"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Jew. And then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me. – Martin Niemöller „Eloször a szocialistákért jöttek, és nem emeltem fel értük a szavamat – mert nem voltam szocialista. Aztán a szakszervezetek tagjaiért jöttek, és nem emeltem fel értük a szavamat – mert nem voltam szakszervezeti tag. Aztán a zsidókért jöttek, és nem emeltem fel értük a szavamat – mert nem voltam zsidó. Aztán értem jöttek, és már nem volt, aki felemelje a szavát - értem.” – Martin Niemöller Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat. Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten, habe ich nicht protestiert; ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter. Als sie die Juden holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Jude. Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte. – Martin Niemöller ** To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last - but eat you he will. - Ronald Reagan

Special: Saturday afternoon (from 1 to 5pm) group English classes now available (seating up to 8 students) at an incredibly low rate of just 1000 forints per 60 minutes (does not include tax). The title of the class will be "Building your Survivor’s toolkit”.

Due to the "Financial Crisis (War)”, many of us are feeling a bit apprehensive about our futures and financial instability. The Saturday afternoon lessons will be designed to address such concerns by working together to build a network of support. We will be discussing job prospects, training for job interviews, learning to communicate more effectively in English (and Hungarian), learning the basics of economics and the reasons behind the crisis, the politics of it all, and the reasons behind Hungary’s enema.

These classes are open-ended, and anyone can join. Drop-ins are welcome, but please send me a message to confirm we are holding classes. It is only assured that I’ll be in the office if I know someone is coming.

"Promoting the well-being of our fellow humans is essential to the pursuit of our own happiness.” - Richard Cumberland (1672)

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." - The United States Declaration of Independence, primarily drafted by Jefferson (July 4, 1776)

There is a coupon program is available, and if we get regular attendees, I’ll recommend books, which will not be the basic English grammar books, as part of the core curriculum. We can spend a few minutes reviewing grammar if need be, but only where pertinent.
