This lecture is designed to aid foreigners who are beginning to learn Hungarian as a second language. Many of the available textbooks and lectures have been made for use in a college Hungarian language program and thus are ill-suited for self-study. Other lectures either have exceedingly long explanations or teach limited phrases for travel situations, which make it harder for the students to maintain interest.

To make the study of Hungarian easier and more enjoyable, as well as to acquaint students with the most practical and useful Hungarian grammar, vocabulary and expressions, I put as much information as possible in to this lecture. 

To foreigners who have accepted the challenge of learning Hungarian, my only hope is that this lecture may bring you closer to the living and breathing language.
