When do we recommend You our Listening Sets?

When you need STRUCTURE to your learning process! Our listening sets are designed carefully and we made sure to choose the most important vocabulary in the given topics. Furthermore, the audios are getting gradually more and more difficult so your listening skills will improve without worrying much about "What should I do next to get to the next level???".

When you are learning Hungarian on your own and it is going fairly well, but somehow you always have difficulties understanding the spoken language (listening comprehension). You try watching YouTube videos and listening to Hungarian radio but apart from understanding a couple of words or short sentences, somehow you always end up being frustrated and you feel that no matter how much you study and practise, somehow it doesn’t bring you closer to your goal: UNDERSTANDING native Hungarians!!!

When you are learning with a teacher and it is going well, but you feel that you need some extra exercises because you can understand your teacher fairly well but you know that she/he is speaking at a slow pace and in simple, understandable sentences using words that she/he knows you will understand. Plus you have already got used to his/her speaking style. And what’s more: Practice makes perfect!

When you would like to come to Hungary on holiday and you would like to practise everyday situations (introducing yourself, shopping, asking for directions, ordering food in restaurants, booking a table/room, using public transport etc.)

When you would like to become a Hungarian citizen and you are preparing for the Interview. In the elementary and pre-intermediate sets you will find topics and vocabulary that will help you a lot to prepare for the conversation in Hungarian!

When you would like to learn Hungarian but you do not know where and how to start. In these listening exercises you will find all the relevant topics and vocabulary that you need! As many words come up again and again, even with little effort you will end up remembering the most common words and expressions. And if you are ready to practise/study regularly, you will learn many new words and expressions in a short time!

When you are preparing for a language exam and you feel you could do with some extra practice. The listening exercises are similar to the listening exercises in the most common language exams, therefore they are going to help you a lot during the preparation.

When you got tired of the boring/usual texts of textbooks and you are looking forward to hearing something new, something fresh! We did our best to make the texts interesting, unusual or funny.

structured topic-based audios at three different levels
dialogues in different topics
monologues in different topics
audio files at a slow and at a normal pace (most audios are available at two different paces in the Beginner and in the Pre-Intermediate sets)
the transcription of the audio
the most important vocabulary (words and expressions) of the texts with their grammar forms together (required endings, irregular forms etc)
listening exercises (questions, multiple choice, gap-texts) to all audios with a key
four-five different voices in the recordings - there are speakers who are easy to understand and others who are more difficult to understand, just as in real life!
some of the dialogues/monologues are funny or surprising, unusual, therefore they will make you learn and have fun at the same time
words and expressions that you find in everyday life in Hungary - our texts are not usual textbook texts because we made sure to use many slang expressions as well to prepare you for real Hungarian speakers!
