Hungarian language study in CEUS
During every academic year we offer three levels of language teaching (two semesters each of Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced with small class sizes and highly qualified native-speaker teachers who enjoy teaching very much. In class we focus on the four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening, while also taking into consideration the cultural aspects of the language. Summer intensive language instruction is also available for the first year of study through SWSEEL.
