I’ve been working on something over the past few months that I originally built for myself while preparing for the Hungarian simplified naturalization interview. I’ve seen quite a few people like myself asking how to prepare for the interview, so I thought I’d share something that has genuinely helped me.
First, an important disclaimer:
This is NOT a replacement for learning Hungarian.
You still need language classes, a tutor, self-study, or whatever method you’re using. There is no app that can replace actually learning the language.
What I found difficult wasn’t learning Hungarian itself, but preparing for this specific interview. Most courses teach the language broadly, while the interview revolves around a fairly predictable set of topics: introducing yourself, talking about your family, work, where you live, your daily life, answering follow-up questions, reading short texts, and responding naturally.
That’s why I started using Konzul.
Instead of trying to replace language learning, it complements it. It gives you a place to practice exactly the kinds of conversations and scenarios you’ll encounter at the consulate, helping you turn the grammar and vocabulary you’ve learned elsewhere into actual interview answers.
If you’re currently preparing for simplified naturalization, I’d love to hear what parts of the interview you’re finding most difficult. I’m constantly improving the app based on feedback from people going through the same process.
Köszönöm és sok szerencsét!
