Learn Hungarian in Budapest

The Hungarian Language School for English Speakers

We are a specialist Hungarian language school providing training for both corporate and private students. Tuition takes place at PLS, in-company and online. We also offer residential courses.

PLS was set up by Zsuzsa Pontifex in London in 1989 and was moved to Budapest in 2003. She has developed a very popular and effective teaching method supported by her own course materials. All PLS teachers are trained by her in-house.

The Founder of PLS

Zsuzsa Pontifex graduated as a teacher of Hungarian and English from the Loránd Eötvös University in Budapest. In Britain she first worked for the Hungarian section of the BBC World Service before setting up her own language school. The distinctive approach to teaching Hungarian at PLS is the product of her extensive language teaching experience in both countries.

She is the author of Complete Hungarian in the Teach Yourself series and The PLS Coursebook. In the 1990s she set the Hungarian language examinations for the British Diplomatic Service and the Institute of Linguists in London. As the Director of Studies she runs all the Hungarian language courses at PLS.
