A Few Words About Learning Hungarian

Our Story

about hungarian lesson with szuzsi
Sziasztok! This is Zsuzsi the creator of Hungarian Lesson with Zsuzsi and I would like to tell you how I built this very popular school.
 
In 2015, I launched a free online video series called Hungarian Lesson with Zsuzsi, in which I try to help Hungarian learners with free short Hungarian language lessons.
 
But we have to go back to 2010 as I have been teaching Hungarian as a foreign language since I received my degree at the University of Pannonia at the Department of Hungarian Language and Literature and Theater Studies, where I also obtained a pedagogical qualification.
After graduating I started working in various language schools, but after a while, I realized that I would like to provide a different strategy and higher quality of education. So I decided to work as a freelancer in 2015 and since I was also very lucky to be able to set up Hungarian Lesson with Zsuzsi, a language school that provides online services and offline lessons in the center of Budapest.
 
Our approach is a speech-focused way of learning Hungarian lessons, We try to provide students with useful knowledge and prepare them to take their place in a Hungarian-speaking environment. In these lessons, we mainly speak Hungarian. My theater studies at the university and acting in a theater for a while allowing me to make my classes interesting with creative assignments, situational games, drama plays, and dialogues.

Anita K.

I lived in Argentina for eleven years, where for seven years I taught Hungarian as a foreign language, in group and individual settings, to Hungarian descendants living in South America who wanted to learn the language of their ancestors. I personally enjoy learning descendants languages, so I understand the pitfalls and challenges that come with language learning very well. I've worked with a diverse range of students, from teens to older adults. I believe learning a language can be fun and enjoyable, which is why I enrich my lessons with interactive tasks, conversation-focused practice, and materials based on real-life situations. Spoken languages: Spanish C1, English B2, Portuguese B1

Ilma Cs.

I'm a native Hungarian speaker with over 20 years of teaching experience, holding a Master's degree in English Language Teaching. For the past four years, I’ve been teaching Hungarian to adults and children in Madrid (in-person) and to descendants of Hungarian families in Chile (online), helping them reconnect with their roots through language and culture. I speak English at C1 level and Spanish at B2, so I can easily support beginners using either language as a bridge. My lessons focus on clear communication, cultural context, and building confidence, always adapted to the learner’s pace and goals. Whether you're just starting or looking to improve your Hungarian, I offer engaging and supportive classes tailored to your needs.
