The Hungarian Language School was one of the first language schools in Budapest to specialise exclusively in teaching Hungarian as a foreign language. We are a truly international school, where people from 80 countries in 5 continents have come to learn Hungarian. Since we opened, we have welcomed more than 9,000 foreign students to our school, each one of whom has their own reasons for wanting to learn Hungarian. HLS takes into account the peculiarities of the Hungarian language and combines modern, communication-based learning methods with traditional teaching tools. Our school is in a historic, listed building located in the heart of Budapest's atmospheric university and cultural quarter, just across the road from the National Museum.
Our Mission
The Hungarian Language School would like as many people as possible to be able to get to know and use the Hungarian language, and aims to provide the highest level of language training for foreigners arriving in Hungary. Our mission is to help our students master the Hungarian language quickly and effectively, using the best teachers and the latest teaching methods. At the same time we also aim to make our lessons as enjoyable as possible . Our lessons will prepare you for all kinds of everyday situations. These include going shopping, getting around town and getting to know people, as well as dealing with various situations at home and at work or filling in official forms. Of course, we want your course at HLS to be both useful and practical, but we also want you to enjoy your time with us and have a memorable experience, and with that in mind we regularly organise cultural activities or excursions as part of your course. You’ll get regular breaks between lessons, where you’ll be able to get to know your teachers and fellow students a bit better over a cup of tea, as well as having a well-earned rest!
Hi everyone,
I have recently moved to Budapest with My Hungarian wife, and 8 month old baby. I am looking for recommendations for Hungarian classes for beginners, I would prefer group sessions to meet new people, but any ideas are more than welcome.
