What is the course about?
It is suitable for people who would like to use the language in Hungary or want to understand and communicate with Hungarian people. All four skills (reading, listening, speaking, and writing) are practised but in class the emphasis is on oral communication. The book provides very clear grammar with lots of exercises.
During the course there will be lots of opportunities to do project work according to the students’ interest in case students have extra time.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair work, group work, role plays and games. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material.
Homework is highly recommended to consolidate learning.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

The textbook goes together with online material abundant in useful additional materials such as, the answer keys to exercises, vocabulary, and a collection for useful expressions for each unit, all the audio recordings, a summary of a booklet with grammar explanation.
When I've finished, what course can I do next?
Speak to your tutor about possible progression routes.
Eva started teaching younger pupils English when she was still at grammar school and then went on to university to major in English and Hungarian. She also studied ethnography since she was deeply interested in her own country’s cultural and intellectual background. Eva has taught Hungarian at all levels and has experience teaching at colleges, universities and government organisations. She loves to see the enthusiasm of adult students when they start learning Hungarian and to watch how they become inspired to learn more about the language. Eva has translated books for children from English into Hungarian. She has also translated essays by George Orwell. When she is not teaching, she likes taking long walks, gardening and practicing yoga.
