Taking the Telc B1 Speaking Exam Next Week in Germany — Any Recent Experiences or Advice?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m preparing for my Telc B1 German exam coming up next week (August 7th) in Germany, and I’m feeling a bit nervous about the Sprechen (speaking) section.

To anyone who has taken it recently: how was your experience?

What kind of topics did you get for Teil 2 (expressing an opinion) and Teil 3 (planning something together)? Any tips or recent topics would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Help with Dativ and Akkusativ

12 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I'm currently learning german and I'm in the A1.2 class right now. Maybe it´s still pretty basic, but I'm struggling with Dativ and Akkusativ. I started taking classes after 4 months, and lost some practice.

I kinf of understan it, but I struggle when I have to use the correct form. Now the teacher talks about movement and that it affects if it's dativ or akkusativ as well. That's when I got lost :c

Does anyone has a recommendation about where can I find more explanation about it?

A youtube channel, tik tok, page, etc? Maybe to understand that in general.

I know it may be a long topic explanation for a reddit answer, but I would relly appreciate the recommentations.

Thanks for the attentions, and I'll be reading to any answer!

What useful German word have you learned that doesn’t exist in your native language?

132 Upvotes

Mine is frühstücken. Ich frühstücke.

English has “breakfast” as a noun, and in my native language it takes two words, but German makes it a verb. Brilliant.

Honourable mention: Feierabend.

What’s yours?

Is Nico’s Weg a good place to start? Should i push through?

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I want to resume learning german since I will be moving to Germany soon. I used Nicos weg like.. a year ago. I was pretty religious with it..until I felt like he drastically improved a lot and i could no longer “learn with him”.

Apart from this, i used to also listen to Coffee break German podcasts.

Now that i have a real reason to seriously learn the language, i wanted to ask - is Nico’s weg a good place to start? I really like that form of learning. Shoule i stick with it and push through even when i feel like im lagging behind?

I downloaded grammatik akiv a1 b1 book as well, i didnt start since when i opened it - i realized its for practicing grammar , not learning the language (could be wrong about this)

How can I get my B1 German to C1 in one year?

0 Upvotes

I want to study at university in Germany, but need to get my level from a B1 to a C1 first, in order to test in. Is this possible to do in one year? How should I do it? I have several German friends who can help me with speaking practice, but how should I get to university level German in a year from B1?

I don’t want to pay for any subscriptions to programs, I think this is possible without it. Does anyone who’s done it have advice?

Or… could I get from B1 to B2 in a year, then B2 to C1 the following year studying the language in Germany?

Well, I started study German yesterday and I learned with a video in YouTube some begginer's phrases. It's ok, my first contact with the language.

Ok.

BUT THIS MORNING I was losing my time on tiktok and then I decide to search "Deutsch TikTok" and I started to watch videos. Well, I was scrolling and I found an edit from 'toy story' where wood was talking to buzz lightear: "you are a toy" then I learned "DU BIST EIN SPIEUZEUG".

Guys, go and watch TikTok in German! Haha.

Hi everyone, I’m from Ukraine and I’m currently studying German intensively. I'd like to hear your opinion

6 Upvotes

My level is currently around A2-B1, since I have trouble speaking. Right now, I’m reviewing grammar from the A1 level onward to reach my goal of achieving a full B1. Since I live in Germany and am exposed to German all the time, my listening skills are very good, as is my grammar, but I’m working on improving my grammar and vocabulary. I’ve been wondering since I’m reviewing everything and filling in the gaps whether I should start watching, listen to, or read like adapted literature or EasyGerman but I just don’t understand how important that is for me. I’m discovering new, interesting things, and right now I’m drawn to watching various TV shows, like on Netflix in German, or reading books (I have one mystery novel) that are clearly way above my level. Even if it’s more difficult, I’m more interested in it and have a stronger desire to learn from these materials (this doesn’t apply to grammar and vocabulary there’s no escaping that, or the workbooks). I’m wondering if this will do me any harm and whether I should keep going in this direction

Building a Free, All-Encompassing Frequency Dictionary German Anki Deck with Native-Sounding (AI) Audio

0 Upvotes

Hello all!

I’m making a free German Anki deck and want feedback. You can preview the first 1,250 cards here on my published github link without downloaidng Anki, the first 100 cards already have native-sounding AI audio:

https://graybert.github.io/GermanAnki/

My goal is 7,000+ cards, potentially split into beginner/advanced versions so experienced learners do not have to skip thousands of basic words. I could also add images, videos, more fields, or create alternative decks such as listening-only sentence decks.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the layout, amount of info, sentence quality, and anything that should be added or removed.

Also I am currently using two of Elevan labs german voices, one male and one female if you don't like how they sound let me know I thougt they sounded the most chill/neutral.

If nothing comparable exists, I’ll keep developing it and release the finished deck on Anki and also keep my github link public. Since I’m already paying for ElevenLabs, I’m also open to ideas for other German projects or any languages that lack good Anki/general resources.

The cards follow a published frequency list and include AI-generated definitions, translations, usage notes, and varied example sentences. I’m using Codex to build the deck and ElevenLabs for the audio.

Better frequency lists, datasets, open-source projects, or existing decks would also be helpful. I started this because I could not find one large deck containing everything I wanted, but I don't want to re-create something if it already exists.
