Comprehensible input

Input is comprehensible when you understand the message even if you couldn’t produce the sentence yourself. That’s the raw material of acquisition — the rest of the method just maximizes how much of it you can get.

Making Hungarian comprehensible

Hungarian has less learner-graded material than big languages, so you engineer comprehensibility instead:

• Tools: Yomitan makes any text one hover away from comprehensible.
• Familiarity: rewatch things you know — Hungary dubs nearly everything, which is a superpower. → Netflix & dubs
• Visual context: kids’ shows, vlogs, cooking videos — the picture carries the meaning.
• Level control: the input ladders grade content by difficulty.

Intensive vs. extensive

• Intensive: slow, dictionary-heavy, every sentence understood. Small doses, big gains early on.
• Extensive: volume, tolerance for ambiguity, fun. The long-term engine.

You need both; the ratio shifts from intensive → extensive as you level up.
