WHO IS THIS FOR
Heritage Speakers
Hungarian roots, lost language. You want to reconnect and meet citizenship requirements.
Partners & Spouses
Your partner is Hungarian and citizenship is your long-term goal.
Future Residents
You're moving to Hungary and need real fluency, not just tourist phrases.
HOW I TEACH
I use Comprehensible Input, an approach that works with your brain's natural language acquisition ability rather than against it. Instead of memorizing grammar rules, you absorb the language through content you can actually understand.
The result: you start forming real, complete sentences from day one. And because lessons are shaped around your interests and goals, it never feels like studying.
““I never thought learning Hungarian would be so easy, and so much fun! Only our third lesson and already I’m able to form complex sentences.” — Ed”
WHAT STUDENTS SAY
-
"She helped me understand better than my professor so I am very pleased with that. She was very patient as well which is a bonus. Overall a great tutor who I would definitely recommend."
— Chirag
-
"Eszter teaches real-world interactions to make the learning experience interesting and enjoyable. Rather than rely on a static text with rote repetition, she engages in a collaborative process that guides the student to a greater understanding of the material. I highly recommend speaking with Eszter if you are considering a tutor for this very intimidating language."

"Eszter does not just speak Hungarian. She knows how to teach it. This makes a big difference to me, since I really need to know more than 'Hungarian for the tourist.'"
— Bryant

Eszter Édl
Native Hungarian Speaker · Professional Language Teacher · New York City
I was born and grew up in Budapest, studied Chinese, and lived in Asia for several years before making New York City my home. I became a US citizen in 2016.
I'm a professional language teacher with two MA degrees and experience on three continents — from private schools in Manhattan to language camps in Minnesota to classrooms in Taipei.
When it comes to teaching Hungarian, I'm in a fairly unique position. I'm not only a well-read native speaker, but also a trained teacher with a deep grounding in how adults actually acquire languages. My fluent English and firsthand experience of American culture means I understand where my students are coming from, and I can support their learning effectively.
