Hungarian pronunciation practice

Szia!
Wanna practice Hungarian pronunciation? I recorded one word with each letter (sound) of the Hungarian alphabet. Remember, for effective practice you should sound out the words after me. If you want to practise the individual sounds check out this video of mine:

This is THE BEST hungarian instructional video I have ever come upon, with a clear portrayal of the letters, their names, and how they are pronounced. Good job.

[@hungariantutor]

Cheers Grace, glad you found it useful.

[@TheGozluklu]

"give up?" Are you kidding me? I fell in love with this language! Thank you very much for sharing the beauties of Hungarian! Best wishes from Turkey

[@danaaalto7493]

Just discovered these lovely videos! so helpful....My parents were hungarian but they passed away when I was only 21 and since then I had no chance to practice so forgot almost everything. These videos bring it back. I need to relearn Hungarian in just 2 months as I am going to visit there and the older people don't speak English. Two months! at least I still have the pronunciation right (more or less). So grateful for these!!

[@BowiesPH]

Revisiting this video about a month later and I’m proud to say that I’ve made progress. I almost have all of the sounds worked out. “Gy” seems to be the hardest and it’s used a lot in my proactive because of the references to Hungary and Hungarian (Magyar). Thank you for making this video. Köszönöm!

[@maddyg3208]

My wife's name is Györgyi. After 30 years I still can't pronounce her name the Hungarian way! Pretty hopeless really ... 😎

[@markusfarthofer8721]

I love those videos you make. Köszönom! The doromb is also a traditional Austrian instrument. We call it "Maultrommel" or "Brummeisen". It is still manufactured in Upper-Austria and a typical instrument for Folk Musik here.

[@Alberto-ts5hv]

And it is an Italian folk instrument too, typical of Sicily.

You are the best Hungarian tutor, on KZbin. And the funniest by far. Keep up the good work.

[@Rattchen]

Mister, thank you for recording this video. I am Polish and find learning new languages fascinating. Therefore, I have recently decided to learn Hungarian. I have already learned English (MA) and German (B1) and I hope knowledge of these two (or three, counting Polish) will help me learn Hungarian. Thank you for your work.

[@andydomonkos8308]

I'm the same way. I'm a native English speaker learning Spanish and German. I also have a fascination with Hungarian. I would recommend a great movie in Hungarian called Kontroll. Also watching the smurfs on KZbin (in Hungarian) has been helpful. Good luck and let your curiosity burn like the sun.

[@evanray57]

Are you planning to do some more teaching. I find your style and delivery very good…

[@leichensuppe]

In Polish, "vers" is pronounced almost the same and it means the same. We write it "wiersz", though. Maybe you know it, but i'll say it: in Polish "sz" is pronounced like your "s" and "s" is pronounced like "sz" :)

[@mess6654]

Wow! Thats teally interesting, good to know

[@noel1970]

As far as I know "kurwa" has also the same meaning...

[@janmorais4883]

dzsem and dżem are also the same :)

[@memmedbaku4606]

I wonder if the Poles decided to designate those sounds with the opposite letters or Hungarians. It seems to me whoever did it, they did it just to be different. 😁😁

[@sashasiregar1238]

Glad to know that "Ember" in Hungarian is pronounced the EXACT same way in Indonesian! Only difference is that here it means "Bucket" :)

[@hungariantutor]

Wow, you always learn something new!

[@asimpletonsguidetothetruth5441]

And in English it means "smouldering, dying fire" - no flames just coal or wood that is still burning.

[@DanielliJ]

love it! the only thing that was confusing is that it seemed like you were saying the name of the letter versus the sound it makes. it took me a minute to figure that out after watching the video with the sounds of each letter.

[@hungariantutor]

I decided to focus on the sounds and didn't want to do the names of letters. It would have been confusing and they are less important in my opinion.

Szia! Greetings from Western Massachusetts. I went to Hungary several times while I was living in Prague for three years. I spent time in Gyor, Budapest and my favorite; Lake Balaton. At that point I was teaching English and trying to master Czech, so as much as I tried to dabble in Hungarian my brain was hardwired for Czech (plus I was with Czech friends when I went). Now that I have some time I have been turning my attention to learning Hungarian which always fascinated me. I find your videos perfect. After stumbling for the past year trying to find a good resource I came upon your lessons. Please keep them coming as you teach so well. Your style is very similar to the way I tought - Introduce - Repeat - Reinforce and always use Music. I am still quite the beginner but you helped me count, greet people correctly and learn the pronunciation which was always my problem. Köszönöm!

Excellently done, Kosonom. The dzs and gy sound very similar to me. Are they essentially the same or is there a subtle difference that I am not hearing. My grandfather spoke Magyar as a young child and translated for my great grandparents who were from Hungary. I hope to learn enough to visit their home.

[@bernardovitiello]

the gy sound is more like a d sound followed by a semi vocalic y sound(like in yes) while the dzs sound is just the same as english's j sound

[@bernardovitiello]

exactly, it's a palatal stop

[@bernardovitiello]

I think sh sound in hungarian is more common, thus, all the s combinations pull the sounds to sh like, zs=voiced counterpart of sh while z is voiced counterpart of s, cs=ch while c=ts and so on so I GUESS it can make some sense

[@EireProductions]

I'm gonna guess that "zsiráf" means "giraffe".

[@EerelandHistory]

Yes:) zsiráf means giraffe
