The IFL develops for every student an individual syllabus (ideally for six months in advance), which helps students prepare for the classes and acquire the subject materials with the help of predetermined materials, in the school or at home, regarding the requirements of the subject.

Most importantly, yourself, but if you are a long-term IFL-student, don't forget your homework either! :)

The IFL provides all students with learning opportunities/materials, including orders, writing instruments (pens, pencils, compasses, rulers, rubbers, correctors, marker pens, stickers, clue, etc.), exercise books (if they can't afford the 100% environment-friendly lessons – e.g.: smart gadgets of Apple, smart notebooks of RocketBook CORE or the paper-like tablet of ReMarkable), and the books used in classes can be sent via email or printed (if needed), broadband internet during classes that can only be used for the aim of LEARNING/TEACHING!

There are two ways to meet your teacher: 1) in the school in Tiszaújváros, in person or 2) online.

Attention! You will get an invitation about your appointment from your teacher via mail (in case of classroom teaching, in the first 2-3 of the lesson), which contains a link to the virtual classroom. It is important to be at your computer at least 5 minutes before the class.

IFL has a solution also for this! As the language school uses the system of Reservio Business, it has the functionality that it reminds the students 24 hours before the appointment, that he/she will have a lesson on the next day, so it is assured that they won't forget their homework. :)

It's easy, click on 'Appointment', where you can choose from three options.

Attention! The Reservio is available only for IFL-students as a booking system! New Joiners can book an appointment by filling out this form. You will always get feedback via mail on the same day!

YES!

There are strict rules for students and their contacts (parents, if the student is under the age of 18), in many ways! The rules are announced in the first class.

ATTENTION! Any violation or ignorance of the rules may lead to termination of legal relationship with IFL!

Of course! Once you overcome the obstacles successfully at IFL and perform well in your field, you become a member of IFL-alumni automatically. This has many advantages regarding your future learning at IFL.

IFL Alumni membership is activated for students after a prestigious competition/outstanding performance and a written notification is sent out by the school by email.

Being an alumni member is the best thing about IFL, as you will receive a gift after proving your outstanding performance, and if you remain an IFL member, you will receive a discount on your tuition fees for the whole period of your studies! You will also be listed as an Alumni on the official IFL website, which can be viewed by anyone in the world, and your name will be included in the "Successful Students" book at the Language School!

Your membership is perpetual, as long as you don't interrupt it for more than 6 months! After 6 months, you can no longer claim the hourly rate discount, even if you have been studying at IFL for years before!

It depends on what you would like to learn. The prices are between 4000 HUF and 5500 HUF, depending on language and level. Different rates apply for Alumni members!

Visit the official IFL headquarters in person for all the help you need to claim your exam fee back!

It is important to know that the exam fee must always be paid to the relevant Language Examination Centre before the exam! After a successful examination, the Hungarian State Treasury will return the fee to the student or his/her relative. (Attention! The Language Examination Centres will always issue an invoice for the examination fee paid in electronic or paper form! This is the document without which it is NOT possible to claim the exam fee back!)

The IFL Private Language School is located in Tiszaújváros at Hajdú tér 7. There is a dead-end street leading to the school, which leads to the teachers' parking lot of the local Tiszaújváros Széchenyi István Elementary School and the parking lot of the Tanuszoda.

Parking in front of the school is free!

Of course! In language lessons, almost every time, new vocabulary is taught, which consist of smaller, shorter, easy-to-do exercises that are written at the beginning of the lesson. This is important for the future, as it assures the teacher that the student is prepared for the lessons and can integrate what he or she has learned into his or her studies.

For the basic language examination, 300 contact hours are usually required. For the intermediate level you need at least 540 contact hours, while for the advanced level you need about 800 hours starting from the beginner level.

Attention! The above figures depend on the individual! Some students are able to achieve an excellent result in a fraction of this time, while others need even more hours to achieve the desired result!

Anyone (Hungarian or foreign, as long as they are not a native speaker of English/German/Dutch/Spanish etc. - depending on the language of the exam) who is 14 years old in the year of application can apply for the exam.

However, it is important that you must have a valid identity card or passport to take the test! You will not be able to start the exam without one!

To pass the exam, you must achieve 60% of the maximum score, but you must also achieve 40% in each of the sections (five in the bilingual version (translation) and four in the monolingual version)!

However, it is not compulsory for a complex examination to achieve 60% in the "written" and "oral" sections of the Hungarian accredited examination system. The "written" and "oral" exams can therefore compensate each other, if the above 40% is reached, only the overall result of the whole exam counts for the success of the complex exam.

In addition to the complex examination, if the examination was only partially successful, a separate state-recognised oral or state-recognised written certificate may be obtained (in which case the above conditions must apply to the written or oral parts of the examination). Certificates are issued automatically according to the results.

If you apply for a separate written or oral test, the conditions are the same, but of course only the parts of the written or oral test are counted.

One of the conditions for success is that each of the sections (five in the bilingual version and four in the monolingual version) must be at least 40%.

• The written test consists of reading comprehension, writing skills and, in the case of bilingual tests, translation.

• The oral test includes listening comprehension and speaking skills.

The pass mark of 40% is the average of the tasks in the test part, i.e. there is no pass mark for each task within the test part.

Most language examinations can be taken as a complex examination, but you can also apply for a separate written examination or a separate oral examination.

You can find out the results at the latest on the 30th day after the test at the test centre or on the test centre's website. Many examination centres use individual codes to preserve anonymity.

In most cases, yes, but if you want to take an internationally recognised exam, you should be aware that most of them only allow monolingual dictionary use, while the Hungarian state-recognised exams allow bilingual dictionary use. It depends on the type of the exam!
