Are you more advanced

and you just want to practice speaking?

I have a very cozy and supportive

Hungarian Speaking Club

for B1-B2 level learners where we practice only speaking.

Having conversations about various and random topics

helps the participants to grow their confidence and fluency

in Hungarian.

And as an extra,

it is just so valuable to have a group who listens to you,

understands you and supports you.

It is not just a Speaking Club, it is also a "léleksimogató".

("Soul caressing" is the closest translation I found.).

I love this word because it really conveys the

expressiveness of our beloved Hungarian language. ❤️

I am Sofie - Zsófi vagyok.

Your Hungarian language & culture

mentor and coach


I’m here to share with the world the beauty of my Hungarian mother tongue and the richness of Hungarian culture 🎨.

Having learned five foreign languages myself, I immigrated to the Netherlands — a country where I didn’t know the language or culture — and now live in Transylvania 🌄, my homeland, where Romanian is the official language.

I understand the challenges and rewards of learning and using a new language in a real-world context 💬, as well as adapting to a different culture 🌍.

I know what it’s like to navigate different languages and cultures, and I’m here to support you every step of the way as you embark on your own journey with Hungarian. 🤗

My mission is to bridge the gap between Hungarian and the world by bringing our vibrant language, culture, and people closer to everyone🤝.

I want you to fall in love with Hungarian ❤️, enjoy learning it 📚, and feel proud of your progress as you connect with this wonderful language and culture 🌟.

Testimonials

Sofie it's a very kind, friendly, positive person who is a great instructor to guide you through the Hungarian culture, traditions, life style and language!

I recommend from the heart!

Reda

Sofie is a very attentive teacher, who will always care about you and will adjust the learning process according to the students' needs.

Her courses will provide you with the theoretical knowledge and a chance to practice what you've learned both in writing and speaking, so you get comfortable enough to actually use your HUN skills in your day to day life!

Overall, I absolutely recommend having her as your Hungarian teacher!

Areej

I started attending the Speaking Club with Zsófi couple of months ago.

I've been studying Hungarian for more than two years but I didn't have enough courage to use it.

I was always shy and afraid of pronouncing the words wrong or saying something the wrong way. Since I am in the Speaking Club I can express myself more, I can speak more courageously.

I met wonderful people in this Club who showed me support and understanding of what I'm going through.

Words won't do you justice Zsófi!!!

Amazing teacher, amazing teaching skills.

Finally a teacher that actually understands and experienced how it feels to learn a foreign language in an old age!!!

Thank you so much and can't wait to start the my new membership in the Hungarian Speaking Club.
