Hungarian words change shape because endings attach to them, so it helps to review a word inside the sentence where you met it. The seven apps below collect Hungarian words in different ways: from lessons, from reading, from topics or from cards you write. For a full course, see our Hungarian app comparison.
Bubblegum
For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Hungarian. You learn from Hungarian you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.
Tell Poppy, your AI tutor, your level and what you like, and she writes your Hungarian lessons. If a sentence is hard to follow, ask Poppy to explain it.
With Regenerative Review™, words you save show up again in new lessons, so that you can review words in new contexts without having to use flashcards.
- Save a Hungarian word from a lesson, and it comes back in a new sentence written for you.
- Each Hungarian lesson has a transcript, audio and meanings in English.
- Clear, expressive AI voices read every lesson aloud, with a different voice for each speaker.
- You can't turn a Hungarian book into a lesson. However, you can paste a page in the chat, and Poppy will explain it.
- Custom lessons cost us money to make, so you need Bubblegum Pro for unlimited custom lessons. Lessons Poppy wrote for other learners are free for everyone to read.

MobileWeb
Anki and Quizlet hold the words you type. Save the word with its ending in a sentence, such as (in a house) from (house), so the ending stays on the card (Wiktionary). Both apps are general tools, so look at any shared deck before you trust it.
