I'm working with Lilien to prepare for my simplified naturalization interview. Our lessons are well prepared and focused on my goals: speaking practice and specific topics that will help me pass the interview. 99.9% of each class is in Hungarian, which really improves my listening skills too. I highly recommend studying with her, especially if you're preparing for the simplified naturalization interview.

Lilien is an amazing tutor. She is patient, detail-oriented, and thorough, while still making it easy for a new student to learn at a fast pace. She provides plenty of materials and feedback. I highly recommend her to anyone learning Hungarian.

Mózes is outstanding. He is extremely knowledgeable, and explains difficult concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand. He is also patient with slow learners like me, and lots of fun! I highly recommend him.

After 4 months of lessons I am amazed at how far I've come with Mózes. He has been nothing short of phenomenal and I have been able to hold basic conversations with my friends in Hungary. He is very flexible and easily changes gears based on where I'm at in my learning. I would recommend Mózes to anyone at any level without hesitation.

I honestly adore learning with Lilien. She picks up on my learning style instantly and has never once made me feel embarrassed or overwhelmed. Our rapport feels so natural that it's like studying with a friend, not just a tutor. I can feel myself getting more confident and functional with Hungarian every week.

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know before getting started.

The simplified naturalization procedure is a path to Hungarian citizenship for people of Hungarian descent, typically those who can prove that an ancestor was a Hungarian citizen. Unlike standard naturalization, it does not require residency in Hungary, but it does require demonstrating Hungarian language ability during an official interview. Our preparation program is built specifically for applicants going through this procedure.

No, you don't need to be fluent. The interview tests your ability to hold a basic conversation in Hungarian: introducing yourself, talking about your family and background, your reasons for applying, and answering simple questions about Hungarian culture and history. Our program focuses precisely on this conversational level: building enough confidence and vocabulary to communicate clearly during the interview, not on advanced grammar or fluency you don't actually need.

It depends entirely on your starting level and timeline. The average student we work with prepares over about 5 months with two lessons per week, which is a comfortable, steady pace. But we've also successfully prepared students from absolute zero in as little as 3 weeks when they had a tight deadline. During your first session, we assess your current level honestly and recommend a realistic plan that fits your situation. Many students also book a mock interview shortly before their official appointment, regardless of how many lessons they took.

The mock interview simulates the real citizenship interview as closely as possible. We go through the typical questions you can expect: about your family history, your reasons for applying, basic Hungarian history and culture, and everyday topics. After the simulation, you receive direct feedback on your answers, pronunciation, and any areas to refine before the real appointment. Most students leave feeling significantly more confident and prepared for the actual interview.

The 90-minute consultation is a personalized session where we review your specific situation and help you with the practical paperwork side of your application. This typically includes: reviewing your eligibility and ancestry documents, helping complete official application forms in Hungarian, clarifying which supporting documents you need, and answering specific questions about your case. It is the most hands-on service we offer for applicants who want guided help with the documentation itself.

Absolutely. Many of our students start from zero. We have experience taking complete beginners all the way through to interview readiness. Our beginner-friendly book "I Read This Book to Learn Hungarian Because I'M LAZY" (A1–A2) is designed exactly for this stage, and our private lessons build on the same structured, gentle approach. There is no shame in starting from the beginning. That's where many of our most successful students began.

Lessons are conducted in Hungarian as much as possible. This is the most effective way to prepare for an interview that will be entirely in Hungarian. However, we also use English to explain grammar, clarify difficult concepts, and make sure nothing is confusing. For applicants who are more comfortable in Spanish or Italian, Mózes Jordán also conducts interview preparation in those languages, which is unusual to find and very helpful for many of our students from Spain, Italy, and Latin America.
