Pécs and its region gleefully unite Balkan, German, and Turkish cultures with Hungarian, opening doors towards Croatia, Italy, and the Balkans. The diversity, geographical location, history and rich cultural traditions of the region provide the colourful background for this one-month intercultural and experiential programme, which has become the trademark of excellency and conceptual innovation in the past two decades.
The in-class study materials and the experience-based, outdoor lessons lay a solid foundation of language knowledge, while at the same time place major emphasis on meaningful communication and natural use of language. The MagyarOK study material integrates activities around intercultural exchange and rapid progression, enabling our participants to communicate with native speakers at an early stage of language learning.
Cultural seminars, trips and outdoor programmes and project work accompany the language classes, thus participants get in touch with local culture and people and gain insight into the everyday life and values of Pécs and the region. All programs integrate activities that are carefully designed to improve Hungarian as a foreign language skills of participants.
