More about Szeged


A great deal of my time in Szeged is spent teaching English at Deak Ferenc bilingual high school. I teach conversational English, and work on a faculty which includes, among many others, about 17 English teachers. For the past 16 years, we've had our annual English Department Christmas Party, held typically at the native teacher's flat...that would be mine! We all bring a dish to share and play some games, maybe sing some carols and play a gift exchange game! Everyone looks forward to it every December, and this past year, we had about 30 people in my flat, because we also include teachers who used to teach at Deak! Some come in from Budapest, where they now live, 2 hours away! This is a precious time of relationship building with my colleagues!
