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: megszentségteleníthetetlensége
skedéseitekért. Or: elkelkáposztástalaníthatatlans
ágoskodásaitokért. :D Brutal eh? :D never mind, keep learning!

magyar? magier? magic? magicland?
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 :)
