Summary: You shouldn't have to make much effort speaking Hungarian...
Comment: ...So we won't make much effort writing a book. This guide to the Hungarian language begins with an explanation that locals will "feel gratified" that you're making an attempt at Hungarian and will "probably go out of their way to understand you." The editors' view is that Hungarian is very difficult to pronounce, so why bother with much of a pronunciation guide, so "just wing it." Hmm, well. To be fair, they do offer phonetic transliterations beneath each phrase that approximate the proper pronciation while still being pronounceable by English speakers. Still, since they offer three (whoo! three!) pronunciation hints in the pronunciation guide, they might have made a point of also mentioning something pretty major such as "J' apparently is pronounced as a "Y". However, they let you figure that out as you go along. Again, to be fair, the book is very economical and should be sufficient for a short trip.

Summary: Just Enough Hungarian
Comment: I was deployed to Hungary last year and this book was extremely helpful. It not only spells out commonly used phrases but tells how to pronounce them. It also gives tips on Hungarian pronunciation in general, as well as the alphabet. I showed this book to our Hungarian translator and he said it was very accurate. I whole-heartedly recommend this book to anyone traveling to Hungary!
