Dear students,

I would like to welcome you all in your Hungarian I. course and invite you get familiar with the
syllabus I have created for you to get better organized and follow your progress with the study of
the subject according to the corresponding week.

General rules:

Time: according to your timetable

Place: MS Teams (in creation by IT Uni Team, hopefully ready for next week’s lesson), I will inform
you about this when ready. You will be invited to join the Hungarian Team, you will need a camera
and a microphone ready to use, your materials in electronic or printed form (as recommended by me
in the following point). I do allow the students who feel their Hungarian is good enough to pass
the exam, only to sit the exam, they do not need to follow the lessons or be online. If you would
like to use this option, please inform me via email.

Materials: You have your materials for this semester ready in IS in your Study Materials folder.
You do not have to print them all, but of course you can. I would recommend printing the TK
(Tankönyv or Student Book) and the MF (Munkafüzet or Workbook) materials because you will have to
either write or make notes in these. There is one additional file MF_Megoldókulcs or the Answer Key
for your Workbook (you will use this to check whether your answers are correct), but it is not
necessary to print it. There is generally quite a bit of note taking during the lesson especially
for translation, pronunciation or grammar and I find it easier to do it directly in the printed
sheets, but of course you are free to choose your style. You will also need to have your listening
tracks ready for listening during the Teams sessions, so have those on hand, please. Part of the
materials are Glossaries with the obligatory vocabulary ( I will tell you more online about how to
use these) and a Grammar file in English (you are not required to study all this grammar, it is a
grammar file for the whole book, so no worries, I am sure you will manage 😊).

Requirements: You need to pass the final test of 100 points (you need to receive at least 70 points
to pass the subject)

Study plan according to weeks: It can look quite easy as we manage just one real unit in this
semester and we usually do 2-3 pages a week, but do not get fooled, there will be a lot of grammar
and vocabulary and probably a very new language system for most of you to study. Please, do not
underestimate the subject and the time you will need for studying.

Week 1 (8.10.)

This is an orientational week, the lessons on FF start from next week.

Week 2 (15.10)

Get familiar with the topics and materials. Start studying: 1. fejezet (unit) pages 12,13,14/ ex.
1,2,3.

I would like you to listen and repeat the words, write them in exercise 1, listen and practise your
pronunciation in ex. 2, make sure you understand the words (we will check together on the next
lesson), look at your glossary 1 and see that you understand all the words. There are no Workbook
exercises for this. You can listen to the Magyar ábécé in ex. 3. You do not need to know it by
heart, but I would like you to connect the sounds to the letters as some of them are pronounced
differently in Hungarian.
