Japanese Teacher in Budapest — Online and In-Person Japanese Lessons
I'm József Eckert, a JLPT N1-level Japanese interpreter, translator and language teacher. If you're looking for a Japanese teacher in Budapest, you'll get lessons where you start speaking Japanese from the very first session — not memorizing grammar tables. In-person lessons in Budapest and online Japanese lessons follow the same speech-focused methodology.
Among my students there's a university student preparing for an exchange program, an automotive engineer coordinating with Japanese partners, and a complete beginner starting with hiragana characters. In the first consultation we clarify your goal and build the curriculum around it.
In-person Japanese lessons in Budapest
I hold Japanese lessons for Budapest-based learners at agreed downtown or online locations — from beginner to JLPT N1 level.
Online lessons from anywhere in the country
If you can't make it to Budapest, we cover the same speech-focused material online, with a shared notes platform and digital flashcard decks.
Individual and small-group format
We can work one-on-one, or in a small group of 2–4 if you'd like to learn together with friends or colleagues.
Flexible schedule
Early morning and late evening slots are also available, so Japanese studies can fit around work or university.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Japanese lessons
How long does it take to learn Japanese?+
With two Japanese lessons a week and 20–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll typically reach JLPT N5 level in 8–10 months, and confident, independent conversation (N3) in about 2–3 years. The pace depends on your goals: someone who just wants to speak progresses faster than someone who also focuses heavily on kanji.
How much does a Japanese lesson cost?+
A 60-minute private Japanese lesson is available from 8,500 HUF, starting with one session a week. A discount applies for two or more lessons a week, and I offer students an additional 15% discount. The exact price depends on your goals and the format (online or in-person in Budapest).
Is online or in-person teaching better?+
Both follow the same speech-focused methodology. Online lessons are more flexible, accessible from anywhere, and we work with a shared notes interface. In-person Japanese lessons in Budapest suit those who concentrate better in a live setting and value handwriting practice. Many of my students use a mix of both.
