Description
The aim of the course is to introduce students into the world of Hungarian language
and to acquire the necessary grammatical and lexical skills to survive everyday
situations. (To be able to read Hungarian, introduce themselves, greet someone,
ask for information, shop, etc) Our teachers mainly use the communicative approach
in language teaching. We consider it our task to introduce the students into Hungarian
culture, for this reason we arrange the so called Hungarian Studies series of lectures
in the afternoon.
Our language lessons – based on our long term experience – are divided
into special sections according to the basic language skills, like conversation,
grammar, reading, vocabulary, and phonetics.
Evaluation
The students are evaluated continuously verbally and on paper as well. The course
ends with a verbal and a written exam, in case of a successful exam student attending
the course get 3 credits.
Cultural Component
During the time of the course in the afternoons the students may participate in
English language lessons on Hungarian Culture, history, literature, music, architecture,
history of science, and the ways of living together with other nations. Lectures
are mostly held by the professors of the university, but depending on the topic
other lecturers may be asked to do so as well.
Also the students during these afternoon programmes may visit different museums,
cultural institutions such as the National Museum, National Gallery, the House
of Terror, the National Széchenyi Library, the Museum of Ethnography, the Parliament,
the Museum of Arts, the Museum of Applied Arts, etc.
Furthermore they may go for a trip to some of the culturally rich regions as Esztergom,
the Balaton highlands, Gödöllő, Szentendre, or take a walk in the Buda Castle or
Margit Island. They may get to know Hungarian folk music and dance, or even take
part in the barn dance.

Pest's secret garden | |
|
Eötvös Loránd University’s botanical garden - an oasis of peace and quiet
in the rough and tumble of District VIII - provides a perfect place to spend an
hour or two enjoying a collection of plants from around the world. At present the
garden is home to some 7,000 species of flora including 800 varieties of cactus.
The collection ranges from more mundane plants like everyday herbs found in any
supermarket to exotic and rare tropical plants. The largest plant in the collection
is the Roystonea (Royal Palm) - the top of which had to be cut off to prevent it
from growing through the roof of the Palm House.
