Ildiko

I think for any Hungarian person, learning another language is really important. Most foreigners can't speak Hungarian, of course, so if you want to meet and talk to people from other countries, you have to learn English... and of course it's also very important if you want to get a good job!

Karina

It's very important for me to learn Greek, because I'm married to a Greek man! He can speak Danish, of course, so I don't have to speak Greek at home, but when we go to Greece in the summer, I can't talk to my husband's parents or any of the older people in his family, and I think that's really sad.

Dorothy

For me learning Italian is just a hobby. I don't have to study it for a special reason, I just like the language and I like going to my evening classes - it's something to do in the winter. And, of course I love Italy... I always go to Italy for my holidays, so then I can practice what I learn

Daniel

My reasons are very simple - I have to learn English for my university exams. At my university, if we don't pass, we can't continue into the second year, and we have to do the first year again! If we pass, we can take another course instead of English - economics or other things - but I want to continue with English, it might be useful one day.
