Hungarian for Expats

About

Hungarian For Expats was founded in summer 2018 by Mechthild von Knobelsdorff, an expat herself. While she takes Hungarian lessons twice per week on her own, she realized that many expats were not able to order a coffee in Hungarian - because there was no language classes tailored to expats' needs. Hence, she founded Hungarian for Expats, where she develops the content together with

experienced Hungarian teachers.

We do offer childcare in some of the classes, to allow everyone to attend classes, even moms of young children. We strongly believe that speaking a language creates bridges between people. Our goal is to build thousands of little bridges between you and Hungarians. To bring you closer to Hungarian culture, we also introduce some cultural knowledge into our classes and organize cultural events such as Hungarian winetastings.

Types of Language Classes

Morning Classes & Childcare

We want to enable everyone to come. We’ll provide the babysitter, you bring your child – and can have a small break during class! And don't worry, you can also attend those classes without bringing a child!

Private Classes

If non of the above offers work for you, we can organize private classes for you – whether week-day or weekend. Contact us for more details. Contact us to arrange a private class.

After Work Classes

If you are working in a full-time position, but want to learn Hungarian, this is the perfect class for you. Finish your work and then relax during our fun classes! Coming soon! Sign-up for updates!

Language Modules

We offer different modules that allow you to learn only what you are interested in. You are not interested in food? Just skip that module and take the next one!

Testimonials

I loved the interactivity of the classes and felt very much supported by the organizer and the teacher.

Participant Socializing Module

My husband is jealous of me. He took Hungarian lessons elsewhere for 10 weeks and still cannot order a coffee. And I know all these useful words now!

Mechthild "Maggie" von Knobelsdorff

Director and Creative Mind

Based on Mechthild's own expat experiences, she develops the class content together with experienced teachers. Although she is not a natural language learner, she can speak 5 languages. For her, languages are opening the gate to the world. So it was a no-brainer that she would learn Hungarian as well. Mechthild has two daughters and likes to read, swim and drink whiskey.
