Starting with the alphabet and correct pronunciation we're going to cover some tricky grammatical rules that are quite different from English. I am focusing on the ones that give the most headache to English speakers. This course is more than a "how to say this and that in Hungarian" tutorial. I broke down some heavy grammar stuff into easily understandable pieces so that you have a solid base you can build on.
