ORIGÓ Hungarian B1 study plan

Review the Hungarian vowel harmony rules (front/back/rounded) and the plural, accusative, and possessive endings, writing out 40 declined noun forms by hand.

Drill the verb conjugation of the present tense indefinite and definite paradigms for 20 common verbs (csinál, tanul, olvas, ír, szeret, lát, etc.) until you can produce them without notes.

Listen to 20 minutes of B1-level Hungarian audio daily (podcast or radio news) and note 10 unknown words per session in a vocabulary log.

Build a personal error log: every mistake you make in writing or speaking gets one line with the correct form.

Master past tense (both paradigms) and the conditional mood, then write 15 original sentences using each.

Learn the most frequent verbal prefixes (meg-, el-, be-, ki-, fel-, le-, át-) and distinguish 10 verb pairs whose meaning changes with the prefix.

Listen to 25 minutes of audio daily and practice shadowing one 2-minute segment until you can repeat it at natural speed.

Practice recognizing the topic-comment word order of Hungarian sentences by reordering 20 scrambled sentences.

Complete 6 full B1 listening tasks (announcements, dialogues, short interviews) under timed conditions and transcribe the answers you missed.

Identify and drill the case endings and postpositions that carry the most meaning in listening (ban/ben, ba/be, ból/ből, nál/nél, hoz/hez/höz, -val/-vel, alatt, fölött, mellett, között).

Learn 60 high-frequency connector and discourse words (tehát, viszont, ráadásul, egyébként, tulajdonképpen, végül is) and use each in a spoken sentence.

Listen to one authentic 10-minute interview twice: once for gist, once for detail, noting numbers, names, and times.

Read 8 B1-level texts of different genres (article, notice, advertisement, email, short story) and answer comprehension questions in under 10 minutes each.

Extract and learn 80 new words from those texts, sorting them into nouns, verbs, and fixed phrases.

Practice scanning for specific information (dates, prices, conditions) in 5 short practical texts.

Review pronoun use, word order in questions, and the difference between the -ik verb class and regular verbs.

Write 3 informal emails (invitation, apology, request) of 80-100 words each, applying the correct greeting and closing formulas.

Write 2 formal letters or complaint emails using magázás forms consistently throughout.

Read 5 model-style B1 texts and mark their paragraph structure, then rewrite one of your own emails to match that structure.

Practice connecting sentences with appropriate conjunctions and check every paragraph for a clear main idea.

Write 2 opinion essays of 120-150 words on everyday topics (work, environment, technology) within 30 minutes each.

Record yourself speaking for 3 minutes on 6 different B1 topics and transcribe each recording to find recurring errors.

Practice the speaking exam tasks: introducing yourself, describing a picture or situation aloud from notes, and giving and defending an opinion.

Learn 25 phrases for agreeing, disagreeing, hesitating, and buying time in conversation.

Hold three 10-minute mock speaking sessions (with a partner or recorded solo) covering all typical exam task types.

Do 5 timed listening mock tests and review every error against the transcript.

Practice pronunciation of long vs. short vowels and consonant length, and drill the stress pattern of Hungarian words.

Rehearse a 2-minute monologue on a prepared topic with no notes, then repeat it with only keyword prompts.

Complete 2 full timed mock exams under real conditions, including all five domains.

Review the error log and redo every item you got wrong in weeks 1-7.

Drill your 30 weakest vocabulary items and 10 weakest grammar structures until they are automatic.

Simulate the speaking exam twice with a strict timekeeper and no preparation notes.

Finalize exam-day strategy: time allocation per section, order of answering, and how to handle unknown words.
