In this online lecture, we introduce you to the Hungarian language and the pronunciation. All the content that is used in this virtual lecture (vocabulary, phrases etc) comes from the Stella Hungarian course - available at [ http://www.stellacourses.eu ]. The courses cover all aspects of language learning. Furthermore, they are comprehensive, easy to use and you can work at your own pace.

This video is from Unit 1, module 5 - step 1.

The Stella project was funded with support from the European Commission.

  • My dear friend, who created this video course: as PEC00 has also noticed there's a big mistake in this lecture: "gy" mustn't be pronounced like "j" in "jeans" or "G" in "German" (this sound is marked with "dzs" in Hungarian) but like the consonant you pronounce in French "adieu"... sorry, I cannot find any English examples to the pronounciation of this letter at midnight... :) I guess there must be some...

  • Thank you nagypal333. Actually, a university lecturer wrote it. We get a lot of (usually angry!) feedback from Hungarians about the "gy" sound. This is just a reference as the sound doesn't exist in English (adieu is good but can be pronounced in 2 different ways).

    Anyway! You can hear the speaker pronounce it correctly, as he is a native speaker. Thats the best thing to do :)

  • I laughed so much on this video..and I'm Hungarian

  • @AndyMKordo "e" is a regular E. "é" is closer to an "ee" sound. A trick to get it right is to say "e" while smiling :)

  • Why is "é" pronounced like an "ee/i"?

  • good lord!

  • :) There are words in the hungarian language, what cannot be said even by hungarians, for exaple: megszentségteleníthetetlensége­skedéseitekért.

    Or: elkelkáposztástalaníthatatlans­ágoskodásaitokért.
