Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

In Intermediate Hungarian I you will continue to build upon your knowledge of speaking, listening and writing in Hungarian. During the first semester you will complete the textbook and take a first glimpse into Hungarian poetry and some short stories. You will learn how to find and furnish an apartment, express love, take part in a Hungarian-style barbecue, make comparisons, and learn to get others to do things for you. We will finish the semester with the reading of a short crime story. Through conversation you will continue to practice requests and commands, future plans and past experiences, and hypothetical situations.  Your readings will explore some of the more playful aspects of Hungarian word-building as well as introduce you to the particularly Hungarian (political/cultural) humor found in the tradition of the "one-minute" short story.

When Offered Fall.
