After completing my degree in Germanic Studies at Eötvös University’s Faculty of the Humanities (ELTE BTK), I achieved my PhD in the field of linguistic studies. The title of my dissertation was German Dialects in the Villages of Buda’s Hill Regions. My habilitation thesis focused on the German dialect found in Nagybörzsöny (Deutschpilsen) and was published by Praesens Publishers (Vienna) in 2014. I'm a professor at ELTE TÓK’s Department of Foreign Language and Literature, I teach German-language courses in subjects related to Hungary’s German minority groups, including ethnography, history, literature and children’s literature, and have published texts in each area. My research examines Hungarian German dialects and the past and present of national minority education in primary and preschool education.

My research focuses on the dialects of the German minority in Hungary. In my doctoral thesis I studied the dialects of the Buda Hills, in my habilitation thesis I described the mixed German dialect of medieval origin of Deutschpilsen/Nagybörzsöny. My research topics also include the role of dialects in minority education.
