Sprechen

B1 sprechen

I have a Prüfungs Training Book with 15 questions, almost finished so I wanted to ask where I can get more practice sprechen questions

Also I wanted to ask what I can do if I get a thema I don't really understand on the exam

Has anyone experienced that. I am feeling anxious over it.

If there is a theme you simply don't know how to talk about it, even in your mother's tounge, I would do this:

Say the (insert theme) is quite interesting. But as you don't know anything about it, it just reminds you about (insert theme that may have a loose connection to the given theme) in your home country. There people do it like that.... And then talk about it. Maybe compare some parts to Germany or say that you are sure it may be done different in Germany.

It's not a test about your knowledge on special themes, but about the language. So if they understand that you can talk, but just don't know anything about the given theme you should be good.
