Hi, I’m Ilona Dávid,

language teaching-learning expert

Whether you’re:

  • A student preparing to study in Hungary, eager to explore the
    country’s cultural richness,
  • An expat or resident looking to better understand the
    foundations of Hungary’s heritage,
  • Preparing for the Hungarian Citizenship Exam, or
  • A bilingual school student seeking an accessible and reliable
    resource to complement your studies,

you’ve come to the right place!


I’m thrilled to have you here!

As a language teaching professional with expertise
in e-learning and didactic methodology, I’ve spent
years observing and refining the ways Hungarian
language and culture can be taught more
effectively.

Over the years, I have closely observed the
Hungarian language learning process and
developed a concept to make it more accessible—
particularly for those preparing for the Hungarian
citizenship exam.

Drawing from extensive didactical observations,
research, and real-life learning experiences, I have
created a practical Student Guide to Easy
Hungarian, specifically designed for exam
candidates. This approach is fully reflected in our
online preparation course, which aims to make
learning more intuitive and effective.



My methodology is based on a simple yet powerful
idea: before diving into the complexities of
Hungarian grammar and vocabulary, students
should first become familiar with the cultural and
historical background of Hungary. This gradual
immersion makes the learning process smoother
and more engaging.

Hungarian, by its nature, is a challenging language
to acquire, especially from textbooks. The historical
and cultural context required for the citizenship
exam is even harder to grasp when presented
directly in Hungarian. That’s why I advocate for a
step-by-step approach—allowing learners to build
familiarity with the language and culture
organically before tackling structured lessons and
exam materials.
