I was born in the United States to a Hungarian family. I am embarassed to say that while I have an ok vocabulary (maybe 500-1000 words), I am horrible with the technical aspects of grammar like noun cases, verb conjugation, etc. While I am able to get my point across with my family because they know I speak horribly, it's very difficult to overcome my shyness speaking to strangers since they always look puzzled as I muddle that point, doing things like saying the infinitive of a verb or conjugate in 2nd person rather than 1st.

    What are some of your favorite or recommended self-study exercises? I am particularly fond of doing these things: * Watching Hungarian movies without subtitles * Using google translate and making up sentences with complex elements, covering up the English translation side while trying to type it out in Hungarian, then looking to see if I'm correct or close to it (knowing that google translate is not correct a lot of times either) * Memrise for pure vocabulary building * Writing conjugation tables unassisted for front and back vowel verbs (e.g. csinál/énekel) * Writing a noun (such as asztal) and trying to use the correct placement endings (asztalra, asztalon, asztalról or bolt: boltba, boltban, boltból). * Composing something and crowdsourcing corrections (such as italki :-) ) What do others do?

    While I can't help you directly from my personal experience, there is a facebook page "Hungry for Hungarian" where you can get more help.  The moderator owns a small company that helps folks like yourself in the preparation process.  You can find lots of free resources on it without a lot of self-promotion.  I am doing the verification of citizenship since both my parents were Hungarian Citizens at the time of my birth.  This does not have the same requirements as yourself.  In fact, no knowledge is required at all, but I want to become fluent eventually anyway so I have been doing language exchange through Skype and took some lessons through the moderator's company.
