Central European University Budapest (CEU)

Since I'm a Transylvanian Hungarian (Transylvania being part of Romania), my first language is Hungarian, that's why I didn't have any problems with the language of the host-country, which is Hungary. My English seemed to have improved during my time at CEU but not because of the other students but because either of the academic work (lectures, working with texts) or some of the students (native speakers of English.) Unfortunately, most of the students at CEU have at best an upper-intermediate level of English which is further downgraded to some sort of Eastern-European pidgin-English when they interact among themselves (speakers of English as a second language).

Except new knowledge I had opportunity to learn new methods, face with nes subjects and to meet new people

Citizens of the host country did not speak eEglish, but it was not a problem, it was even good for myself!

I think I can always use more prctice, but I feel comfortable, if a bit slow in a business situation.

Came in speaking english, spoke it and left speaking english. Russian also was one of the dominant languages in my social life. Azerbaijani with my compatriates. Turkish with the turks.

Hungarian is a nice and interesting language, and I enjoyed studying it.
