Merítéses

Merítéses is a Hungarian term that translates to "immersion" or "dipping" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of education, referring to an immersive language learning approach. In a merítéses program, students are surrounded by the target language as much as possible, often with lessons conducted entirely in that language by native speakers or highly proficient teachers. The goal is to foster natural language acquisition through constant exposure and active use, mirroring how children learn their first language. This method can be applied to various subjects, not just language, where a specific skill or topic is explored in depth through hands-on experience and intensive focus. The term can also be used more generally to describe any situation where an individual is deeply involved or engrossed in an activity or environment.
