German Language Course B1.1
Everything you need to know!
In the first part of the B1 German course you work on your speaking, listening, reading and writing skills on familiar topics from work, school or leisure. All topics are based on your previous knowledge of German from level A2. Our language trainers will teach you new vocabulary and deepen your German grammar.
Your German language skills after the B1.1 German course:
Talking about familiar things
At the beginning of the B1.1 German course you will learn to talk about various topics that are familiar to you and that can help you to cope with most situations when travelling. You will be able to talk about experiences and events, describe hopes and goals and give short explanations.
At the end of B1.1 you will be able to read and understand texts in common everyday or professional language. Writing simple, coherent texts on topics that interest you personally will no longer be a problem for you.
We use these topics to expand your vocabulary:
- friendship
describing people - work
evaluating the past - living
talking statistics - customer service
complaints - media and technology
making assumptions about the future - invitations
issuing and answering semi-official invitations - animals and advice
conducting customer service conversations
- career choices
describing strengths and weaknesses, statements - health, sport and nutrition
making a presentation - missed opportunities
expressing and reacting to disappointment - moments of happiness
commenting on something emotionally - everyday life
blogging - events in a company
writing invitations, acceptances and commitments - holidays at work
writing letters and emails
Your grammar topics at level B1.1
Of course there is not only vocabulary in the German language. That’s why in this part of the course we also deal with new grammar topics and deepen those you’ve already learned.
| Grammar topics at language level B1.1 | |
|---|---|
| adjectives as noun conjunctions | conjunctions because, during and before |
| n-declination | adjective declination with comparative and superlative |
| preterite subjunctive II in the past | relative clauses |
| Plusquamperfect | conjunctions obwohl and trotzdem |
| conjunction nachdem | future I |
| adjective declination | conjunction falls |
| conjunction trotz | infintive with “zu” |
| Infinitivsätze mit zu | genitive |
In order to really consolidate your German grammar, we try to explain all topics in a comprehensible way and show you how to use them in practice. From experience we also know that often the correct oral application of grammar is difficult. To improve this, we use oral exercises and activities from the beginning.
