A cult 1960s–70s cartoon about a chaotic Budapest family, free to watch on the public broadcaster's site. Short episodes, everyday family arguments and jokes written as much for the parents as for the kids.

István Csukás's classic about a determined fisherman and his best friend, the bait. The episodes are short and the jokes are mostly visual, so you can follow every story from the pictures and pick the words up as you go.

Frakk the dog spends every episode trying to outwit the two lazy house cats, Lukrécia and Szerénke. Ten-minute stories, clear speech and plenty of repetition make it one of the gentlest places to start.

My own channel, where I show you the logic, melody and playfulness of Hungarian one small piece at a time. Learning it doesn't have to be painful.

Doctor Bubó the owl treats a forest full of hypochondriac animals, helped by his nurse Ursula. Each episode is one patient and one short scene, which makes the dialogue easy to follow and fun to replay.

Ákos from Budapest shows you Hungary the way a local would, in English, and often slips in a mini lesson of words you will actually need there. A good way to get to know the culture behind the language.

The 1986 animated spy parody where secret agent Nick Grabowski saves the mice from the cats' mafia. Every Hungarian knows its lines by heart, so you will hear them quoted for years after you watch it.

A lonely nurse in a retro-styled Budapest is haunted by the ghost of a Japanese pop singer, and every man who falls for her dies. A colourful, quirky romantic comedy with simple dialogue that is easy to follow.

When a friend dies, a group of childhood mates pull off his last wish: smuggling one of his paintings into Budapest's most exclusive art auction. A light heist comedy with natural, everyday banter between old friends, best watched with Hungarian subtitles on.

Áron is about to turn 30, just got dumped, and drifts around Budapest's bars and his parents' flat working out what to do next. This is how young Hungarians actually talk to each other: casual, ironic and quick.

A young director and his two brothers try to win over an American producer who promises to fund his first film. One of the most quoted Hungarian comedies of the 2000s, with plenty of slang and quick banter.
