Fungarian is a special learning program and registered trademark of the HUNGAROLINGUA Language School, which has been providing language education services since 1991. Our students mostly include expats who work for leading multinational companies.
Fungarian is a method of teaching Hungarian as a foreign language which focuses on practical knowledge and communication skills. The term "Fungarian" was coined to show that the "Hungarian is a difficult, unlearnable language" cliché is just a myth. Learning Hungarian can be fun if you do it for your own pleasure, and it can be rewarding if you have immediate success, e.g. when you understand the signage in the streets or can safely use the greeting ‘csókolom’ and receive praise from locals for your good pronunciation.
The idea of coming forward with a new approach of teaching Hungarian was instigated by complaints from foreign residents who made the effort to enroll on a Hungarian language course only to drop out after three classes since they found learning Hungarian to be the “constant torture of grammar.” Fungarian focuses on lexical items in their cultural context, highlighting everyday situations and finding solutions to difficulties commonly experienced by foreigners.
We use our own materials, developed by a core team of five experienced linguists and teachers.
As well as teaching Hungarian to interested individuals, we also take care of the other needs of expats, especially newcomers. Our “off the beaten track” tours of Budapest are tailored to individual interests and have proved very successful. We also offer thematic one-day tours outside Budapest.
Furthermore, we provide tailor-made intercultural communication training and individual coaching sessions to meet company training needs.
The school is located in the centre of Pest, near Blaha Lujza tér.
Very interesting idea, will recommend to my foreign friends. They also tried Hungarian courses but they said they were extremely boring. This might ba the solution for them.
ReplyDeleteCheers, man.
One year in a conventional language school and I had ZILCH Hungarian. Three weeks with Fungarian and I am genuinely enjoying the language. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteMy English girl-friend has taken the Fungarian course. She is now really good. I don't like it because I want to practise my English with her when she visits, but she now speaks only Hungarian! Joking. But no, the course is fantastic. She got as much out of it as I did from Cinema English.
