COME SAY HELLO

Some nights you leave knowing exactly how to renew your residency card. Other nights you leave with a new friend and a good glass of wine. Both count.

These are events in Budapest for English speakers, built around real questions. How the healthcare system actually works. What the tax office needs from you. Where to even start with Hungarian.

Internationals and Hungarians, people who landed last month and people who came in the nineties, in one room with someone who has the answer. Dates and tickets are below.

Magyarize at a HOW TO HUNGARY community Event in Budapest for English speakers, hosted by Anikó Woods.

Coming Up

Two ways to spend an evening: learn something that saves you a headache, or just meet good people over a glass of wine. Usually both.
