Hi
I love your OHWAD but I have a request.
Would it be possible to include the pronunciation of the sample sentences as well as of the key word?
I think it would be really helpful, because I find aural comprehension the most challenging aspect of learning Hungarian.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your comment and feedback, Lucy!:)
The pronunciation of the keyword is always included; you just have to push the “play”-button in order to listen to it. Yes, Juli forgets to upload it (sometimes!) but we always include it along the course of the day. 🙂
As for the pronunciation of the example sentences: We’re doing everything we can to extend and improve OHWAD. However, our timely resources are currently limited when it comes to this, as we’re a mere two-man show. Still, we will definitely take your feedback into consideration!
Hope this helps.
Have a great day! /Juli
