Hungarian I. PS2021 Teacher: Mgr. Linda Opálená Email: linda.opalena@mail.muni.cz Dear students, I would like to welcome you all in our Hungarian I. course and invite you to 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 weeks. General rules: Time: according to your timetable Place: your designated classroom; if we need to change to distance learning later it will be MS Teams You will be invited to join the Hungarian Team, you will need a camera and a microphone ready to use. For classroom learning, you will need 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 at the end of term, 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: Course book: MagyarOK1 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 or not), but it is not necessary to print it. There is generally quite a bit of note taking during the lessons especially for translation, pronunciation and grammar points and I find it is easier to do directly in the printed sheets, but of course you are free to choose your style. You can also find the listening tracks in the materials. We are going to use these during the lessons. Another part of the materials are Glossaries with the obligatory vocabulary (I will tell you more in the first lecture about how to use these) and a Grammar file in English (you are not required to study all this grammar, it is the 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.

You can use this week to get your materials ready.
