1.0 out of 5 stars Far too basic..., February 11, 2005

....to be useful. Learn colors, time, food, and numbers, but you won't learn how to pronounce anything on your own or put a sentence together, let alone learn any meaning of the words in the few sentences they offer to teach. If memory serves you well, you can parrot the few sentences, but overall you'd be better off taking a bunch of pictures of the same items and pointing and grunting when it comes time to communicate. Also, quite a few of the words they want to teach you are english derivatives, like auto, bus, telephone, cola, etc. Save your money, find another resource. This is more game software than educational.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad for an Introduction to Hungarian, January 22, 2005

By 

Dallas Long (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Hungarian - Beginning Level [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I wanted to refresh my Hungarian after being away from the country for a while. This is a good course for building a beginner's vocabulary. The interaction and the games are engaging and interesting, but the skill level was too remedial for me. I finished nearly all the lessons within 24 hours. I wish the lessons were more advanced like what the German and Spanish versions offer. My only real complaint is that the software introduces no grammar or conjugation, just word recognition and pronunciation.

3.0 out of 5 stars vocabulary, May 30, 2006

By 

Samantha (Southlake, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Hungarian - Beginning Level [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

this program has lots of vocabulary, but will not help you any on grammer (which is a bigg thing) or sentences. it is great for just learning vocabulary and it is interactive but as far as communicating in sentences it is not good at all.
