In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of language assessment. As a certified language assessor, I’ll show you what we actually look for when we decide whether someone is truly at B1 level — and here’s a reality check: it’s not just about grammar and vocabulary.

⚠️ Attention: A part of this episode is in German. 🇩🇪

Here's what we look for at B1:
✔️ Can you speak fluently in everyday situations without long pauses?
✔️ Can you respond to questions and keep a conversation going?
✔️ Can you talk about familiar topics like work, hobbies, or your weekend without building the sentence in your head first?
✔️ Can you give your opinion and simple reasons?
✔️ Can you handle typical life tasks like phone calls, appointments, or customer conversations?

💬 B1 means you can manage life in German — not perfectly, but confidently enough to get through most real-life conversations.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ The key B1 indicators we look for as language assessors
✅ Everyday speaking tasks that show whether you’re really B1
✅ Common struggles B1 speakers still face — like reacting quickly or finding the right words under pressure
✅ Simple, practical speaking activities you can use every day to keep improving

💥 These small daily moments are what push you to the next level.
