You can cope with most everyday and some work related situations. You can speak fluently in simple sentences using a range of basic grammar and vocabulary.

operational 250hrs

You command all the major structures of the language. You can talk fluently on subjects of interest to you and are able to deal with a range of common work demands.

extensive 450hrs

You are at ease with the full range of structures of both spoken and written Hungarian. You have the specialised vocabulary necessary to confidently meet the demands of your job and you can use the language in an appropriate style in both formal and informal situations.

 

Course management

Every student at BLS benefits from our course management system. This has three phases:

language assessment

An oral interview establishes the student's linguistic and professional needs. We offer a language audit to all companies. This identifies the specific language needs of an organisation. We test all students, with the exception of total beginners, to establish their current level.

course design

We draw up a set of objectives for the student and a course of study is agreed upon by BLS and the student.

course evaluation

The Director of Studies monitors the students' progress and necessary adaptations are made to the program. At the end of the course students may take a recognised external exam. We also advise them on how to maintain their proficiency.
