CEFR Level B1

B1: Lower Intermediate German

Achieve independent language use. At B1, you can handle most situations likely to arise while traveling and express yourself clearly on familiar topics.

The Path to Independence

The B1 German course is the pivotal stage where students transition from guided communication to genuine independence in the language. Having mastered basic tenses and case systems in A1/A2, B1 focuses on expanding vocabulary for complex topics, understanding longer, nuanced texts, and expressing opinions, hopes, and plans coherently. You will learn to use all necessary subordinating conjunctions and the passive voice, allowing you to narrate experiences, describe dreams, and justify views with sufficient grammatical complexity for daily communication and preparing for official B1 certification exams.

What You Will Learn

Complex Sentence Structures

Mastery of the Subjunctive II (*Konjunktiv II*), passive voice (*Passiv*), and advanced sentence connectors (*damit, obwohl, während*).

Handling Abstract & Current Affairs

Vocabulary related to politics, environmental issues, media consumption, and the ability to summarize news articles and debates.

Opinion Sharing and Justification

Structuring arguments, expressing conditions (*wenn/falls*), hypothesizing, and leading group discussions on cultural and social topics.
