It's great to hear how they experience the lessons, how they feel about the lessons and how they are progressing towards their goals.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"410\" data-end=\"551\">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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"674\">This time <strong data-start=\"561\" data-end=\"571\">Joseph<\/strong>, a long-time student of ours, talks about what IH means to him. Read our short interview with him:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did you choose IH Budapest?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMy high school English teacher recommended International House to me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did you choose the individual form and what was your aim in learning?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>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.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think about the course?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFor me, the biggest challenge is understanding a native-speaker teacher and keeping up a fast-paced conversation with them. My teacher at the moment is a young American man, and I really enjoy our lessons: despite the big age difference we understand each other well and can discuss topics easily, even unusual ones (my teacher is a music lover, but I have no ear for music \u2013 and yet that\u2019s no problem at all).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>My favourite topics are sport, Hungarian history and especially English proverbs. I enjoy comparing English proverbs with Hungarian ones.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Why would you recommend IH Budapest to others, and to whom?<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u201cThe main thing is that I\u2019ve had nothing but positive experiences at IH so far, and I wholeheartedly recommend the school to everyone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>-Joseph Nyiro (78)<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Az IH Budapestn\u00e9l mindig \u00f6r\u00f6mmel fogadjuk a di\u00e1kjaink visszajelz\u00e9seit.
