The Hungarian Basic Course is written to provide students with the basic structure of the spoken language and a vocabulary to make practical use of both the spoken and written language while in Hungary. The course is intended to be colloquial, and emphasis is placed on idiomatic use and proper pronunciation of the spoken language. However, it also provides grammatical notes and instructions in the use of the written language. Each unit includes a set of basic sentences, notes to the basic sentences, notes on pronunciation, notes on grammar, transformation drills, variation drills, vocabulary drills, translation drills, response drills, conversation practice, and additional situations that are brief descriptions that promote free conversation. The Hungarian Course is divided into two volumes. Volume I contains units 1-12 and Volume II contains units 13-24. The course assumes the student has no prior knowledge of Hungarian and is fully self-instructional. Volume I contains 24 CDs and a 278 page textbook or 1 DVD with all lessons on MP3 with the textbook in a PDF file format. Volume II cotains 26 CDs and a 348 page textobook or 1 DVD with all lessons on MP3 with the textbook in a PDF file format .
