Learning outcomes
|
The course introduces students to the basics of present day Hungarian. It has a practical approach; therefore it aims at providing students with knowledge that is readily available and usable in everyday situations. Although grammar forms an important part of the lessons, it is considered more a tool than an aim in itself. In other words, the goal is to teach students Hungarian, and not about Hungarian.
