Master English or Hungarian with a Hungarian, Polyglot Coach – Beszéljünk Folyékonyan! Szia, I’m Frank! Born and raised in Hungary, then I’ve spent 22 years in Canada, and the last 4 years in the USA. I have traveled across all continents through elite-level sports. Being married to a Brazilian and living in multicultural environments has given me firsthand experience in language learning and cultural adaptation. Whether you're just starting out, preparing for citizenship test or interview, or just looking to learn practical phrases for travel, I’ll tailor the lessons to your goals, and needs. My desire is to make learning engaging, effective, and enjoyable. As an ICF PCC-certified executive coach, I bring a structured yet flexible approach to teaching. My background in coaching, and leadership development has shaped my ability to adapt to different learning styles. I focus on creating an encouraging environment where students feel confident to practice and improve. The lessons are designed to be engaging, practical, and personalized. I emphasize real-world communication, helping students apply Hungarian or English in everyday situations. I use a mix of conversation, structured exercises, and cultural insights to keep learning dynamic and enjoyable. Mistakes are part of the process, and I encourage students to step out of their comfort zones while building confidence. Whether you're a beginner or advancing your skills, I make sure lessons fit your pace and goals, so you can speak naturally and effectively.

I’ve been learning Hungarian for over a year and I’ve tried everything from group classes, to self study, duolingo, watching videos…you name it I’ve tried it. Without a doubt, the thing that has finally taken my Hungarian to the next level has been lessons with Ferenc! He is well-prepared, focused, patient, and does an excellent job working through concepts and grammar points that are difficult for English speakers to grasp. I’m regularly doing three lessons per week with him, and I’m seeing the biggest gains in my pronunciation, which is something he really likes to focus on. So if your goal is to speak more fluently and improve your accent, Ferenc is one of the best teachers on italki for this specifically. Also he’s such a great guy to know, I look forward to every lesson with enthusiasm, which is super important for staying motivated and sticking with it long term. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll come away from each lesson stronger and more interested in Hungarian!

I recently completed another package of lessons with Frank and continue satisfied and confident that my Hungarian is improving. I feel well-prepared for my upcoming trip to Hungary! I would recommend Frank to anyone learning Hungarian, especially beginners but also advanced students.

The vibe is always uplifting. There are casual conversations and complex grammar exercises.
