School History
Since 1991, we have been dedicated to introducing and promoting the Hungarian language to as many individuals as possible. The mission of Hungarian Language School is to foster a connection between those interested in Hungarian language and culture with international students.
​
Our team consists of over 40 instructors who specialize in teaching Hungarian as a foreign language. Currently, we have more than 400 active students either studying in the heart of Budapest on PetÅ‘fi Sándor Street or participating in our online courses.
​
Our Hungarian language courses are designed to be both enjoyable and effective for all students. We guarantee that time spent with us will be maximally utilized, leading to improvement in language skills and contributing to professional development.
​
The Hungarian School extends a warm welcome to all, whether for a short visit, summer term, semester abroad, or online learning. New courses for beginners start every month, and non-beginners can join any Monday after completing a proficiency assessment.
