This is one of a series of self-teaching textbooks initially prepared for the Armed Forces and now offered to the public. Book 1 is divided into two main parts, each consisting of five learning units and one review unit. Each unit centers around a particular topic and is divided into the following sections: basic sentences, with hints on pronunciation; word study and review of basic sentences; further review of basic sentences; listening (pronunciation exercises); and two sections on conversation. A "finder list" follows each unit, listing all the vocabulary introduced in the unit. Book 2 is divided into three main sections, each consisting of five learning units and a unit of review. The unit format is similar to that in Book 1. The emphasis is on speaking rather then on reading or writing, and each unit in both books is designed to be used with a native speaker of the language or to be accompanied by recordings. A Hungarian-English, English-Hungarian glossary closes the text. (CLK)
