What's Included in the B1 Course

B1 Exam Curriculum

Full coverage of the Goethe-B1 and telc-B1 formats — identical section types, mark schemes, and time constraints as the real exam.

Daily Speaking Drills

Sprechen is where most students lose marks at B1. Structured partner sessions, opinion expressions, and role-plays in every class.

Multiple Mock Exams

3–4 full timed mock papers with detailed written feedback on every answer — so you enter the exam having already practised under real conditions.

Schreiben Coaching

The B1 writing section (formal letters, emails) is heavily weighted. Bobby marks your writing drafts with written corrections and model answers.

Taught by a Germany Graduate

Bobby holds an MBA from a German university and spent nearly a decade in Germany. B1 is the level he uses in daily life — you learn from someone who has lived it.

WhatsApp Doubt Support

B1 grammar is complex. Bobby responds to WhatsApp questions the same day, Mon–Sat — no question goes unanswered between classes.

Your B1 Journey

A structured 4–6 month path to B1 — from grammar foundations to mock exams and exam-day confidence.

Months 1–2 — Grammar & Vocabulary

Subjunctive II (Konjunktiv II), passive voice, relative clauses, indirect questions, Konjunktionen, and the B1 vocabulary range. Listening to native-speed audio from day one.

Months 3–4 — Exam Skills & First Mock

B1 reading strategies, formal letter and email writing with Bobby's corrections, structured Sprechen practice. First full mock exam with detailed section-by-section feedback.

Months 5–6 — Intensive Mock & Final Prep

Two further timed mock exams, targeted weak-area revision based on mock results, exam-day strategy session. By now you have done the exam 3 times in practice.

Yes — B1 is the minimum German language requirement for German citizenship (Einbürgerung). A Goethe-B1 or telc-B1 certificate is the standard accepted proof. The German Nationality Act (Staatsangehörigkeitsgesetz) sets B1 as the benchmark.
Mock results are a diagnostic tool, not a verdict. Bobby analyses every lost mark section-by-section and the next set of classes targets exactly those weak areas. Most students improve significantly from their first to their third mock exam.
You can join B1 directly if you already have solid A2-level German. Bobby will assess your current level in the free call. If you're not yet at A2, we will recommend the right starting level so you progress steadily without gaps.
