Survival Hungarian
Survival Hungarian
This course has been designed for English speaking university students who have come to Hungary to attend a semester at a Hungarian university. Babilon Language School holds an intensive course in conversational Hungarian during the two-week period immediately preceding Fall and Spring semesters both at Budapest Semesters in Mathematics, Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Education and at AIT-Budapest. We are confident that, like many previous course participants, you will find it a highly rewarding professional and cross-cultural experience.
This language course is not part of the BSM or AIT-Budapest program; it should not be confused with the slower-paced Hungarian language course offered for credit by those schools during the term. However, our course has been designed specifically for BSM and AIT participants and has been tested and improved for over two decades.
WHAT WE OFFER
Would you like to learn the basic Hungarian phrases essential for surviving everyday situations in Budapest?
Would you like to get a glimpse into the Hungarian culture?
Are you interested in films, good food and discovering the hidden corners of Budapest?
If yes, the Survival Hungarian course is made for you.
Enroll on an 11-day long immersion course in Hungarian with Babilon Language School. Apart from your in-class language lessons with professional teachers, you will have the opportunity to use your knowledge in real life and acquire a better understanding of the most important components of Hungarian culture. The course also includes outdoor trips and activities where you will be able to practice some of the language elements from the course. The program includes an opening and closing session, cultural insights and a culinary evening on the first day of the course, language lessons at Babilon Language School, a guided tour of the downtown and a screening of a Hungarian movie introduced by a film critic. In addition, the school will also be offering optional events in the afternoons and at weekends, focusing on different aspects of history, art and design and Jewish heritage, and there will be trips to other cities outside Budapest. Please note that these are extracurricular events and additional charges will apply.
IMPORTANT
If you decide to participate in the language course, we recommend that you arrive in Budapest a few days earlier to reduce your jet-lag before classes start. Please let us know in advance if you do not expect to arrive in time for the first day of classes.

If you enroll through your university the fee is $350. Late application fee (if you apply less than two weeks before the beginning of the course) is $440 paid in Hungarian currency in cash at Babilon.
The fee includes the textbooks. It does not include the dictionaries.
