About Me
italki teacher since May 14, 2022Interest topicArtSportsHistory
I'm Martha or Márta, a bilingual living in Budapest, Hungary. I'm half English and half Hungarian. I was born in the UK and lived in London as a child. At the age of 9, I moved to Budapest with my parents. That was when I learnt Hungarian, as I have done all my studies in Hungarian from primary school, right up to my MA diploma in Fine Art. In 2021 I taught Art, Art History and Media in Hungarian and English at an International High School in Budapest. This path in life has made me fully bilingual as I speak Hungarian as a native without an accent. I wrote my 65-page long thesis in Hungarian too.Me as a Teacher
I have always given private lessons to friends, family and acquaintances. My language skills have become an increasingly important part of my life in the last five years since I started to professionally translate and proofread.
While teaching, I realised what a big issue lacking confidence can be even for those who have studied Hungarian or English for years but have never gained practise in using their language skills in everyday life. I believe conversation lessons are what is needed to activate one's knowledge and to find it truly natural to speak in Hungarian.My lessons & teaching style
As I offer conversation lessons, our lessons will focus on speaking. From beginner to advanced, we will focus on you feeling comfortable and confident speaking Hungarian. Our topics can range from everyday topics to detailed specialist topics. I have an in-depth knowledge of art, film, history, sociology and politics, but I am open to any new topic. We can also practise various styles of conversation, such as friendly and professional. Debating and negotiating are also important skills to practise in a new language. Also, I can offer lessons focusing on Hungarian history, politics, culture and humour.My teaching material

I find Martha's style of teaching very empowering. I appreciate her patience while I am searching for the particular word. Her suggestion to start reading short stories and start composing sentences from "new" words should improve my active vocabulary.

Márta is an outstanding teacher, able to create a safe space for the student to risk making mistakes while conversing in a foreign language. She patiently waited when I was searching for the right Hungarian word and didn't rushed to "fill the gap"

Martha is a superb teacher. We talked about my specific needs beforehand and she has bravely and cheerfully adapted to these. We are following a mix of approaches: practical conversation topics; a few grammatical explanations; textual translations and fascinating bits of cultural/historical background. Highly recommended.
