I visited Hungary in the month of July with my 2 daughters. I decided it would be a good exposure for the girls and myself to learn a little bit of the language from a native speaker. Not only did we learn a lot of Hungarian in 3 hours, but we also received a ton of first-hand practical information and... More

We landed in at the Budapest airport in the early afternoon, checked into our hotel and then left for our two hour lesson with Miklos. He tailored the lesson to our needs and even helped to translate some inscriptions on the back of some very old family pictures that I brought along. Miklos not only taught us the words, but... More

Our 3-hour Fungarian experience was the highlight of our trip. My family, a group of four people, consisting of my aunt (70-year old Chinese-Canadian), my husband (Indian-British), my 10-year old daughter and I, had a lesson with Balazs on our first day in Budapest. Balazs was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. He told interesting stories and made learning Hungarian language and... More

He met us at a downtown cafe and gave us an informative lesson on language, history, and culture.I felt an immediate connection with the city thanks to the walking tour and language tips. What a wonderful language lesson. We had a great... More

We were keen to start our Budapest trip with some local knowledge of the history, culture and Hungarian language. I can't recommend a Fungarian session highly enough! Balazs met us at the Zenit cafe opposite the synagogue (very easy to find). We'd booked a 'Fungarian Extra' session. The 2 hours simply flew by as Balazs made us laugh whilst at... More

Dear Guest, Balázs told me how enjoyable your company was. We highly appreciate your interest in our language and culture and it's taken for granted that Balázs is the proper ambassador to live up to this task. Kind regards, Miklós Molnár, director of Fungarian More

We booked this after reading other trip advisor reviews. We had a 1 hour lesson on the day we arrived. The appointment was efficiently arranged via email. Our teacher Ezemese was fantastic, and is an English teacher in a Budapest school. After our lesson, we could read and pronounce the language (eg: place names), could ask for basic things including... More
