Learn Hungarian through folktales

Check out the videos on my channel on Rumble to see how I narrate folktales in simple, modern Hungarian with words and structures that you hear all the time among Hungarians.

The scenes on screen in my videos are from the animated series Magyar Népmesék (Hungarian Folktales). Copyright: Kecskemétfilm Kft. Permission to use their cartoons was granted by founder and managing director of the studio Ferenc Mikulás.
