Hello Listener,

You’ve probably thought about it at least once. You know…about who is really behind the voice of your favorite HungarianPod101 lessons.

Who are these mysterious multilingual strangers?
Where do they come from? What are their hobbies?

Or maybe you just want to match a voice to a face.

Here’s your chance to see the faces and learn a little more about our mix of native Hungarian speakers who bring you our weekly lessons. In fact, you’d be surprised to know just how international the team is! Almost all of them have lived and studied abroad at some point.

Given their love for language and international experience, we knew they’d be perfect to teach authentic Hungarian the easy, fast, and fun way.

Welcome to the New Year! This is the year of DECISION 2012.

If you haven’t yet decided to make 2012 an amazing year for Hungarian learning, then here’s something to think about.

What’s the difference between speaking fluent Hungarian and knowing a few words?

A decision. A decision to become fluent.

Yes you’re right – it won’t magically turn you fluent. But nobody speaks great Hungarian by accident either. Nobody gets fluent by twiddling their thumbs and hoping “Maybe, I think, I’d like to try it..but I don’t know.”

They decide to become fluent. Then they do it. They rampage through dictionaries, workbooks, audio lessons and any other material they can find. They speak and read and write and make mistakes, and make mistakes, and then some MORE mistakes. The world isn’t important until they’re done.

Then they get fluent. Best decision ever made.

You’re learning Hungarian… So make the decision for 2012.

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:

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.

Good design is important. It communicates in ways text can’t.
It is the visual delivery of what a website is about.

With this in mind, the Innovative Language Learning website has been redesigned. We’ve thought about how we could best portray who we are and how we can help language lovers like you. And after long hours of tinkering in the lab, here is the result!
