German language course B1 and B2: What to expect?

The B1 and B2 levels of the German language belong to the intermediate level according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). If you want to lead an independent life in Germany, then these levels are crucial, not only for better communication between you and your environment, but also for the feeling that you are finally finding your way. This level of language means for you that you should be able to enjoy the culture around you without much trouble. For example, you could go to the cinema and finally laugh out of understanding rather than politeness. You will also understand some subtle nuances of German humor, your boss's bad jokes and all the funny situations you have been in that you didn't understand beforehand.

German language course B1:

At the B1 level, you will discover how to easily follow longer texts and conversations on topics that are close to you - work, family, travel, education. You'll be able to understand the main ideas from articles, ads or announcements, and even engage in some basic discussions.

This level prepares you for relaxed communication in everyday situations. You will be able to talk about your experiences, plans for the future, and even share your opinion - all with arguments and explanations.

You will also master more complex grammatical structures such as subjunctive II (for expressing wishes or some "what if" situations), passive voice, relative clauses and the difference between formal and relaxed expressions. These cakes will help you express yourself more precisely and with style.

German language course B2:

At the B2 level, you enter the zone where you begin to understand more complex texts and situations, even when it comes to abstract or professional topics. Movies, shows and longer discussions? No problem - you will follow them without effort and constantly thinking "What does this mean?".

This level equips you for real, more spontaneous conversations. You will be able to engage in deeper discussions, express your views and defend them with arguments, but also analyze what others are saying.

As for grammar, here you master advanced things like complex passive sentences, indirect speech and more complicated dependent clauses. This gives you the power to write and speak accurately and without error.

And vocabulary? It is the turn of words from academic, professional and abstract topics.

What can you achieve with a B1 and B2 German language certificate?

Professional opportunities

B1 and B2 levels open the door to jobs where intermediate or advanced knowledge of the German language is required. These include positions in administration, tourism, sales, health care and technical sectors. B2 level is often a prerequisite for jobs where communication in German is everyday.

Studies and specializations

For studies in Germany or other German-speaking areas, the B2 level is often the minimum requirement. With this level you can follow lectures, write essays and actively participate in discussions.

Immigration and integration
