A: Jó napot kívánok! Mit adhatok? B: Jó napot! Egy kávét kérnék, tejjel. A: Sajnálom, a tej épp elfogyott, csak feketét tudok adni. B: Jó, akkor legyen egy fekete kávé és egy pohár víz, köszönöm.
Végül mit rendel a vevő?
- 1Tejeskávét és vizet
- 2Fekete kávét és vizet
- 3Csak egy tejeskávét
- 4Fekete kávét és egy teát
Show answer
Correct: Fekete kávét és vizet
The customer asks for coffee with milk; the server says the milk has just run out ("elfogyott") and can only make black coffee, so he takes a black coffee and a glass of water. Q2 distractors (price / dislike / closing) are never stated — the only reason is that the milk is out. "vevő" and "eladó" are gender-neutral, so the female voice (A) and male voice (B) raise no agreement issue.

A: Jó napot! Ezt az inget szeretném visszahozni, kicsi lett rám, és szeretném visszakapni a pénzemet. B: A csere semmi gond, tudok adni másik méretet. De a pénzt csak a kártyájára tudom visszautalni, ön viszont készpénzzel fizetett. A: Igen, de igazából másik méretet sem szeretnék, nem nagyon tetszik az ing. B: Akkor kiállítok önnek egy ugyanennyi értékű vásárlási utalványt, azt bármikor elköltheti. Sajnos mást nem tudok tenni.
Mit szeretett volna eredetileg a vevő?
- 1Visszakapni a pénzét
- 2Kicserélni az inget másik méretre
- 3Venni egy második inget
- 4Panaszt tenni a termék minőségére
Show answer
Correct: Visszakapni a pénzét
The customer wants his money back, but a refund is only possible to a card and he paid in cash; he also refuses an exchange, so the clerk offers a store voucher ("vásárlási utalvány"). The cash-refund, card-refund and size-exchange options are exactly what is ruled out. "vevő" and "eladó" are gender-neutral, so the male voice (A) and female voice (B) raise no agreement issue.

A: Láttam, hogy a régi épületet végül nem lebontják, hanem felújítják. Egyszer az életben végre rendesen csinálnak valamit, azt kell mondjam. B: Hát, attól függ, mi lesz belőle, Tamás. Ha megint csak egy szokványos bevásárlóközpont lesz, és a régi homlokzat puszta dísznek marad, akkor szerintem inkább bontsák le. A: Ne légy már ennyire borúlátó, Réka. A tervben kulturális központ szerepel; könyvtár lesz benne, meg a kerületnek nyitott termek. B: Minden prospektusban ez áll. Én majd akkor hiszem el, ha tényleg látom, hogy kinyitnak az ajtók, nem a kivitelező logós kerítését.
Réka miért nem osztja Tamás lelkesedését?
- 1Mert szerinte az épületet mindenképp le kellene bontani
- 2Mert kételkedik benne, hogy a megígért kulturális hasznosítás valóban megvalósul
- 3Mert túl drágának tartja a felújítást
- 4Mert a kulturális központ helyett inkább üzleteket szeretne
Show answer
Correct: Mert kételkedik benne, hogy a megígért kulturális hasznosítás valóban megvalósul
Réka (female voice) is not against restoration per se; her worry is that the promised cultural use won't materialise (a mall behind a heritage façade). Her closing line "majd akkor hiszem el, ha tényleg látom, hogy kinyitnak az ajtók" signals scepticism toward official promises, not indifference or outright rejection. "Réka" matches B's female voice, "Tamás" matches A's male voice.

Methodology
This Hungarian listening test contains 15 items (3 at A1, 3 at A2, 3 at B1, 3 at B2, 3 at C1), ordered from A1 to C1 and drawn from the same item bank used inside the Lenguia study-plan product.
Scoring uses a pass-threshold model: each CEFR level is "passed" when you earn roughly two-thirds of its available points, and your result is the highest level you pass consecutively starting from A1. This rewards consistent competence rather than lucky guesses. Results range from A1 to C1 (the test does not grade C2).
The items are informed by the competency descriptors of the Council of Europe CEFR framework. This is a free self-assessment: results are a reliable orientation, not a certified proficiency measurement.
The competency descriptors follow the Council of Europe CEFR framework.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this Hungarian listening test?
It uses the same item bank and pass-threshold scoring as the placement engine inside Lenguia's study-plan product, so the CEFR estimate is consistent and repeatable. Like any online self-assessment it is an orientation, not an official certificate.
Is it really free? Do I need an account?
Yes — the full test, the result and the shareable certificate are free, with no signup. If you create an account afterwards, your result can be used to build a personalized study plan.
What levels can I get?
A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1. A level counts as reached when you earn roughly two-thirds of its points and have passed every level below it. C2 is not graded.
