Course Introduction

This course will provide you with basic knowledge about the history, politics, social norms, and customs in today’s Hungary. You will learn about famous figures often referenced in conversation, like King/Saint Stephen I, whose mummified right hand sits in Saint Stephen’s Basilica in central Budapest. This course will introduce you to the colorful world of Hungarian politics and provide you strategies for navigating conversations about politics, art, culture in everyday life. If you utilize the knowledge of Hungarian social norms presented here, you’ll likely make a good impression on hospitable Hungarians who invite you into their homes for a meal, and you’ll be comfortable dining in a restaurant.
