Description
About the Book. The Hungarian Phrasebook & Dictionary gives you Hungarian expressions for small talk and practical situations while travelling. Lonely Planet uses English as the language of instruction, gathering phrases from greetings to questions about food and transport. The book suits you if you want to try out a few words yourself and get more out of your encounters during your trip to Hungary.
Contents. You’ll find pronunciation guidance, phonetics and basic grammar alongside topics such as transport, accommodation, directions and meals. Menu terms provide support when ordering, while conversation starters make it possible to begin a simple chat. Expressions for asking for help are also included. A two-way dictionary with around 3,500 words offers further reference options, and a pull-out card gathers quick phrases that are easy to bring along.
Who is this book suitable for? The book suits travellers who can read English explanations and want physical language support. Before departure, you can pick out a few expressions you think you’ll need and practise the pronunciation a little. Along the way, the topics give you a place to look for exactly the phrase you need. It also makes a good gift idea for someone who likes to learn a bit before the trip. You can start simply and build up gradually, with ready-made phrases as an entry point and the dictionary as support whenever a new word sparks your curiosity.
From inspiration to your own plan. Browse through the relevant topics before departure, so you know where to find the expressions you need. Choose a few phrases and give yourself time to get to know the material. You can practise together with your travel companions and return to the book when a specific situation arises. Short entries make it possible to learn a little at a time and build on what you already remember. A short greeting can be a good starting point when you want to approach someone along the way.
