Buy Lonely Planet . My friend is married to a Hungarian and recommends the Lonely Planet guide. He has used it a lot and speaks highly of it. The book has a good section on Budapest, but some have complained that it doesn't cover smaller areas as well. The book includes a language section and glossary. Buy Berlitz phrase/cassette . This audio/book pack gives you a quick and convenient way begin learning Hungarian. The 90-minute audio cassette and phrase book provides the conversational skills you'll need to handle a variety of situations while traveling abroad . The color-coded phrase book includes more than 1,200 useful words and phrases, travel tips, a dictionary, and pronunciation guide. These books are sold in association with Amazon.com. Help support this website by shopping through these links until I figure out how to become wealthy without a job. If you have any ideas, I'll listen. It doesn't even have to be legal!
