German Course B1 with Exam Preparation

The B1 German course is the most important stage in your learning journey. At this level, you strengthen all the essential foundations needed for higher courses (B2, C1, C2): sentence structure, verb tenses, and the correct use of articles and adjectives. After this course, tricky forms like der, dem, des or seinem, Ihren feel much more natural — and speaking German becomes easier, more fluent, and far more enjoyable.

Our course teaches you all the content of levels B1.1 and B1.2 in a structured and practical way. You train reading, listening, writing, and speaking at a more advanced level – with topics from everyday life, work, education, public authorities, and society. This helps you develop a clear, confident, and self-assured way of expressing yourself in all important areas of life.

At the beginning, we balance out different levels of prior knowledge and specifically close any gaps from A1 and A2. In the language lab, you refine your pronunciation and listening comprehension – individually supervised and supported by technology. The course prepares you thoroughly for the ÖIF Integration Exam B1, which is required for permanent residency or citizenship.
