Summer Courses - University of Debrecen

Course Description: Debrecen Summer School offers a new course to foreigners who are interested in the history and culture, the past and present, of Hungary but whose level of Hungarian is not yet advanced enough to immerse in the topic by using the vernacular. The course has been designed with special regard to those who (might) get into contact with Hungary or Central Europe. Based on the major turning points of the history of our country in the 19th-20th centuries, Modern Hungary provides a comprehensive portrait of the political and cultural events as well as as individual representatives and institutions of nearly two centuries.

Balassi Institut - Sommeruniversitet 2013

The Summer University of Balassi Institute 5^th August 2013 - 30^th August 2013 offers its program in the heart of Budapest (Hungarian language classes, lectures on Hungarian culture and field trips to popular spots in Hungary).

We offer Hungarian classes at all levels from basic to advanced (A1-C1). The lectures (in English) as well as the field trips are designed to present different aspects of Hungarian culture.

The aim of the language classes at beginner level is to help students speak Hungarian with confidence from day 1. Students are exposed to a balanced treatment of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and skills combined with communicative strategies. At intermediate and advanced levels courses start by a placement test, then a short period of systematizing students’ grammatical and lexical knowledge. After that the courses will help students to gain self confidence when using their Hungarian, to extend their active vocabulary and to help them manage their life and studies in an authentic Hungarian setting.

Our experienced and enthusiastic teachers use the most up-to-date methods of guided discovery and self-discovery, students are exposed to everyday situations in Hungarian in a challenging way. Besides establishing patterns for sentence structure, students will be able to assimilate pronunciation, intonation and vocabulary by actively participating in the lesson and by listening to the recorded materials, watching DVDs, working with interactive materials on computer and taking part in creative group activities.

The Hungarian language lessons are combined with lectures on Hungarian history, music, folk and fine arts, gastronomy as well as on the country's special position in Central Europe with the teaching aim to survey the periods of Hungarian history, focusing on the most important events and personalities as well as the European aspects, 20^th century etc. The museum visits and field trips connected to the lectures assist in putting the theory into practice. The capital city, the atmosphere of an exciting European metropolis and the countryside provide a variety of enriching cultural experiences.

György Dragomán: Tulipaner
Den første kapitel af Den Hvide Konge.

Om kvelden stakk jeg vekkerklokken under puten slik at bare jeg skulle høre den ringe, så mor ikke skulle våkne, men jeg var allerede våken, for jeg var så forberedt til overraskelsen. Jeg grep den forniklede lommelykten fra skrivebordet, tente den, dro vekkerklokken frem under puten, lyste på den, kvart på fem, trykket på knappen så den ikke skulle ringe, deretter tok jeg klærne jeg hadde gjort i stand kvelden før fra stolryggen og kledde fort på meg, men passet hele tiden på å være stille. Da jeg trakk på meg buksene kom jeg til å sparke borti stolen, men heldigvis veltet den ikke, dunket bare mot bordet, døren til rommet mitt åpnet jeg også forsiktig, men visste at den ikke kom til å knirke, for jeg hadde smurt hengslene med maskinolje dagen før. Jeg gikk bort til kommoden, trakk den midterste skuffen langsomt ut, tok frem den store saksen som mor pleide å klippe håret mitt med, så åpnet jeg yalelåsen til inngangsdøren og gikk veldig stille ut, løp ikke ned til den første avsatsen, først derfra styrtet jeg nedover trappen. Innen jeg kom ned foran blokka var jeg gjennomsvett, gikk mot den lille parken, for der vokste byens aller vakreste tulipaner i prydbedet ved siden av fontenen
