Welcome to Simplified Hungarian
Hungarian is notorious for being one of the most challenging languages in the world. But if you are preparing for the simplified naturalization interview, you need targeted instruction to get interview-ready.
Simplified Hungarian is built specifically around the format and vocabulary of the simplified naturalization interview. Jimmy passed the exam. Teo is a native speaker and language educator who guided him (and many others) through it. Together, they built the podcast that didn’t exist - one designed for beginners who need to get interview-ready.
Three episode types, released weekly:
Building Blocks - core Hungarian concepts broken down clearly, one building block at a time
Story Sessions - Teo tells a short story in Hungarian, then he and Jimmy break it down in English
Consulate Question of the Day - a simulated consulate exchange, broken down so you know what’s being asked and how to answer
Two tiers available:
🆓 Free Tier - access to every other episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify
🌶️ Paprika Tier ($8.99/month) - access to all episodes every week, plus a Study Pack for every episode
