Szia!

I recently moved to Hungary for two reasons: in order to be closer to my Magyar girlfriend and of course to test my language teaching skills! The sprawling metropolis that is Budapest is now my new home.

I am slowly getting to know my new surroundings in a variety of ways: through the many different modes of public transport, on foot and through my favourite method, cycling! This is particularly good in the late evening when the city’s roads feel a little safer!

For anybody who views this site it is important for me to stress that I share a number of similar aims. One saying that I continually try to remind both myself and others is “every day is a school day” In others words we can all of us learn something new every day!

So in this vein by moving to a different country I’m seeking to develop myself in a number of ways, most obviously my career but also and perhaps more importantly aspects such as my own language skills along with my confidence and my experiences of different places and cultures.

I will try to regularly update the site with my experiences and reflections on my time in Budapest and of Hungary in general. I will also include links to any documents/websites that I feel would be of use concerning use of the English language.

Viszlát!

Learn English from a native speaker

More and more people are considering studying or working abroad, especially in English speaking countries. One of the main difficulities are speaking to and understanding native speakers. The more confident you are, the more likely you are to succeed. Getting experience with a native speaker will help to increase your confidence and your job prospects both in Hungary and beyond. Through my experience, learning from a native speaker rapidly improves your ability to use the language in a more realistic way.
