In certain cases you can apply for Hungarian citizenship in a quick and easy process either in Hungary or in a Hungarian embassy – this is called naturalisation. Reasons can be for example if you are married to a Hungarian, or you have other Hungarian relations. (Best to find out whether you are eligible at the authorities). You need to however speak the language as well on a conversational level, should be able to fill out all the forms by yourself at the time of your interview and answer all the questions they ask you when you submit your request.
Even if you don’t speak a single word at the moment, I can help you to wake up your inner Hungarian. I have worked out an outlined development plan that can be interpreted for different levels. Depending on your pace and the time you can devote to your studies it will be a different time scale for each of you until you achieve the desired result. I can estimate completion time after getting to know you a bit better…your skills, your learning habits etc. That takes a few lessons. Some soak up the information like sponge soaks up the water and needn’t practice so much, they still remember what they’ve learned. This matched up with some extra time in your hands for practicing results in a very good level in a few months. Others need more time and practice to retain the knowledge they are gaining on my lessons…and we will practice and practice as much as you need to get where you want to be.
We are all different, and our brains work differently, but if you finish this plan with me, you will have the relevant vocab and good enough grammar to pass the test. You might not be confident in all life situations as these topics are focusing on your citizenship interview, but should you wish to explore other topics, we can most certainly arrange that 😉
