digital art is so fun until i look up a tutorial and they're like: "multiply" "lock your layer" "blend brush" "fill layer" "clip" "set to normal"

i'm in the process of learning hungarian, and i was wondering if you had any resources you usually recommend or tips? i've been using duolingo for the very basics and making vocabulary lists for memorization but i know that won't be enough for a full grasp of the language, especially with, gestures at hungarian conjugation vaguely. i'm dating a native hungarian speaker so i'll be able to practice it fairly regularly but i'd like to have a grasp of the basics so that i can understand a bit before i start immersing. thank you so much! :D

OH SHIT THAT'S GREAT!!! well first of all. christ. good luck. we literally have to take intense grammar classes for 12 years just to get it and some people still don't it is. a LOT lmao

second of all uhhh I usually recommed people watch dubbed cartoons like peppa pig for the very very basics but that's rly more helping out, i dont really know any good online programs tbh, my main recommendation is to combine sources so duolingo (which. isnt that good for hungarian ngl coz it just teaches you phrases but absolutely Nothing abt the grammar such as the four different versions of "you" etc) + youtube videos + online tutorials + the main thing which is LANGUAGE BOOKS. preferably ones that start at the verrrry basics. like ik everything is online nowadays and I've only ever learned languages by like. orbiting around them until i was fluent so I don't habe much experience Actually studying but language books are sooo useful and usually very well put together, we have a thing called the Library of foreign books in budapest that has a shit ton of them, so maybe try looking around your area to see if you can find anything like that, or just buy a few for yourself?

the main thing I'd start with is the alphabet and how each letter is pronounced (which is where stuff like youtube comes in) tbh like. we have wayyyy more letters than english but we're phonetically consistent so getting the hang of oóöő and shit like gy and ty and dzs etc will make your life a dozen times easier

as for the grammar it's. really really really complicated BUT !! the good news is that it's Very organised and once you get the hang of the rules (which. again we need 12 yrs of grammar classes to do) it'll be way easier

another thing is don't be afraid to mess up!! it's better to say stuff even if you're wrong than to not say anything. hungarians will literally give you all the money they have amd a big fat kiss if you even just say kurva, noone minds grammar mistakes, we love anyone who even attempts this language

also uhmmm if you ever have any questions feel free to ask me i fucking love grammar lol

ps you'll want books that detail grammar rules and have little charts like these
