How well can you:??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
S. A.
?? manage everyday situations, for example, doctor’s appointments
without relying on others?
?? make long-term purchases in Hungarian - without feeling
incompetent?
?? solve unexpected situations–without stressing or sweating?
?? use better valued local services instead of ones intended especially for ex-pats– because you’re not a tourist anymore?
?? negotiate exactly what you imagined (custom-made furniture, items for your house) without limiting your choices by the lack of communications skills?
?? make Hungarians comfortable around you at dinner parties without having to retreat to the kitchen as a social pariah?
?? choose from greater, quality options when you rent an apartment or look for a local job?
?? socialize with locals - without feeling the need to excuse your Hungarian –and without making jokes about yourself.
