Kossuth Foundation Language Program Announcement and Guidelines – Fall 2020 Semester

Program Overview – The Kossuth Foundation language program offers stimulating online evening or weekend classes at all levels of study. New and returning students are welcome. If you are uncertain about which class may be right for you, please contact us. All classes are small and taught by experienced, native Hungarian teachers – many of whom have taught with us or at other locations for many years. We strive to make the classes educational, culturally rewarding and fun. Our classes are normally 12 weeks during the fall and spring semesters with the potential for a shorter session in the summer. This fall, classes will begin the week of September 14 and end before the Christmas holidays. Click here to read more about our language program.

Mission Statement

Kossuth Foundation Awarded Grant from the Bethlen Gabor Foundation

On May 24, 2018, the Kossuth Foundation was awarded a generous 1,000,000 HUF (approximately $3,600) grant from the Bethlen Gabor Foundation (Bethlen Gábor Alapitvány or BGA) to support the Kossuth Foundation’s adult Hungarian language education program. The BGA is supported by the National Policy Research Institute (Nemzetpolitikai Kutatóintézet) of the Government of Hungary. Upon hearing of the grant award, Gabor Rozsa, Executive Director of the Foundation, said “We are enormously appreciative of the generous support we have received from the Bethlen Gabor Foundation and the Hungarian Government.”

The Kossuth Foundation’s language program offers evening adult language education in the Washington, DC metro area at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. The program employs professional teachers who are all native Hungarian speakers with practical experience in language education. In the past, the program has been supported by donations from students, and has struggled to break even. This new grant will allow the program greater flexibility to grow and provide more services to the community. Grant funds will be used to help defray the salaries of teachers and also to purchase supplies to enhance the ability of the classes to meet student needs.
