Learn it there, practise it here

Free resources are great for input — reading, listening, explanations. They are weaker at the two things that actually move you forward: speaking Hungarian out loud, and remembering what you met once. That is what OwnSlides is for.

Say it out loud

Talk to an AI tutor that answers back, or join a live room with other learners and native speakers.

Practise what you read

Turn a grammar point or article into exercises, so it moves from recognised to usable.

Keep the words

Save new words to My Words and let spaced repetition bring them back before you forget them.

This directory began from a community-built list of free language resources — a year of collecting and checking by Joanna (u/chlebka) and dozens of contributors who suggested links, shared freely. See the original list. We have since expanded, re-checked and re-categorised it, and we keep the per-resource credits where the original list recorded them.
