99 audios for learning Hungarian for the first encounter

While skills in French are relatively widespread in Germany, Hungarian is a hardly studied language here. Due to the partnership between Pappenheim and Iszkaszentgyörgy, to be officially started at the weekend of the EHP opening, the EHP is therefore offering in cooperation with ASEcoLi learning material, developed by myself for the first encounters with Hungarians. The innovative study concept was already tested by students. It consists of a little textbook and 99 audio files that are freely downloadable at ASEcoLi or via the EHP website. The concept consists of 4 phases and uses the German language as an aid for learning the words and structures and offers memory hooks.
