noah's favorite hungarian resources
learning about comprehensible input changed how i approached language learning
why comprehensible input worked for me
the point is simple: you hear the language enough times that rhythm and meaning start to stick. then speaking becomes easier.
when you can understand a little, sentences stop being random noise. that's when you can start practicing your own voice. if you want the guide that totally changed how i viewed language learning (as someone who has been learning for the past 10 years), it's the dreaming spanish guide to comprehensible input.
hungarian alphabet (with tutor dani)
kids' shows (easy input that still feels real)
conversational learning (but still comfortable)
Sikideg (podcast mode, car listening)
this order worked for me, but the biggest issue was staying motivated and not feeling alone while you are learning. so honestly, i loved sikideg because it made me want to work to understand, and they are so funny. i built hungarian into my routine, but my biggest rule was to not learn when i didn't feel like it, so it didn't feel like a chore, it felt like fun.
my routine changed, but at first it was one hungarian video a night (alphabet, epres eperke). then it changed to on my drives i listened to hungarian with sziszi or sikideg, and now it’s when i feel like it. the best part is i speak every day on language soup.

i built language soup because i went through all these resources and thought that they were hard to find but great once i did. then i realized that i had no one else to speak with besides my mom and that sense of community and practice would help me stay motivated and keep improving!
after you log in, pick hungarian and send your first voice memo. you don't need to be perfect, you just need to show up, then wait for the daily challenges to drop and reply to them!
