Our instructor (Balacz?) was so nice and answered all our questions, no matter how off topic! We learned all the polite words and used them daily (thank you, you're welcome, no, yes, etc.). Strongly recommend for a fun morning.

This was a great way to start off my experience in Budapest! Everyone should do this. This is an informal crash course in the Hungarian language and people that will teach you a lot about the culture, country, some important phrases like how to order a beer, not look like fool, and say thank you. We met at a nice... More

I like this approach to having a guide in Budapest. The whole event is informal, friendly and honest. You can choose what you want to take from the meeting, Hungarian lessons, history, culture or a touch of how Hungarians perceive the world and their future.

Miki was the most charming hungarain ever! He gave us an amazing insite to the mindset of the post communist culture of Budapest. He was patient and caring and never made you feel like "a stupid American". Just as valuable as the pronunciation and phrases was his explantion of how to interact with the locals. Priceless jems like "don't expect... More

The hour long language lesson and introduction to all things Hungarian was a wonderful introduction to Budapest. Miklos teaches the basics of the language, gives some history and explains the subtleties of Budapest in such a way that I better understood and appreciated the time spent exploring. I would highly recommend the time spent in Fungarian class at a totally... More

My Fungarian class with Molnar Miklos was my single best investment in Hungary. Miklos was informative, interesting, and charming. I left the lesson feeling like I had a sense of the pronunciation and history of the language, an insight into social customs, and a desire to learn more about this amazing country. Miklos provided a helpful book for note-taking and... More

My husband and I booked the Fungarian lesson for our first morning in Budapest. What a fabulous way to start a vacation. Mikls met with us at our hotel and gave us our first lesson in Hungarian, which really helped us with the week ahead. We also booked a tour (they do AMAZING walking tours too!) with his company and... More

Miklos provided us with a great introduction to the Hungarian history and language. Balazs Eff was our guide around Budapest and was excellent!! A great day with him. Then Gabor spent a day with us at the Fire Museum providing translation and was quite good. Thanks so much for making our trip enjoyable. HIGHLY recommend using this service on the... More

Really sweet guy holding class in a very inhospitable bar (rude staff, uncomfortable seating). Learned a few phrases & some local culture insights. We thought it was way overpriced, but that said, having taken the class added to our enjoyment of the trip.
