About Me
I am Borbála Anna Juhász Japanese and Korean language teacher, textbook author.
I always wanted to be a language teacher, which is why I obtained a diploma in Japanese - Korean Humanities Studies and teaching in 2003.
I have been actively teaching these languages since graduation. I taught in secondary education, at several universities, at companies and currently I give private lessons.
In 2021, my Student Book and my Workbook were published, titled “First Steps in Korean Language 1.” by the publisher Műszaki Könyvkiadó. The book was written to fill a gap, as until its publication there had been no Korean language book available in Hungarian in the shops for everyone.
I have always been interested in how Far Eastern languages can be taught effectively and at a high standard, which is why even the topic of my thesis was language teaching and its methodology.
