Hi! My name is Gábor, and I'm from Hungary. I have a PhD in linguistics, and a deep passion for languages.
I am a researcher, and I have spent half of my life with the study of various languages in an academic setting, such as Arabic, Persian, Hindi, and Indonesian. I like the idea of formal, classroom style learning, but I also know the value of casual conversation. In my classes I like to combine the best of both worlds: I will teach you the concepts you need to know, guide you through grammar & help you to actually use the language, but it will be you that learns the words!
I am casual, direct, and organized. I like to do things in some kind of order to help us keep track of progress.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am detail oriented, and I believe that one of the keys to learning a language is understanding all the little parts, so I will explain every word and the reason behind every rule, because it's hard to just memorize stuff. In my experience, this method leads to clarity when it comes to seeing your language learning path ahead.
That being said, everyone has their own style and pace, and I actually enjoy being helpful in a way that suits a student's specific needs. So, if you are not a beginner or have any particular language goals, just say so I am more than happy to adapt and prepare you for something you need.
If you need a time slot that is currently not open, just message me.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
As I mentioned in the video, the primary goal is communication. Getting to a level where you are confident to move beyond the basics is the way to go, because then you will start picking up the language on your own, and you will gradually have a deeper understanding.
I usually like to follow a book to give us structure, which we can complement with videos, news articles, songs or poetry, and I am also gonna give you some homework.
Whether you live in Hungary, planning to visit, or just for your personal interest, I'm excited to share the beauty of this unique language, and I think my experience with linguistics and decades-long language learning equips me to be an efficient tutor.
Another great lesson with Gábor. For me the lessons have been hyper helpful and useful. Structured using a textbook, supplemented with real life examples, beginnings of conversation appropriate to my level, and explanations of the components of words - which makes it much easier to remember. Great, I'm super happy with the lessons.

I had another great lesson with Gábor! We did a listen-and-translate exercise with a podcast we had already agreed on, so I was able to come prepared. It was an incredibly useful, and I found the exercise to be very impactful. I look forward to more lessons like this!

Gábor is a fantastic teacher! We hit the ground running from the first lesson, and I really appreciate his patience and the way he listens and guides me through the language. His linguistic background shines through in how clearly he explains everything. Highly recommended!

This teacher is perfect. Attentive to the student’s needs, flexible, finds material that is meaningful, which makes time fly by. His background, studies, travels and experience result in his mastery, command and competence, but what is more important is his humble approach and total interest in the student. Does this make sense? If you are a learner, it’s up to you to recognize what is helpful and what is not, if you read this review and can’t suspect you need someone like this, you have missed out :) which is fine for me, i get him all to myself and he remains humble But out of fairness to him, I grudgingly share.

Really enjoyed meeting with Gábor! As a trained linguist, he brings a wealth of knowledge about languages and the science of language learning. I’m definitely looking forward to working with him to improve my Hungarian fluency and grammar.
