Dear Curt,
It has always struck me how well-arranged and systematic Hungarian
textbooks generally are, compared with textbooks for various Slavic
languages that I have taught. I still like an older book: Learn
Hungarian by Ba'nhidi, Jo'kay and Szabo', several editions published
by Tanko"nyvkiado', Budapest. There are tapes to go with it, and
an additional set of printed materials and tapes for self-instruction
that the Ohio State U. Center for Slavic and East European Studies
put out, which guide the learner through the book step by step.
