Anastazija

I worked with Anastazija to learn Hungarian and prepare for the simplified citizenship interview. She is a fantastic teacher and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to prepare for the interview. I have studied five languages with many different teachers both in person and online and she is by far the best foreign language teacher I have had. Although Hungarian is 'technically' a hard language, she breaks it down into easy to understand steps and makes it easy to learn.

Fantastic! As usual! We just finished our last prep Magyarora before the oath and I feel very excited! Cannot believe that we have come so close to the end of this journey - which was made so enjoyable, fun, and easy with Anastazija! My first interview went really smooth and I waited for about 6 months to receive the information about the ''honositasi okirat'', which is the citizenship certificate. Lets hope it all goes smooth all the way to the end! A small piece of advice - try not to stop taking the classes entirely after you finish your interview and while you are waiting for the oath, you will need the same, if not better, language skills and confidence to finalize the process. Cheers!

This was my last lesson with Anastazija as a non-Hungarian. I found out yesterday that an appointment had come available for the oath this morning at the Hungarian consulate, and I asked her if she could help me prepare for the oath. She was already booked through midnight, but she stayed up until 1 am to help me anyway. This is typical of Anastazija. Throughout this process she has always been available to help me with any difficult communications, correcting my emails and explaining every detail if I didn't understand its significance. Every time there was new information requested or another interview required, she gave it her full attention. I always felt safe in terms of my citizenship application because I knew Anastazija was there if I had trouble. Plenty has been said about her talents as a Hungarian teacher; I wanted to mention the other half of the story. I could go on, but I'm tired and now that I'm a Hungarian citizen, I'm going to have some champagne and take a nap.

She is the very best! I am so thankful for her patience with me, I am 43 years old and not the quickest learner but she is extremely good at matching my learning style!

Internet connection was unstable. She is a very good teacher but is often distracted and tired. It's difficult for her because it is midnight her time and she has a young child who is often sick. I am totally empathetic, but it does seem to happen every lesson. I hesitate to even provide this feedback because I have found the lessons to be very helpful.

So far we have had a great interaction and we look forward to working with our new teacher!
