that I previously learned, plus two songs (the lyrics are in Hungarian and I know most words / verses) and, I noticed that Hungarian isn’t as hard as ppl think, because the patterns and verb endings are easy to remember, and the words are usually easy to remember as well! Hungarian is a category 3 language like Irish and Scottish Gaelic! I am actually learning all three, and also Italian / Galician / Catalan / Gallo / Latin / Occitan / French / Esperanto etc and I am advanced level in Dutch and intermediate level in Norwegian / German / Swedish and Portuguese and native speaker level in Spanish and beginner level in Welsh / Old Norse / Cornish / Gothic / Manx / Norn / Icelandic / Danish / Faroese / Slovenian / Frisian and the other languages that are on my list of languages I want to learn and improve!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

However, the Ö sound doesn’t exist in English (the U in burn is a schwa sound) but, it exists in German and Swedish and it’s the same as the Œ in the French word cœur and it’s pronounced the same way, like an EO sound that’s pronounced in one sound without a break between E and O and, the Ü also exists in German and it’s an YU / YOU / IU sound that’s also pronounced in one sound without a break between the Y sound and the U sound, while the É sound in Hungarian kinda reminds me of the É in Icelandic, but in Icelandic it’s more like a YE / JE sound!

You teach very well and your accent is very pleasant:) Köszönöm! 🇭🇺🌹✨🖤✨

[@juliestrickland2145]

This is so helpful. I’ve been struggling with a vs á, e vs é. Köszönöm szépen! 🙏

[@sandortoth3793]

Szia, Sándor vagyok. Third gen Hungarian from NZ. Learning Magyar to reconnect and learn more about my heritage. Jó munka, I look forward to your videos :) Nagyon kösönöm szépen!

[@hungarea]

Szia Sándor, én is Sándor vagyok! :D I really appreciate why you're learning Hungarian, please keep it up!

[@vincenzovinciullo4666]

Hello, thank you for your excellent video! I have found your Hungarian lessons finally, so I am very happy with this. Keep it up! I know this Hungarian language is very difficult, but I am trying to challenge it. I love learning Hungarian grammar, vocabulary, reading, etc.

[@leffieg.4497]

Thanks for teaching us, i really want to learn because my husband is a hungarian. I will try to watch all of your videos. T

[@haifaayari9222]

This is the most useful hungarian lesson I found on KZbin! Thank you a lot

[@olsokolrus407]

I am happy to find this channel, it is really helpful! I enjoy learning Hungarian and the videos are so very helpful! I love the vibe. 💖

[@liareads8475]

Are you sure you weren’t a teacher when you made this? 😂 Thank you so so much! So far, this has been the only playlist that delves into phonetics. I learn better that way as then I’m able to pronounce words better even if I’ve never heard it. 💚

[@jakehandy9254]

Well done! Very helpful to this Canadian trying to learn Hungarian!👍

[@GodmyX]

Thank you! I'm Czech but I've got some Hungarian workmates. They speak some Czech but still I'd like to learn some Hungarian for their sake! ;)

[@cinzia7831]

Thank you very much! I find Hungarian phonetics quite tricky but your lessons are extremely useful 😊

[@mikasaackerman4493]

I watched almost every video and I'm happpy that I found yours, very eaasy and clear video, planning to apply for the hungarian scholarship the few next months and I want to learn some basics in case I got the opportunity to come there :)

[@objevtezanzibarsmohamedem1278]

Thank you for the lesson i hope it will proceed on daily😀

[@hungarea]

Well, if not daily but quite frequently, yes.

[@pinksparkle1965love]

Thank you brother appreciate ❤

[@muhipongun]

Amazing channel 👏🏻👏🏻 köszönöm Sandor for this great work 🤟🏼

[@ashleymatossian8265]

Thank you for this. I'm trying to pronounce "Bela lugosi" full real name "Béla Ferenc Dezső Blaskó" and this was extremely helpful!

[@barrysteven5964]

This is an example of when it helps to have a northern English accent. In the north east we pronounce the sound in 'say, day, play' as é. So to a Hungarian it sounds as though we're saying 'szé, dé, plé'. Similarly, the vowel sound in the words 'go, low, ago' we pronounce as ó. So we say 'gó, ló, əgó'. And we don't make these sounds into diphthongs either. So it's a tiny advantage in learning Hungarian if you're a Geordie!! 😂

[@hungarea]

Haha, I guess so! Brian Johnson of AC/DC also speaks with a Geordie accent, right?

[@ericjohnson6634]

Pronouncing your long vowels without the off-glide is actually an advantage in most foreign languages 👍

[@matiasarguello3874]

@barry. Well, exactly! Because when he is comparing the Hungarian "ó", I wouldn't say it's the same as "low" in many English accents. I believe the Hungarian language doesn't have the "schwa sound of English diphthongs on those specific vowels. Here from one trying to understand the beautiful and challenging Hungarian language. 😅

[@erdemfun9605]

Hello, i liked your tutorials and i follow them. They help me so much. I am planning to visit Budapest on March, i hope : ) By the way, I am from Turkey and some words are same in Turkish or there is sound similarity. For example Alma, we call it 'Elma' in Turkish : )

[@hungarea]

So I heard! We also have the word "sorompó" which I think is "sarompo" in Turkish. And honestly, "kicsi" and "KÜÇÜK" are also not far from each other. I hope you can visit us in March!

[@yogalife365]

You are crushing it from day 1, lesson 1... Thanks...

[@cristianboldisor1175]

It resembles French in a way for the accents put on letters even though it is not exactly the same. I.e j'ai mangé vs je mange

[@karlonu1512]

Great video bro! Thanks a lot and greetings from Panama!

[@hungarea]

Gracias!

[@eunoiavision7567]

Great video. How would you say 'space lord? Could you do a video on place names in Hungary? When we are driving down the country roads, the place names are unrecognizable. It would be good to get an idea of how - to pronounce them. Also, many places have the same pre or suffix such as var, puszta, nagy, etc. Thank you.

[@hungarea]

I would say "Space lord" is "űrlord". But we don't reallyhave a Hungarian equivalent for this. As far as places go, maybe sometime i nthe future I'll talk about them.

[@HimaniSharmarinku]

Thank you for the video. It’s really helpful 😊

[@I_good_at_alaphabet]

Thank you for this, it's really helpful.

[@AnneliFyhr]

Hungarian is hundreds times easier to learn than gaelic 😂 I have Hungarian friends, want to greet them properly. Köszönöm ❤

[@lauradavis1633]

I know this is a long shot but I am trying to find the meaning of a word that "sounds" like chooch in English, but was a hungarian nickname for a friend. Her Hungarian grandfather used to call her chooch. (spelling unknown) and the meaning was lost when he died. Any chance you might know what he as calling her? Thank you in advance.

[@hungarea]

Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea. It doesn't sound like anything that is commonly used. It must have been something that was between them. Sorry.

[@lauradavis1633]

@@hungarea thanks anyway : )

[@Csatadi]

Csúcs? It means peak or excellent in slang. I'm not sure how long the excellent meaning exists.
