The Hungarian Language School was one of the first language schools in Budapest to specialise exclusively in teaching Hungarian as a foreign language. We are a truly international school, where people from 80 countries in 5 continents have come to learn Hungarian. Since we opened, we have welcomed more than 9,000 foreign students to our school, each one of whom has their own reasons for wanting to learn Hungarian. HLS takes into account the peculiarities of the Hungarian language and combines modern, communication-based learning methods with traditional teaching tools. Our school is in a historic, listed building located in the heart of Budapest's atmospheric university and cultural quarter, just across the road from the National Museum.
