Guidelines
“Morfi” contains exercises to facilitate the acquisition of the grammatical forms of Hungarian (i.e. its morphological components): the forms of nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. with special emphasis on the functional elements (suffixes prefixes, postpositions, etc).
“Coloroid” practices the basic sentence structures and the core vocabulary: sentence construction with pictures and stimuli in which the main syntactic functions (subject, predicate/verb, direct object, and adverbial complements) are distinguished by colours.
Step by step readings - from the first steps to texts of medium complexity with vocabulary support in six languages (English, French German, Italian, Russian and Spanish). If you move the mouse cursor over the first occurrence of a word, its meaning appears - in the selected language - in a tooltip. (Using Internet Explorer you may need to enable the 'Compatibility view'.)
Mixed sentence and text completion
Interactive sentence and text completion on grammar (mainly syntax) and vocabulary: from basic level sentence completion to work with larger complex texts. Flexible help and evaluation (also in percentage): users can request at any time the evaluation of the work done until the given moment.

PictoVocabulary
Completion of texts accompanied by pictures with missing elements (A); or random generation of text completion or text reconstruction exercises by deleting words (from 1 word to the total number of words in the text) and replacing each letter with an asterisk. The lexical help function (for now in three languages: English, Spanish and Russian) gives the meaning of the missing elements (A), or the meaning of most of the words (B).
ZeneSzóKincs MusicWordTreasure
Completion of song lyrics with missing elements (A), or random generation of lyric completion or reconstruction exercises by deleting words (from 1 word to the total number of words in the text) and replacing each letter with an asterisk. (Activities based on video clips: YouTube etc.) Lexical help in English, Spanish or Russian.
Numberwriter: Cardinal numbers
How to say and write the cardinal numbers in Hungarian. The task consists of saying aloud and/or writing (in words) an optional cardinal number (given in figures by the user) or a cardinal number randomly selected by the computer (in the range between 1 and 9,999,999,999). While the written solution is checked by the program, in the case of the oral one a sort of autocheck is used: after saying the number aloud, the user can check it on the basis of the written form.
Telling the time
How to write the time (hours and minutes) in figures or in words and how to say it in Hungarian. The task consists of writing (in words) an optional hour (given in figures by the user) or an hour randomly selected by the program, and/or pronouncing it, checking the result in both cases on the basis of the written form.
Ragozgató Conjugator
Interactive verb conjugator. It gives all the correct forms of the most important regular and irregular verbs in Present and Past Indicative, Present Conditional and Imperative/Subjunctive. The verb selection is done easier by a 900 item list of the most frequent Hungarian verbs, accompanied by equivalences in two languages (English and Spanish). However, the application's main feature is an interactive exercise system. Users can write in any conjugated form/forms of the selected verb and get it/them verified by the application.
Word games
Presentation and written practice of vocabulary items belonging to various topics (house and home, food, drinks, fruits, professions, activities, animals, names of countries, in the street, etc.) with the help of pictures. E.g. dice game, memory game, hangman, etc.
Step 1: Pre-watching activity. Tell the students that they are going to find different exercises that can develop their Hungarian as a foreign language skills. While getting familiar with the parts of the online learning project the easiest exercises are chosen to start practising.
Step 2: Students get familiar with the exercises, solve some of them and share their results in class.
Step 3: Students then give feedback on their understanding. At the same time, they tell their opinion about their view of success and achievements.
Step 4: Students are divided in groups, and they solve some of the exercises as a competition. As a follow up exercise, they create sentences and texts on the learnt vocabulary and sentence structure. They can also construct similar exercises from the vocabulary they know.
