About this listen
Have you ever heard of a social media platform that connected almost half of a country — before Facebook even existed?
In this episode of Natural Hungarian, I take you back to the early 2000s to explore iWiW, Hungary's very own social network that once ruled the internet in the country. From its mysterious invite-only start, to becoming the number one digital meeting place for Hungarians, iWiW's story is one of innovation, nostalgia, and a little bit of national pride.
Perfect for B2–C1 level learners of Hungarian, this 7-minute episode combines accessible language with rich cultural insights. Learn about the digital history of Hungary, practice useful vocabulary, and discover how a local project almost beat Facebook at its own game.
🎙️ Let’s dive into the curious case of iWiW — the Hungarian Facebook that came too soon.
