B1

After completing the B1 level, students can understand the main points of discussions and texts on familiar matters regularly encountered at work, school, leisure, etc. They can deal with most situations likely to arise while traveling in an area where the language is spoken. Students will be able to produce simple connected text on topics which are familiar or of personal interest and can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes and ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.

The Goethe-Institut in Washington offers several courses at the B1 level, including the three progressively structured sub-levels, Intermediate German B1.1, B1.2 and B1.3. Due to the number of students at this level, we are not always able to offer all sub-levels every session.
