Zsofia Nemeth I am Polish i don't known how I landed here but I will try to at last be able to say hi in Hungarian. It is so difficult, but I love melody of ur language. Xxx
Thank you. Koszi! I was born in Budapest in 1950, and came to America with my parents in late 1956. (You know why.) I have lost all of my Magyar, so It's nice to pick up a bit, again.
I'm Lengyel. Have Magyar family from both mom's and dad's side. Beautiful language, beautiful country, wonderful people. Szeretlek Magyarorszag. Kocham Wegry. Magyar Lengyel ket jo barat. Egyutt harcol s issza borat. 🇭🇺🇵🇱♥️
I realize that you made this video 5 years ago but you are the third person teaching Hungarian phrases that I've seen on UA-cam and you are the best. You took the time to explain why the letters make the sounds that they do. The others taught the same phrases but they didn't explain how and why the "sz" made an "S" sound in English and how the "gy" made the sound that it did. As an older American trying to learn a new language, it isn't easy but trying to learn a language that is as difficult as Hungarian is truly difficult. Your teaching method was excellent. I am looking forward to checking out more of your videos. Thank you very much.
God, bless The Hungarian With joy, with prosperity, Provide them protective arm If they battle enemy. Calamity torments them long, Bring on them a cheerful year, These people have now suffered For the past and the future.
Amen. One of the great peoples of this earth. I hope they can protect their bloodlines through this assault on their culture by the godless yids who are behind the horrible eu
Just got back from Budapest and your videos were very helpful. Beautiful city, friendly people, great food. Knowing a few words and phrases goes a long way. Köszönöm szépen!
You are a great teacher. You make it easy to learn. I just meet a lady from Hungary a week ago and will impress her. Hopes in asking her out on a date. Thank you and hope to hear more.
Hi Eszti, hogy vagy? Thank you very much for this channel. I'm Brazilian girl just married with a Hungarian guy. I'll surprise him speaking some Hungarian words 😍 And I really need to know how to speak Hungarian (a little bit) to talk with his family. So, again köszönön
Yeah :) In Slovak it is S and Š. I wonder why even our Polish cousins don't know how to pronounce Škoda auto, or Prešov (city). Š = polish SZ and hungarian S.
Becose Szkoda in Polish would mean an "Detriment" or "Discredit" but we like this car so thats why we don't call it Szkoda :D But with the City i totally agree...
I keep traveling to hungary regularly, quite a few of these I know already, the good bye is a nice addition, thanks, I find the language interesting to listen to on the radio while I travel tghrough Hungary,
jason 8.borne is it? Always thought that Russian and Hungarian are nothing alike. Specifically what do u find easy? What are other languages you speak?
@@azhars.7963 I've just listened / watched Hungarian for the first time. Letters are different, but sounds are mostly the same. For example I didn't notice any English-like w and th sounds in Hungarian in this video. gy sound was the trickiest. There is no such sound in Russian, but I guess it can be approximated as гь
Mikhail Bisserov probably yes, but I was mostly concerned about writing and its look rather than sound, I might be wrong but that’s maybe because they are nomads from current Kazakhstani territory and it is bordering with Russia and other related staff , btw thank you for clarifying.
The Hungarian language is such a challenge! I have downloaded various grammar and other lessons and I'm doing my best. Thank you Eszti for the help! (I'm Greek.)
I'm not going anywhere, but I'm half Hungarian, and I enjoy videos like this. That "gy" is very tricky. Luckily, I heard my grandmother say it so much when I was little, and you know how easily little kids pick up language.
The Hungarian language sounds very sweet and reading the history of the Magyar people is very fascinating. I hope Hungary remains this way & doesn't get spoilt
Sziasztok, Philip vogyok. My wife and I visited Hungary in 2019 and were so impressed by the culture that we're returning again in 2022. The lessons you have presented had allowed me to practice Hungarian language on our first visit. And although my ability is very limited, people in Hungary were very nice in allowing me not to be afraid of making mistakes speaking. My goal for 2022 is to attempt using more sentence structure. I'm looking forward to more video lessons. Koszonom! Sziastok
I can speak a decent amount of Italian and a little bit of German, mostly from college and duolingo, but I decided to have some fun with Hungarian because training your mind to understand more difficult languages makes it easier to learn others. That last phrase is...insane. I cannot say that phrase, I don't even know what sound you're making, no matter how many times I hear it. I keep thinking "Hogey vogey" haha. Thank you, though, this video was very helpful. I did the first few lessons on duolingo and I was so lost, so i came here and I think I have a bit of a grasp as to what I'm doing.
Lived in Budapest nearly 50 years ago and love it. Went there with 8 other couples a few years ago for a River cruise. We all had dinner at me favorite restaurant on the Fisherman Bastion, the Alabordos. Hope I spelt it correctly. Anyway it was magical. Visited the market and had goulash and sausage. I’d love to go back again. I appreciate so much more in my old age than in my youth when I took so much for granite. Truly one of the most beautiful cities and people in Europe.
Hát ez isteni volt! Nyilván magyarként nincs sok szükségem arra, amit itt tanulhatnék, de annyira magával ragadó stílusod van, Eszter, hogy most úgy érzem, megnézem a többi videódat is! ;)
My grandfather was fluent in both Hungarian and English, born in Ohio, but i was never able to pick it up! My mom's parents were fluent in Polish and English and i had a WAY easier time with Polish as a kid but i was too stubborn to learn it then! Now at 51 I'm trying to simultaneously learn Polish and Russian! Your video is very helpful!!!
Eszter, i'm from Brazil and I want to learn to learn Hungarian. Because to get the Hungarian nationality I need to speak in this tongue. So, i found you! I'm very glad fot it! Thank you!
Just passing through, and Wow! Flashbacks! Growing up whenever we visited my Grandparents it was a hodgepodge of Hungarian, Lithuanian, Russian, and Romanian with English thrown in just to further confuse things. The Grandparents and all the relatives all together made a cacophony of languages and sounds. Thanks.
6:38 I from Poland and I had a hungarian teacher in my class, she was an english teacher. I wanted to be nice and I remember when I said "Viszontlátásra" to her and she was so happy, I learn only this one word to say without an accent 😊😊😊
Thanks for this lesson, I have Hungarian heritage & learned my first Hungarian words in the 70's every once in a while I look to find Hungarian Language lessons & I want to learn more & really Study.
This is super helpful! I am studying in Budapest Hungary for a year and trying to learn some Hungarian. However, most people when I do try to speak it get annoyed with me and go back to English. But overall the people here are very nice.
I was really lost about Hungarian because I didn't find many videos about it but your video is so good and easy to understand. I'll parctice Hungarian now. I'm Brazilian and in my city there aren't Hungarian course so it's so difficult to learn. Thanks. You're' so good and your explanation is clear.
Hello Eszter, i am really amused by your english (i mean it very positive because i ve been in Texas for a couple of month where i actually learned english by myself a long time ago...) and i love your pronouncing, sounds to me like a south dialect which i love so much :) I found your channel "by coincidence" because i have a hungarian-ukrainian friend which i talk in czech-slovakian language to (ok, i know sounds weird, but he did work in Bratislava/Slowakia a long time) and I am a german, speaking czech, slovak & partially PL/RU . My intention to "have a look how to learn hungarian" is because i am really looking forward to move to Hungaria so it will be necessary to speak the language. You definitely gained a new follower today :)
Thank you so much for taken your time to do this. I work in a Hotel and have very many Hungarian friends that work here and are very shy talking in English. I want to learn this language so I can make them feel at home. They are such Beautiful people and would like someday travel to Hungry it must be the most beautiful place earth. Again Thank you. Roy
I hear so many people say Hungarian sound almost like Finnish and I didn't belive that.... Untill Now. Its creepy how close it sounds like to my home language.
I'm brazilian, i let me tell you, how great teacher you are, i speak portuguese my native language, and english studying, and i found hungarian real nice, so i'll try to get the basics from your classes here, i felt awesome saying ''viszontlátásrá'. :)
About 45 years ago I was absolutely head over heals for a Hungarian boy, and I learned some words. I was shocked to be able to recall them when I heard and saw them on these videos. I remember this phrase Nem tudom hogy mit irjak meg.
I used to have a gf back in when I was 19 from Belarus , she could speak Hungarian almost perfectly lol. Crazy how bilingual people are from Europe, wish more people were like that here in the states
I am now in Budadapest for dental tourism, this has been very helpful already I have been using thank you (Koszonom) and also I found the word Please (kerem) very helpful in setting the mood when I attempt conversation. People are very amiable if you show you are trying to learn their language, its almost as though they are being complimented.
Thank you! My family is foreign speakers and originally came from Hungary, and visiting my aunt to learn is very difficult at the moment. I've been wanting to learn for a long time and this is a great start!
Sooooo cool :) I came here from Joci Papai's origin and I have to admit I found a wonderful, but even more impressive and touching video on the web I absolutely feel comfortable with. Not only all thumbs up but a lot of respect and empathy I do feel here. Thanks for putting this one up! Really appreciated :)
Fogom jakorolni a maygar (I know HORRIBLE grammar xD) When I was a kid, hungarian was my first language, I learned from my mom, but I lived in panama because my dad is from there, and panama is only spanish; thanks for giving the first steps to remember ! I'll try to say it in maygar (ths should be hilarious!) Nagyon közonom szepen Eszter nany!!! Te vagy egy nagyon okos ish szep lain ! Yo napot!! Ish bishtosh fogom meni maygarorzag mert ot van a niag mama ish kel meni oda ish beselni a nagy mama ish eni a jo maygar caya!!! Hahahahaha ... that was fun even though its probably so incorrect ! Happy new year!!!
Nagyon ügyes vagy! Én jót nevettem rajta, aranyos volt :D (You are very smart! It was cute and funny, I liked that!) *Nagyon szépen köszönöm, Eszter! Te egy nagyon okos és szép lány vagy! Jó napot! És biztos el fogok menni Magyarországra, mert ott van a nagymamám is, el kell menni oda és beszélni a nagymamával, és a jó magyar kaja!* Vigyázz! (Take care!) Helyesen magyar, nem maygar ;) (The correct one is MAGYAR, not MAYGAR)
I'm not sure why I'm seeing comments comparing it to Polish. Maybe there's similarity in the phonology or the accent, but Hungarian is actually of no relation to Polish, belonging to the Uralic language family, which isn't even part of the Indo-European family tree. Its closest relations are Finnish and Estonian. On a side note, it's cool that I actually knew these already. My grandmother is grew up in a Magyar community, and her parents spoke Magyar when they didn't want her to understand them. The first German phrase that I learned was "Hogy van," and she was more familiar with it than "Hogy vagy."
Languages are also influenced by nearby languages, they get new words, change their pronunciation etc...so it is only natural that Hungarian share some sounds with Slavic languages. I know Finnish and to me Hungarian has many sounds not found in the Finnish language (like B and those crazy S-sounds). Some of the grammatical features like the vocal harmony, declination of the nouns and the absence of grammatical gender and gender-specific pronouns are quite easy to grasp after studying Finnish, but I do not understand a word of written or spoken Hungarian.
You did a very nice job, I am learning Magyarul for over 3 years now and I love the language (and the country). The sound is like music to my ears. It's not an easy language for sure, but very interesting just because not everyone does understand or speak it. I often git asked why at all I am learning Hungarian and I always say, everyone learns French or Spanish and there are so may who speak it, but to learn Hungarian is so unusual it surprises people and that sets you apart. I also found Hungarian people are really helpful when you are trying to speak their language, it brings meeting people to a whole different level to know their language. So, well done, ügyes vagy és üdv Dublinban. Szép hétvégee kívánok neked. :-)
I just met a hunger Korean woman and I'm falling in love with her in this has helped me so much I'm excited to use these phrases thank you so much for making this video please make more you make it easy and I can understand your teaching is very well done
Thanks This is very helpful. Some day I will get to visit the village my grandmother (nagy anu?) came from back in 1909. You are doing great. Isten velid
Thank you Eszti. I’m visiting Budapest in two weeks so I’m glad to have seen this video with your very clear explanations. Particularly the explanations on the sz, and the hogy vagy. Looking forward to learning more.
malayu polyglot I am from Hungary. I know the letters and sounds but I feel too embarrassed to speak Hungarian because I am scared i'll pronounce it wrong😞plus I am going to go to Hungary in five days so I need to practice.
I was born in Ardeli, Transylvania. Pretty easy for a native Romanian speaker, especially since my Grandma was Hungarian and still used some Hungarian words.
I'm currenrly learning phrases and words via Dualingo :) Glad that I found your vids. They will be extra helpful! I'm from Finland so I kinda got curious about Hungarian language and it's been fun to learn phrases these last two days since I started 😂 Ones I remember best are Hogy Vagy? Jó reggelt kívánok. Közönöm szépen. Nem jól vagyok. Nem jól vagy. Igen and etc.
Str0ng_P0wer_Thancc another fin here lol, i don't think its that hard, we do have ö and ä but i think the pronouncing things is the hardest part because in finnish language you pronounce things very bluntly
This is tight. My wife and I are going to Hungary next month. My moms Hungarian so all her side of the family is out there. This is a good refresher on some of the basic expressions. Thank you. Kosunem a vachara! lol...
I love learning languages and am fascinated by Hungarian. Your posts are fantastically helpful and I am planning a trip to Budapest in the spring. Carol from the UK
My dad's family is Hungarian (my maiden name is Kuzma) but everyone who came over on the boat died so young that no culture or language was passed down. I've always wanted to learn Magyar!!
Eszter Gottschall thats good and thanks so much about that but i can ask you about universties to can study there so i need your help about that , my email mohamed.khorshed@live.com
omg!! im hungarian but you taught me a word or two...i left Hungary when i was 4 so ive been in australia for 55 years... thank goodness i still speak hungarian with my parents...
Thanks for posting these videos! I learned Hungarian from my great grandparents and since I don't have anyone to converse with. I have forgotten much of what I knew! Your videos refresh my memory. Now if I could figure out how to find the rest of my family that remains in Nograd County, Hungary that would be awesome! Internet searches have not helped me much! Can anyone out there have any suggestions?
I’m part Hungarian trying to connect with my ancestral roots , and although I have no one here to speak Hungarian with (I’m American), I feel like I connect with this language innately. I love languages, and you’re a great teacher! Thank you! It didn’t seem hard to grasp at all! 😊

I am now in Budadapest for dental tourism, this has been very helpful already I have been using thank you (Koszonom) and also I found the word Please (kerem) very helpful in setting the mood when I attempt conversation. People are very amiable if you show you are trying to learn their language, its almost as though they are being complimented.
Actually is kind of easy for polish tongue ;)
Greetings from Poland ;)

Thank you! My family is foreign speakers and originally came from Hungary, and visiting my aunt to learn is very difficult at the moment. I've been wanting to learn for a long time and this is a great start!
Eszter is beautiful!
+gotchacam Incredibly beautiful woman,and an excellent teacher !
gotchacam Hungarian women are the most beautiful in the world
My mother was Hungarian
Just looks a bit manly... square jaw and big teeth.
I forgot the straight horizontal shoulders and the higher painted eyebrows.
I'm not that sure that this is a woman. I'm pretty sure that it is not.
Thank you for this video. I just returned from Budapest and loved it!
Köszönöm! I'm hoping to study a masters degree in Budapest and this video has been so useful :)
Sooooo cool :) I came here from Joci Papai's origin and I have to admit I found a wonderful, but even more impressive and touching video on the web I absolutely feel comfortable with. Not only all thumbs up but a lot of respect and empathy I do feel here. Thanks for putting this one up! Really appreciated :)
Fogom jakorolni a maygar (I know HORRIBLE grammar xD)
When I was a kid, hungarian was my first language, I learned from my mom, but I lived in panama because my dad is from there, and panama is only spanish; thanks for giving the first steps to remember !
I'll try to say it in maygar (ths should be hilarious!)
Nagyon közonom szepen Eszter nany!!! Te vagy egy nagyon okos ish szep lain ! Yo napot!! Ish bishtosh fogom meni maygarorzag mert ot van a niag mama ish kel meni oda ish beselni a nagy mama ish eni a jo maygar caya!!!
Hahahahaha ... that was fun even though its probably so incorrect ! Happy new year!!!
Nagyon ügyes vagy! Én jót nevettem rajta, aranyos volt :D (You are very smart! It was cute and funny, I liked that!)
*Nagyon szépen köszönöm, Eszter! Te egy nagyon okos és szép lány vagy! Jó napot! És biztos el fogok menni Magyarországra, mert ott van a nagymamám is, el kell menni oda és beszélni a nagymamával, és a jó magyar kaja!*
Vigyázz! (Take care!) Helyesen magyar, nem maygar ;) (The correct one is MAGYAR, not MAYGAR)
Yes it is very broken.
Nice! Keep going! 😁😁
Wow, that's awesome! I bet you can speak Spanish too!
So good to be multiliguel!
Hungarian was my first language also
Nagyon jó videó és Esztinek a hosszú leeresztett haj áll a legjobban szerintem.
More please, sooo helpful!
This is so helpful, still after 3 years learning this unique language...the gy gets me everytime.
I'm not sure why I'm seeing comments comparing it to Polish. Maybe there's similarity in the phonology or the accent, but Hungarian is actually of no relation to Polish, belonging to the Uralic language family, which isn't even part of the Indo-European family tree. Its closest relations are Finnish and Estonian.
On a side note, it's cool that I actually knew these already. My grandmother is grew up in a Magyar community, and her parents spoke Magyar when they didn't want her to understand them. The first German phrase that I learned was "Hogy van," and she was more familiar with it than "Hogy vagy."
Languages are also influenced by nearby languages, they get new words, change their pronunciation etc...so it is only natural that Hungarian share some sounds with Slavic languages. I know Finnish and to me Hungarian has many sounds not found in the Finnish language (like B and those crazy S-sounds). Some of the grammatical features like the vocal harmony, declination of the nouns and the absence of grammatical gender and gender-specific pronouns are quite easy to grasp after studying Finnish, but I do not understand a word of written or spoken Hungarian.
We both eat cabbage rolls!
Thank you so much 🎉
You did a very nice job, I am learning Magyarul for over 3 years now and I love the language (and the country). The sound is like music to my ears. It's not an easy language for sure, but very interesting just because not everyone does understand or speak it. I often git asked why at all I am learning Hungarian and I always say, everyone learns French or Spanish and there are so may who speak it, but to learn Hungarian is so unusual it surprises people and that sets you apart. I also found Hungarian people are really helpful when you are trying to speak their language, it brings meeting people to a whole different level to know their language. So, well done, ügyes vagy és üdv Dublinban. Szép hétvégee kívánok neked. :-)
Nagyon szupi a videó, lájkoltam is. Talán a "gy"-t valahogy úgy lehetne megfogni, hogy hasonlít "due"-ban elhangzott msh-ra, de nem biztos persze.
Very beautiful sounding language ! Greetings from Transylvania!

Thank you Eszti. I’m visiting Budapest in two weeks so I’m glad to have seen this video with your very clear explanations. Particularly the explanations on the sz, and the hogy vagy. Looking forward to learning more.
Very good. Today I start learning Hungarian.
malayu polyglot I am from Hungary. I know the letters and sounds but I feel too embarrassed to speak Hungarian because I am scared i'll pronounce it wrong😞plus I am going to go to Hungary in five days so I need to practice.
Gucci Llama How was your stay in Hungary? I'm probably going next year!
How's it going?
I’m an American and thank you for explaining this I was actually able to say a lot of it
Great! Please do continue with this. :) You explain very well!
I was born in Ardeli, Transylvania. Pretty easy for a native Romanian speaker, especially since my Grandma was Hungarian and still used some Hungarian words.
I'm currenrly learning phrases and words via Dualingo :) Glad that I found your vids. They will be extra helpful! I'm from Finland so I kinda got curious about Hungarian language and it's been fun to learn phrases these last two days since I started 😂 Ones I remember best are Hogy Vagy? Jó reggelt kívánok. Közönöm szépen. Nem jól vagyok. Nem jól vagy. Igen and etc.

You speak Finnish? How hard do you think it would be to learn for a Danish person? Also, what's the grammar like?
Str0ng_P0wer_Thancc another fin here lol, i don't think its that hard, we do have ö and ä but i think the pronouncing things is the hardest part because in finnish language you pronounce things very bluntly
This is tight. My wife and I are going to Hungary next month. My moms Hungarian so all her side of the family is out there. This is a good refresher on some of the basic expressions. Thank you. Kosunem a vachara! lol...
Eszti sounds like Eesti - Estonia in Estonian :) Greetings from a Finno-Ugric cousin!
very good teacher, I've loved it and I love Hungarian
This was so helpful, thank you!
Thank You Eszter Gottschall, I am from Türkiye, and I want to notice that, all the sounds are familier for me...

My dad's family is Hungarian (my maiden name is Kuzma) but everyone who came over on the boat died so young that no culture or language was passed down. I've always wanted to learn Magyar!!

Thanks for posting these videos! I learned Hungarian from my great grandparents and since I don't have anyone to converse with. I have forgotten much of what I knew! Your videos refresh my memory. Now if I could figure out how to find the rest of my family that remains in Nograd County, Hungary that would be awesome! Internet searches have not helped me much! Can anyone out there have any suggestions?
Jesszusom, de szép ez a csaj!
I’m part Hungarian trying to connect with my ancestral roots , and although I have no one here to speak Hungarian with (I’m American), I feel like I connect with this language innately. I love languages, and you’re a great teacher! Thank you! It didn’t seem hard to grasp at all! 😊
Hey 🌹❤️
