Anyone who completed the simplified naturalization process?

marvelosity

Hello everyone! I am a U.S. citizen with a Hungarian great-great-grandfather, interested in the simplified naturalization process in Hungary. My understanding is that I need documents demonstrating the ancestry and also need to learn Hungarian to some degree. Has anyone completed the simplified naturalization process, and if so, how good is your Hungarian? I definitely need to learn more than what I have now, which is extremely basic, but I am wondering how hard the questions the interviewer asks are. I have heard it has gotten harder in recent years, and because Hungarian is reportedly a difficult language for English-speakers to learn, I don't want to pursue it if I won't ever be able to attain the needed level of fluency. Also, did anyone use the services that advertise themselves online as helping one through the application process? I'm not sure if they are scams. Thank you in advance!

I've just completed it (will take the oath soon). My hungarian is perfect. I wasn't "interviewed" (no need for it, given that I applied in Hungary, spoke hungarian with the employees, my name is hungarian, I look like a hungarian, I walk like a hungarian, etc.). I did not use any third-party service.  :top:
