Fungarian

Fungarian is a special learning program and registered trademark of the HUNGAROLINGUA Language School. Our students include mainly expats. who work for leading multinational companies. Fungarian is a method of teaching Hungarian as a foreign language which focuses on practical knowledge and communication skills. The term ‘Fungarian’ was coined to show that the “Hungarian is a difficult, unlearnable language” cliché is just a myth. The idea of coming forward with a new approach of teaching Hungarian was instigated by complaints from foreign residents who made the effort to enroll on a Hungarian language course, only to drop out after three classes since they found learning Hungarian “constant torture of grammar.” Fungarian focuses on lexical items in their cultural context, highlighting everyday situations and finding solutions to difficulties commonly experienced by foreigners. We use our own materials, developed by a core team of five experienced linguists and teachers. Our special crash course designed for tourists FUNGARIAN EXPRESS has proved to be a great success. As well as teaching Hungarian to interested individuals, we also take care of other needs of expats, especially newcomers. Our “off the beaten track” tours of Budapest tailored to individual interests are very successful. We also offer thematic one-day tours in Budapest. Further, we provide tailor-made intercultural communication training and individual coaching sessions to meet company training needs. The school is located in the centre of Pest, near Blaha Lujza tér.
