Episode types
Building Blocks
Language instruction

Core Hungarian concepts broken down clearly. Each episode focuses on one building block — possession, greetings, numbers — with native speaker pronunciation throughout.

Consulate Question of the Day
Role-play practice

A simulated consulate exchange. Teo plays the officer, Jimmy plays the applicant. Each question is broken down so you know what's being asked and how to answer.

Story Session
Listening with Teo

Teo tells a short story in Hungarian. Then we break it down in English — vocabulary, grammar, and the cultural context behind it.
