The advanced-level Hungarian course offers advanced level language study for students who have completed four semesters (or more) of Hungarian, and have a substantial basic knowledge of Hungarian grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. The purpose of this course is to enable students to converse about moderately complex personal, social, and academic topics, read and understand a full range of literary genres, and write and translate to meet most personal and academic needs. Based on readings, students can extend vocabulary and develop a more academic style for conversation and writing.
Students will further improve their language skills by participating at the weekly conversation hours.
