Buy Rough Guide Hungary.
I have never used the Rough Guide books, but have read that they include a lot of background and history, sometimes at the expense of a wider variety of info. I think that that is good, it's probably better to have someone filter for you a little bit. I also think that history and background can really help you enjoy a place. |
Buy Hungarian: A Complete Course for Beginners (Teach Yourself (Book and Cassette)).
I used this book along with private instruction and thought that it was pretty good. I didn't use anything else except what my teacher provided. I didn't learn as much as I would have liked, but that was mostly my fault. Other people don't like this series very well. Perhaps it doesn't do well as sold source, but if you are combining it with something else, it works well. |
Buy Lonely Planet
