Looking for people to test my Hungarian learning app (free alpha)

Posted by JCBenalog@reddit | budapest | View on Reddit | 0 comments

I was planning a trip to Budapest and wanted to learn some conversational Hungarian. After looking at the available apps and resources, I found them pretty insufficient for what I was looking to do and decided to build my own course.

For background - I taught myself Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and a little Mandarin using a speaking-first approach - basically just repeating phrases and building vocabulary before worrying about grammar. It worked way better for me than traditional classroom learning.

Right now I have 15 lessons ready - enough to cover basics like ordering food, asking directions and getting around. I want to test this out prior to creating the remainder of the course, which is designed to get you comfortable speaking in basic conversations.

Think of this as a runway to being able to engage in conversation practice, not another "fluent in 30 days" app.

What I need: 20-30 people willing to test the first 15 lessons and give honest feedback on what works and what doesn't. 15-20 minutes a day for 2-3 weeks.

What you get: Free access and a solid foundation in Hungarian before your trip. You'll also have direct say in how this develops.

If you're planning a Hungary trip in the next 3-6 months (or just interested in Hungarian), drop a comment or DM me. I'm keeping this small so I can actually respond to everyone's feedback.

Thanks in advance!
