At IH Budapest, we always welcome feedback from our students. It's great to hear how they experience the lessons, how they feel about the lessons and how they are progressing towards their goals.
We would like to share these stories regularly from now on, because we believe that every student's journey is special and we are truly honoured to be part of it.
This time Joseph, a long-time student of ours, talks about what IH means to him. Read our short interview with him:
Why did you choose IH Budapest?
“My high school English teacher recommended International House to me.”
Why did you choose the individual form and what was your aim in learning?
I have been learning English at IH for a long time. I can say that I started learning English decades ago at IH. During my active life, everyday practice was my biggest teacher (practice makes perfect). After this period, I returned to IH. I realized that learning a foreign language is hard, but forgetting is easy. My aim at IH now is to keep my knowledge and increase it. I think the best solution is to learn with a native English teacher using an individual method.
What do you think about the course?
„Számomra a legnagyobb kihívást egy anyanyelven beszélő tanár megértése és a vele való gyors társalgás jelenti. Jelenleg egy amerikai fiatal ember a tanárom, akivel nagyon élvezem a tanórákat, a nagy korkülönbség ellenére jól megértjük egymást, és jól meg tudjuk beszélni a témákat, még olyanokat is, amik nem szokványosak (a tanárom zene rajongó, de nekem nincs zenei hallásom, ez mégsem okoz problémát).
My favourite topics are sport, Hungarian history and especially English proverbs. I enjoy comparing English proverbs with Hungarian ones."
Why would you recommend IH Budapest to others, and to whom?
„A lényeg, hogy eddig csak pozitív élményekkel gazdagodtam az IH-ban, mindenkinek szívből javaslom az iskolát.”
-Joseph Nyiro (78)
We believe that all feedback is valuable and we are happy to share experiences that reflect our work together. We trust that these stories will motivate others to take up language learning or simply reassure them that they are on the right track.
