Simple Hungarian, Conversational Topics, Pre-Intermediate Level Alexander Pavlenko

This collection of stories on fifty topics will help foreign students of Hungarian go through the most vulnerable period of learning - pre-intermediate level. At this stage students do not see their progress clearly enough and often feel increasingly anxious and frustrated. All the fifty stories are accounts of Julia's everyday life. Being a real person Julia tells her stories in a very natural way revealing her own style and manner, repeating the same grammatical structures and word combinations. As a result, students easily remember the stories, speaking more and more fluently. Based on the Speech Plasma Method the volume contains special fluency practice drills that generate "speech plasma"- super active and super productive state of mind - which helps you convert thoughts and feelings into words automatically. The more you practise the material of the book the more fluently you speak the language, the easier it is for you to express your own ideas and feelings in Hungarian. The title of the series is Simple Hungarian, for the stories are told in simple, everyday colloquial style, and for easy reference the English text is printed alongside.
