Makó is situated in the South-Eastern part of Hungary, in Csongrád (CS) county, close to the Romanian and Serbian borders. The king of journalism József Pulitzer (1847-1911) and the brilliant creater of the FORD model "T" József Galamb (1881-1955) were born in this town.

Did you know that

The Hungarian language contains approximately 1,000,000 words. An average Hungarian person uses between 3,000-6,000 and the writers use between 20,000-30,000 words in their works.
Hungarian has 44 letters in the alphabet, not 26 like English. Some of these letters have one or two strokes over them and two have two dots. Some letters actually consist of two letters.
Hungarian grammar construction is very different from French, Spanish, Italian, German, or English.
