About Senior CELTA trainer, Neil Anderson, talks about whether Hungarian really is as difficult to learner as people say it is. Summary Neil concedes that Hungarian is a difficult language, but that this should not be a concern: CELTA applicants who come to Budapest a) are able to pick up the basics of Hungarian b) English is widely spoken in Budapest. It is therefore not difficult for CELTA trainees to get around and enjoy living in Budapest. He has some advice concerning Hungarian for all those who wish to teach EFL (English as a Foreign Language) in Budapest: it is worth learning some Hungarian as Hungarians will be very appreciative of the effort made, even if they will not always understand what you have said. This video might be of use to: • People interested in gaining employment in the TEFL industry but have no teaching experience and little knowledge of TEFL and other relevant teaching qualifications such as the CELTA • CELTA course applicants, participants and graduates who are looking at Budapest / Hungary as a possible destination • Those TEFL who are interested in learning foreign languages, and the language of the country they want to move to Background The Cambridge CELTA is the most widely recognised initial qualification in teaching English as a foreign language, recognised by language schools in dozens of countries around the world. In short, it is the qualification you want to have if you plan to seek employment as an English language teacher in a quality language school. When your prospective employer sees that you have completed the CELTA-- and at a reputable training centre such as IH Budapest-- you are in a far better position than applicants who don't have the Cambridge qualification.
