Very easy with multiple choice type of answers required.listening and choosing. And the talkingto your uunderstanding of a topic.the tslking part, you need to give more information. Regardless of the grammar. It proves you understand what you are talking about.

Hey guys, if you're on the ground IN Germany you can find guides for all levels all the way up to C2 in the bookstore chain Thalia.de

I'm not advertising them, not affiliated with them, but I picked up heaps of books recently to improve my German, and they had a wide range.

You might want to also contact the Goethe institut and ask them for a B1 marking rubric or ask them what features of language are tested per rank.

Good Luck!

Hallo Everyone,

As I had experience from B1, from the first time it was really hard. Stressed to understand mostly the word and the grammar. You gonna beggin for simple words, like you or me, how are you, where do you live like that. A1, A2,  & B1. But then for few weeks, you've learn step by step..It takes 6 months normally. During 2 to 3 months, it takes be easy. Then after 6 months you take your B1 test, it belongs Writting, Hearing and Speaking. If you got 2 times B1 and 1 A2..then you get B1. But if you get 2 A2 then 1 B1, then you get only A2...So you must pass for B1. Then you have your B1 Certificate.
By me I was taking my B1, last 2009..so I do not know maybe they have some new topic about.
Please if you need more information. Just try to go to Volkshochschule.
I hope, I have help you..! Machts gut!
By the way im also a Pinay..here in NRW...

Hello, are most of the german courses from VHS (a1-b1) taught in English (or German)???

Hallo Ms Immanuel,

it's focus in German language. Must have a Dictionary for translation.
I hope I have help you.


Best regards,

Ms Immanuel

I'm currently on b1 and I find it totally annoying but my lehrerin is just the sweetest cutie and makes learning fun. The language tests are pretty basic really. You just need to really listen @ hören section...the one time play gets tricky!
For those looking to do nursing I would say get your b1 and 2 done then head over to the arbeitsamt of the city u live in, they will help u a lot better.
Oh and thanks for the b1test tips!!!

Hi Ms.
How much it cost to study for B1 german language?

This thread has been inactive since 2015 - I think you are unlikely to get a reply from the original posters.
To learn German to B1 level costs mostly time and effort. The price of classes and books varies from school to school. Usually those offered by the Goethe Institute are best value for money:

This is a bit nonsensical! B1 is not easy except for people who have been living a while in Germany. And one needs to specify if a cost is for the exam and/or for classes. All will depend on where it is done; which country and which institute. Most of the posters on this thread are Filipinos so the cost of something in Sri Lanka is likely irrelevant to them...

As of December 2021 in Osnabrück, Niedersachsen: €750, that is 3 modules over 3-4 months @ €250 per module. Hopefully this helps.

Original post is from 2014 so not much sense in replying to it now.
