Magyar Iskola

A Budapest School for Hungarian

Magyar Iskola is a Budapest language school founded in 1991 and dedicated exclusively to teaching Hungarian as a foreign language. Over more than three decades it has served learners from many countries who want a practical command of the language for study, work and daily life in the city.

Courses and Formats

The school runs a range of in-person group programmes at its Budapest premises. The Super Intensive course offers 128 lessons across eight weeks with daily Monday-to-Thursday classes, while the Morning and Afternoon Intensive courses provide 64 lessons over the same period. General Evening courses meet twice weekly for 32 lessons. Beginners start in new groups every two weeks, and returning students can join on any Monday.

Teaching Approach and Site

Lessons are led by qualified teachers of Hungarian as a foreign language and focus on real communication rather than rote grammar. Classes take place in modern classrooms at the school's central location on Petőfi Sándor utca, a short walk from the heart of the city, with common areas that support cultural immersion and a sense of community among students.

Beyond the Classroom

Alongside classroom teaching, Magyar Iskola offers private lessons, e-learning practice exercises and an AI tutor for flexible study, as well as preparation for the Hungarian Cultural Knowledge Exam.
