Hello all!

My best friend is from Hungary, and I am going to pick up a little bit here and there,
but figured I could learn some more in any free time I have, so I picked up the "Teach
Yourself" course. I am going to be bringing it to show to him, but would really like to
say it in Hungarian.

The exact phrase I'd like to say would be something along the lines of "Look here, I
got this book to learn Hungarian".

I put it into Google Translate, but figure it's wrong, however, this is what it gave me
"Nézze, van ez a könyv magyarul tanulni"

Is that right?

Thanks all!

Easy, tiger. Don't run the risk of spreading yourself too thinly unless you have enough time for each of the languages that you want to study and in which you can make some measurable progress.

Even though I'm not native or even fluent, I'd say the following:

"Figyelj! Megkaptam ezt a könyvet azért, hogy magyarul tanuljak!"

Chung- I am not going to really study Hungarian a lot, just in any free time that I have.
I do not have any plans to study intensely for quite some time.

Thanks for the translation btw!
