Developed for fast learning This free Hungarian course material was created by the FSI to give their foreign service teams quick and effective language training in regions where the Hungarian language is spoken. Dozens of languages including Hungarian These free FSI Hungarian lessons are just one of the dozens of foreign languages available.

The emphasis in instruction is everywhere on speech, and an indispensable component of the learning process is the voice of the instructor, whose native language is Hungarian. On no account should the student attempt to use these materials without either a native instructor or recordings of a native instructor's voice. The method of instruction incorporates guided imitation, repetition, memorization, pattern practice, and conversation. Working under the supervision of a linguist the instructor's role is to serve as a model for speech as Hungarians really use the language in actual conversation.

In this connection the instructor will maintain the normal tempo of pronunciation as the classroom standard at all times; he will never distort his speech by slowing down. The student's job is to watch and listen carefully to the instructor and to imitate as exactly as he can the sounds that he hears, together with their pitch and stress patterns. He must keep in mind that to learn an entirely new set of language habits, he will require constant correction and repetition.

Each time the student is given a new model to practice, the instructor says it for him first. The student should never attempt to read from his text, but rather should watch the instructor and pay attention to him as he says a word or utterance for the class.

As far as possible, he should leave his book closed during the presentation and concentrate on the speech and actions of the teacher. The normal procedure in class will consist of a great deal of choral and individual repetition of the basic sentences and drills, for only by frequent repetition after an authentic model for speech can habitual fluent and accurate reproduction of the sounds and forms of the foreign language be achieved.

The basic sentences are preceded by "build-ups" giving the component parts of the utterance separately. Each new item which is introduced appears first as a build-up. The instructor will ask the students to repeat the build-ups separately first, then combined into larger units, and finally the complete new sentence or utterance.

The basic sentences are subdivided into numbered sections, each to be treated as a unit, repeated in chorus and individually, with and without build-ups, until the students' imitation is satisfactory. Only then may a new section be taken up.

The time required to cover each part of the dialog in this way will differ widely, 'depending on the size and ability of the class.
