WOW, I don't know if I would have the patience and time, but it sounds like it would be a great help. I have two cousins in Hungary and I have visited them twice. It becomes both a wonderful experience and also a very frustrating time. I wish I had the desire to learn the language when my father was still alive. Thanks for the link, I am very interested in what you think of this program when you get into it.

Anne, The site is great ... Thank You!!! When I listened to part of Tape 1, I remembered and understood some of the words I heard. In order to learn to speak and understand all the spoken Hungarian words, I'll have the print out the Student Text for each tape. There are 278 pages in the student text! The FSI Language Course general discussion forum has information about obtaining copies of the language books. It says "You can find all the books for free at a local 'Federal Depository Library'." I'm not sure if that means you have to use the books at the Library ... or if you can "pick up" a copy for free. See this site for listings of Federal Depository Library Directory in the United States. http://www.gpoaccess.gov/libraries.html Again, thank you.

I came across this tonight and I thought some of you might be interested in checking it out. Online audio, not only Hungarian, but many other languages. It looks like it has audio along with the written language. I haven't checked it out fully yet. Plan on doing so tonight. http://fsi-language-courses.com/Hungarian.aspx Anne
