Help correct/improve my motivation letter

So I'm applying for a language summer school scholarship in Hungary. Below is my first draft, please tell me what I could improve/add.

Thank you in advance.

--------------------------------

Dear Sir or Madam:

With this letter I would like to express my interest in taking part at the Debrecen Summer School in Language and Culture. I am currently at the second year of my studies at the Universitas Gadjah Mada, majoring in Business and even though the two doesn’t directly correlate, I have always had a deep interest in said subject.

When I was in high school, I took a Japanese course for 2 months, and even after that I still study a bit in my free time. Although I’m still in beginner level, I can understand about 20% of what Japanese people are saying in anime(s) or films. I also did some voluntary work for a fansubber group for a few months.

Therefore, I would be just as captivated to learn Hungarian and the country’s culture at University of Debrecen. In that line, it is quite evident that there’s so much experience to gain, especially when you’re immersed in the culture itself. Not to mention that Hungary is known to have a lot of cultural festivals and operas. There’s no doubt that this summer school is so invaluable for me and for my future endeavors.

Furthermore, I firmly believe that curricula of the summer school will provide the fundamentals of the language, which I plan to continue improve post-returning to Indonesia.

I am confident you will find my application as a worthwhile investment. My attendance at this summer school is a wise investment and I would highly appreciate to be one of the selected participants.


Best Regards,
