It is much more fun to learn a language if topics of your interest and current events are on he "menu" rather than dry grammar or vocabulary. We would like to recommend an awesome magazine issued semiannually, called Magyarul tanulók. 

The website will be redesigned in 2022 summer with complimentary content to the magazine.
The content of the magazine is contemporary and can be ordered any time.
The instructions are in three languages Hungarian, English and German.
It also has a segment for ECL preparations and sample tests.
Annual subscription (2 issues): HUF3,680.00 in Hungary,  13.90 in Austria, 19.70 in all other European countries, 24.00 overseas.

PROGRAM for CHILDREN | 3-10 years 

Magyar Nyelvi és Kulturális Alapozó Program - magyaralapozo.org

It is not automatic that children of immigrant families speak their parents' mother tongue.  This is challenging endeavor! We designed the Alapozó program (Foundational program in short) with online materials, advice and downloadable lesson plans with corresponding pedagogy, vocabulary and developmental methodologies. This program can be utilized either in group or at home settings. The program materials are only in Hungarian, targeting immigrant parents, heritage school teachers as well as later generations who speak some Hungarian already. It is very flexible, offering options for busy lives. Below the online lessons, videos of songs, stories experiments and other fun materials are displayed related to that topic enhancing vocabulary development. Topics in this program are continuously expanding.
