Hi, I’m Juli. I’m the founder of Catch Budapest – an online community of 4,000+ Hungarian learners.
I’m a native Hungarian and discovered the passion for my language when my non-Hungarian partner (Flo) started to learn it in 2017.
Together with Flo, we’re constantly looking for new ways to make Hungarian accessible, enriching, and fun.
Our two other Hungarian Courses (the Smart Hungarian Audio Course & Smart Hungarian Short Stories Course) sold 1,000+ times.
I’ve tutored 20+ ambitious Hungarian learners at all levels. I helped them overcome all types of obstacles to reaching fluency.
Based on my experience as a tutor and Hungarian expert I’ll equip you with every tool and strategy to build a study routine that works. You’ll learn to focus on what’s essential to you, based on your level and needs.
I’ll explain to you all intricacies of the language, leaving no questions open.
Instead of spending months in figuring-it-out mode, I’ll help you become an extremely efficient self-taught learner and confident speaker.
I first encountered the problems non-natives face when Flo started to learn Hungarian.
This is how Catch Budapest and our Hungarian-learning community were born.
I send about 50,000 emails per month with a daily Hungarian word and at the bottom of most of them, I ask people to reply to us with their questions and challenges directly.
We hear from many amazing people who want to learn because they live in Hungary or want to discover their roots. Many also learn for the sake of family, love, or out of plain interest.
Mostly, it’s ordinary people like you who share their stories and are looking for a little help:
On the same day, we’d also get emails from people who used our material and finally experienced real progress in their learning:
Since 2017, my students and I faced plenty of challenges teaching and learning Hungarian.
I feel you. Luckily, there’s hope. Through a lot of trial and error, together with my students and community, I figured out what makes an efficient Hungarian-learning process:
This isn’t another self-taught course that’ll leave you unchanged.
The Hungarian Accelerator is an entire three-week program. It consists of live classes, videos, and a community to back and support you.
I limit the participants to 25 so each and every one of you can have their optimal, customized learning experience.
Combined with my expertise and experience in working with Hungarian learners like you for years I designed this cohort-based course to remove all your obstacles to reaching your learning goals.
At the end of the course, you’ll have everything it takes to learn Hungarian in an efficient way.
➡️ You’ll be able to understand and apply grammar without getting lost in dry, complicated lingo.
➡️ You’ll be able to remember vocab without headaches.
➡️ You’ll be able to recall Hungarian words with ease.
➡️ You’ll be able to apply grammar rules and vocab without the constant fear of wrong, awkward sentences.
➡️ I’ll show you exactly what to learn and when.
➡️ I’ll give you real-life opportunities to practice.
I read all the grammar books so I can give you the most practical explanations.
I distilled all vocab lists so you don’t have to. This way, I can show you exactly which vocab to focus on based on your needs.
I worked with dozens of students at all levels. I’m pouring all my experience teaching & decoding Hungarian into this cohort-based course.
Here’s what this course will exactly do for you, week by week:
You receive access to all basics and prerequisites for this course before we start:
✅ A recap of the alphabet with an exact pronunciation guide;
✅ An efficient pronunciation trainer;
✅ Everything you need to know about vowel harmony.
✅ 2 live classes (see dates & times in the FAQ below):
✅ Access to the following (video-) material:

✅ 2 live classes (see dates & times in the FAQ below):
✅ Access to the following (video-) material:
✅ A 30-minute 1:1 session with Juli you can use for up to 12 months after the course finishes. You can use this for further clarification, practice, and any questions that come up later.
✅ 3 email consulting opportunities you can use for up to 12 months after the course finishes. Email consulting means you can reach out to me via email with a specific challenge and you’ll receive a detailed answer with further resources and material.
✅ An online community where you can mingle with the other course participants: You’ll meet other ambitious learners, can find a study buddy, ask questions and learn from each other. I’m personally moderating the community and am there to answer further questions.
“The best time to start practicing in a cohort with other ambitious learners was yesterday… The next best time is today.”
To provide the best possible learning experience for each and every course participant I limit the number of people who can join to 25.
Cohort-based teaching demands tremendous effort and commitment from me. I’m giving it all my knowledge, experience, and time. For now, this is a one-off opportunity and I don’t plan any further cohorts in the near future.
Therefore, you need to secure your spot today if you don’t want to miss out on this transformational learning experience.
Here’s the thing…
We all wish that we already had the level of Hungarian we’ve been working and studying for so hard.
That we were already able to confidently form Hungarian sentences.
That we finally understood what was going on around us.
That we already felt the confidence and tranquility we aimed for when finding ourselves confronted with Hungarian.
That we already felt the connection to the language of our ancestors which we have been looking for.
That we finally felt that sense of actual, applicable, real-life progress with the language.
But to get there, we need to take stock of where we are TODAY and take the actions necessary that will finally get us to where want to be. Otherwise, we self-sabotage and stagnate for yet more weeks and months by trying to work things out all by ourselves.
I don’t want you to look back in 6 or even 12 months from now, still frustrated by your slow progress, learning, forgetting, and inability to follow along.
Instead, I want you to finally feel that confidence when speaking Hungarian… proud of your fast progress and effective and fun learning style with your friends, family, and other Hungarians complimenting you for your achievements.
And I want you to thank yourself for the decision you made TODAY.
What’s this course about?
This course is a three-week interactive immersion into Hungarian where you learn and receive everything you need to become an efficient, successful Hungarian learner.
It consists of live classes, (video-) material, access to a community, and 1:1 assistance from Juli.
For which Hungarian level is this course? Am I at the right level for this?
I designed this course for upper beginner to intermediate learners. If you’re familiar with the alphabet and know a few basic words and sentences you’re good to go. If you’re already an advanced learner, have a look at the detailed list of the material we’ll cover above. This will help you decide whether the course is at your level or too easy.
Will I be fluent after the three weeks?
No, it’s not possible to reach fluency within three weeks in any language. This would be an empty promise.
However, The Hungarian Accelerator will equip and empower you to become an efficient self-sufficient learner and reach fluency a lot faster.
I created it to save you tons of effort and despair on your journey.
Here’s my promise instead of instant fluency: You’ll have everything it takes to tackle the language. You’ll be confident on your way to fluency. You’ll know what to learn, when, and how. You’ll have a community and a go-to person (me) should you still get stuck. You can become fluent in months, instead of years (depending on your time).
What’s the course schedule?
The course runs from April 25th to May 13th. Live sessions are every Monday and Wednesday from 6 pm to 7:30 pm CET / 12 pm to 1:30 pm ET.
I’ll record all live sessions and give you lifetime access to them so it’s not the end of the world if you can’t make one or two.
Apart from the live session, you’ll receive (video-) material on weekdays in a sensible order. However, you’re free to explore these at your pace – they’re not necessary to make the most of the live sessions.
What exactly will I get after I join the cohort?
Once you join you’ll gain instant access to the course area. Before the start date, you can go through the preparational material.
Once we kick off the course you’ll receive your access to the live classes and I’ll unlock the material step-by-step in a sensible order for your learning process.
The member’s area will open a few days before the course starts so you can start to mingle with the other participants.
After the course, you have lifetime access to all material and the recording of each live session.
You have 12 months to make use of your 1:1 session and 3x email consulting with me.
I work full time - how many hours will I need every week to get awesome results?
I structured this course in a way people who work full time or have other commitments will benefit from it just as well. All you need is 5-15 hours per week for the three weeks of the course. You’ll use these to participate in the live sessions, get familiar with the material, and design your study plan.
We’ll design your detailed study plan together and customize it to your exact needs and schedule. Thus, after the course, you can put in as much or as little time as it suits you.
What’s the return policy?
I’m 100% committed to the Hungarian Accelerator being a resource to bring you structure, clarity, real-life success, and an enthusiastic learning community.
However, like everything else in life, this isn’t a magic wand and you have to put in the work.
That said if you attend the live classes to your ability and complete the exercises and still don’t experience any significant improvement to your skills and Hungarian-learning experience you receive a full refund.
What if I can’t make a live session?
The live sessions make this course special, interactive, and different from all other courses out there. It’s where you get to meet other learners, ask questions, and participate.
That said, I’ll record all live sessions and give you lifetime access to them so it’s not the end of the world if you can’t make one or two.
You also get to ask questions in your private class and through email consulting with me, as well as on the online platform all other participants have access to.
Nevertheless, I strongly suggest you try to make as many live sessions as possible.
What if I have other questions?
Email me at catchbudapest at gmail dot com. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
The Hungarian Accelerator is a whole new experience of language learning. It’s a unique combination of self-education and learning with other Hungarian-enthusiasts in a cohort.
Additionally, you have all benefits of an experienced tutor. You get to ask questions and meet 1:1 long after the course finishes.
At the end of the course, you’ll have everything it takes to learn Hungarian in an efficient way:
➡️ You’ll be able to understand and apply grammar without getting lost in dry, complicated lingo.
➡️ You’ll be able to remember vocab without headaches. You’ll be able to recall Hungarian words with ease.
➡️ The Hungarian Accelerator shows you exactly what to learn and when based on your level.
➡️ It gives you real-life opportunities to practice.
In short: This course will transform your Hungarian skills and approach to language learning like no other.
🗓️ It runs from April 25th to May 13th.
