The Only Language Program I Use
I just returned from a week's vacation in Budapest. Having followed the Pimsleur Hungarian program for only 13 lessons, I was able to greet people, order food and drinks, ask simple directions, make purchases, and do some small talk. Most amazingly, my Hungarian friends told me my accent was excellent. Just think how I'd have done if I'd had time to complete the whole course! I've been using Pimsleur Language Programs for years, usually before I make an overseas trip. In addition to Hungarian, I've also learned conversational Italian, Irish Gaelic, Cantonese, Icelandic, and Dutch. I've tried other programs--forget about the useless grammar rules and isolated vocabulary. Nothing gets you up and running with useful conversation and a native accent like Pimsleur. Try it. Just trust the process. You may be able to do one lesson a day, or, like me (I'm not as young as I used to be) you may want to repeat it once or twice before moving on. It's easy, and it really enhances the travel experience.
