okosito.hu – Hungarian Foundation

The Online Language Program, designed after the manner of the Tutor Program by the ’OKOSITO’ Endowment of Hungary, is aimed to support equal opportunity in language learning. Its basic goal is to develop and design online language content and publish it through the Internet free of charge. The learning units are widely used by children and pupils, their parents and teachers during school lessons and home learning but they can offer support to beginners and returning language learners of all ages, too.

Traditional Hungarian language courses are focused on vocabulary alone. Therefore, it very often happens that several years of language instruction results in only a passive command of a language. The student can understand foreign texts but is not able to formulate spoken responses. On the contrary, our online lessons are based on sentences and expressions; they support understanding with concise summaries. Our lessons are aimed to capture one’s attention and to transfer maximum information within a short time.

The program contains basic language lessons in four European languages: English, German, French and Italian. The principle of our audiovisual lessons is that language learning should rest on auditive information. This is most important because European languages are not phonetically spelled; unlike Hungarian, foreign languages are written differently from the pronunciation heard. A remarkable advantage of our online program is the parallel, multilingual development, that supports distinction of grammatical differences among foreign languages.

Our online program is supported by a registry of tutors/teachers and recommended language coursebooks. The object of our virtual language school is to raise interest in foreign languages and language learning itself.

Imagine there’s no heaven It’s easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today…	Imaginez qu’il n’y a aucun Paradis, C’est facile si vous essayez, Aucun enfer en dessous de nous, Au dessus de nous seulement le ciel, Imaginez tous les gens, Vivant pour aujourd’hui…	Képzeld el, hogy nincs mennyország Ez könnyű, ha megpróbálod Nincs pokol alattunk Fölöttünk csak az ég Képzeld el, minden ember A mának él…
Imagine there’s no countries It isn’t hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace…	Imaginez qu’il n’y a aucun pays,Ce n’est pas dur à faire, Aucune cause pour laquelle tuer ou mourir, Aucune religion non plus, Imaginez tous les gens, Vivant leurs vies dans la paix…	Képzeld el, nincsenek országok Ezt nem nehéz megtenned Senki nem öl vagy hal érte És vallás sincs Képzeld el, minden ember Békében él…
You may say I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one I hope someday you’ll join us And the world will be as one	Vous pouvez dire que je suis un rêveur, Mais je ne suis pas le seul, J’espère qu’un jour vous nous rejoindrez, Et que le monde vivra uni	Azt mondhatod, hogy álmodozok De nem én vagyok az egyetlen Remélem, egy nap csatlakozol És a világ eggyé lesz
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world…	Imaginez aucunes possessions, Je me demande si vous le pouvez, Aucun besoin d’avidité ou de faim, Une fraternité humaine, Imaginez tous les gens, Partageant tout le monde…	Képzeld el, hogy nincs tulajdon Kíváncsi vagyok, tudod-e Nem kell kapzsiság vagy éhség Az ember az embernek testvére Képzeld el, hogy minden ember Megosztozik a világon…
You may say I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one I hope someday you’ll join us And the world will live as one	Vous pouvez dire que je suis un rêveur, Mais je ne suis pas le seul, J’espère qu’un jour vous nous rejoindrez, Et que le monde vivra uni	Azt mondhatod, hogy álmodozok De én nem vagyok az egyetlen Remélem, egy nap csatlakozol És a világ eggyé lesz
