    Happy Thanksgiving,
    Team HungarianPod101

    Introducing the New HungarianPod101.com Dashboard!

    Greetings from Team HungarianPod101!

    We’re stopping by the blog today to tell you about an exciting new feature we’re slowly rolling out on the website. A few select users have been chosen to test drive the new Dashboard feature.

    Log in to your account today to see if you’re one of them!

    The new Dashboard aims to help you track your Hungarian learning quickly and easily. We’ve produced a lot of lessons in our lifetime and while we pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of lessons to our users, we realized that it can been pretty overwhelming for some.

    Where do I start? What level is best for me? What series do I move on to now?

    These were common questions coming in from avid users like you, so we set out to solve these commonly asked questions, and the Dashboard was born!

    We’ll of course continue to listen to our fans and tweak the Dashboard to provide the very best experience for everyone. If you have questions or feedback for us, send us an email here.

    To help you get started, here are a few of the big changes:

  • Dashboard Home: The dashboard is now your homebase at HungarianPod101. Anything you need to know about your account and learning progress can be found right here. You’ll see:
    • Your learning progress
    • Recommended lesson alert
    • Your learning profile
    • Account information
    • Quick links to useful tools
  • My Courses: For any series, when you check a lesson complete, your progress will be updated on the Dashboard.
  • New Lesson Recommendation: To help new members get started quicker, we’ve created a recommended learning curriculum based on your level. These series were chosen by our teachers as the the best way to start with HungarianPod101.com.
  • HungarianPod101.com News: Be sure to check the news each time you log in for feature updates, amazing deals and more!
  • Quick Links: Of course, there’s more to our website than just the Dashboard. We’ve compiled a list of quick links to help you get to helpful site tools like Flashcards, My Word Bank and the Browse Lessons list.
  • Footer: Finally, we gave a facelift to our site footer because…well, we just felt like it! Just like before, you can learn all about HungarianPod101.com and parent company InnovativeLanguage.com from the links in our footer.
  • We hope you enjoy the brand new Dashboard! Stay tuned for more tweaks and updates to the site and head over to HungarianPod101.com to test out the new Dashboard beta.

    Do You Remember Your First Hungarian Word?

    Your first Hungarian word.

    Remember when you knew no Hungarian. At all. Then one day, somewhere, somehow, you learned how to say hello. Suddenly, you could express yourself in another language. And it didn’t stop there.

    You learned a few more and picked up some grammar. Word by word, your ability to express yourself in Hungarian became greater and greater.

    You went from “hello” and “My name is…” to expressing opinions, starting up conversations with native Hungarian speakers.

    Because of more words.

    All the best Hungarian speakers understand this one rule: Want to speak advanced Hungarian? You need more words.

    April is Vocabulary Month, so start speaking more Hungarian and get even better! Get 30% OFF all Premium accounts until April 30th!

    The Innovative Language Story

    It all started with JapanesePod101.com, back in December of 2005.

    6 years later, Innovative Language Learning is up to 22 language sites, 2 million registered users, and 4 million app downloads. But what does it all mean?

    It means we couldn’t have done it without you. It means we’re very lucky to have a community of language lovers. It also means the world sees beauty in languages and cultures, and people wish to communicate with one another. And we’re happy to help.

    Here are some key stats:

  • December 2006 – 10,000 members
  • December 2008 – 100,000 members
  • April 2010 – 101 Million lesson downloads
  • November 2011 – 2,000,000 members
  • So how exactly does a Japanese podcasting website grow?

    And how does it spread out to languages like Korean, Spanish, Hungarian, and Dutch? Well, it’s quite a long story to tell. If you’re really interested, we can set some time aside, get some hot cocoa and tell the tale by the fireplace. But as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
