Dear sirs,
I am a native Englishman who has lived in Budapest for four years. I speak basic Hungarian.
I believe where I can add value is from an “English” perspective of how Hungarians work or view the world. I also speak French fluently and Spanish a little, some Latin and some German. I am a linguist more than a language teacher.
I do not have any formal qualifications in teaching, the best way to learn a language is to speak it idiomatically then the grammar comes afterwards (or if it is English, never!). On my bookshelf I have the best dictionaries from magyarul to angolul and vice versa, and various other languages, but I tend to concentrate first on day-to-day English.
My main struggle with learning Hungarian is everyone wants to talk to you in English, in Budapest anyway, so one never gets to learn Hungarian. If one asks “what is that?” they say “well, it’s a bicycle”. YOU KNOW? ENGLISH? BICYCLE? And I say I know that. What is it called in Hungarian,? WELL IT HAS TWO WHEELS AND A CHAIN AND A SADDLE AND BRAKES AND LAMPS. Yes I know what it is, what is it called? Thus Wittgenstein is routed by my trying to extract a Hungarian word from a Hungarian. They don’t even seem to know what a biro is (the Hungarian brother Miklos and Laszlo Biro invented it, and in English it is called a Biro, in Hungarian a golyóstoll: join the Biro Internationalisation Campaign! (BIC).
I am extremely good at language and idiom, and make lessons fun with odd facts mostly to do with how most of your good bridges and stations were built by the British and the bad ones by the French. I do know quite a lot about Hungarian history, but pretend I don’t so that students can tell me all about it. (Twelve martyrs of Arad?)
