Master 30 discourse connectors and logical markers (e.g. ennek ellenére, következésképpen, míg, ugyanis) and insert them into 15 gapped sentences.

Practice three role-play scenarios (e.g. negotiating, complaining, making arrangements) with a partner or by recording both parts.
Listen to four 4-minute interviews and summarize each orally in 90 seconds, then compare with notes.
