We share practical, honest advice about learning foreign languages in Hungary, drawn from personal experience and thorough research.
LinguaHungary was created to fill a gap we noticed when we first arrived in Budapest as language students ourselves. Finding reliable, up-to-date information about language courses, school quality, and study options required piecing together scattered blog posts, outdated forum threads, and school marketing materials that rarely told the whole story.
We decided to create the resource we wished had existed: a straightforward, regularly updated guide that compares schools honestly, explains the education system clearly, and provides practical tips that actually work.
Our content focuses on three main areas that we believe are most useful for people considering language study in Hungary:
Language guides: Practical introductions to languages commonly studied in Hungary, starting with Hungarian itself. These guides cover pronunciation, essential phrases, grammar fundamentals, and learning strategies.
School reviews: Comparative overviews of language schools, university programs, and cultural institutes in Budapest and other Hungarian cities. We include information about teaching methods, class sizes, costs, and certification options.
Education system: Explanations of how language education works in Hungary, including school requirements, university language policies, scholarship programs, and international study opportunities.
We are not affiliated with any language school, university, or government program. Our recommendations are based on independent research and personal experience. We do not accept payment for reviews or placement on our guides.
We are always looking to improve our guides and expand our coverage. If you have studied languages in Hungary and want to share your experience, or if you have spotted something we should update, we would appreciate hearing from you.
