grabe kudos ate! I want to move to Germany next year, so I’m treating my German lessons like a part-time job and not taking freelance clients
Very inspiring to hear about your journey
Tara na lumipat na tayo!!! 🤣 Thank you beh, ilaban mo aralin yung German kasi pagdating mo dun tapos maiintindihan mo lahat ng nasa paligid mo, parang a whole new world ang saya! Challenge pa rin makipagusap with a native speaker pero malayo layo na rin so aral lang tayoooo 💕
Hallo, I‘m also learning german almost a year but still stuck in A2 level. I’m really inspired and motivated by your videos. I want to move to Germany to work or study there, but the main goal is to travel there. Thank you for your videos they make my plans more clear and I know what to do now🫶🏻
Don't give up. The crawl is long, that steep climb from a2 to b1, then crossing the mountain ranges from B1 to B2... (I'm trying to swim the ocean to get to c1 from b2 😂🤣🥲) Just keep doing something everyday, you can do it!!!
Congratulations on clearing B2 exam.I can relate to your story as i am also learning it with a full time job ans obviously I am mostly struggling with learning the new words.Hope you will post a video on your learning methods for vocabulary.
Thank you! You know what, I relate to your issue. I feel that vocabulary words is really needed to improve how easily you can express yourself. I'll try to work on this one, I am struggling with this too...
Sehr wertvolles Video danke sehr für Ihre Mühe ♥
Thank you Dedan 🤩🤩🤩
I love your way and you are really awesome, thank you 🤗🥰
Thank you! 🥹
What books do you recommend for learning german a1 level?
I have been living in Germany for about 4.5 years and speak enough German to get by but only at a low level. Initially I was taking course at a language school but stopped after B1 for a 'short break' that ended up being several years...😅 One reason was that this was during the COVID lockdowns but also just laziness. Since Christmas, I have been self-learning using online resources and courses which should put me at a B2 level. I tried the Goethe B2 practice test though (with he intention of doing the actual exam soon) and boy was it difficult! I did manage to (barely) pass it but it was a bit of a reality check because a lot of words I didn't know so some answers were educated guess. I really need to increase my vocabulary before taking the test, I think. So well done on passing your test, it is a great achievement because they really make the questions difficult! Thanks for the insight into your journey and good luck with the Fachsprachprüfung 😇
First of all, I love this long story!!!! You are right, there are a lot of vocabulary words to learn for the B2 exam. But go through the review books I mentioned on this video: th-cam.com/video/WDtqTiEMChE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ktMH-eKciRV7l1hZ
I just learned most of the B2 words for the exam from those books. Just make sure you jot them down... I am lazy at reading and jotting down new words so I need to work on it too to keep expanding my vocabulary.
Hi i cleared my b2 exam except Reading module . could u suggest some German novels/books of b2 level available online, which could be bought?+ tipps for Reading module
The reading module was my lowest yet during the review, I was confident I could nail it. I did not get to finish the reading review book I was using then since I got complacent. I only used the reading materials mentioned on this video: th-cam.com/video/WDtqTiEMChE/w-d-xo.html
Hello, ask ko lang po, very helpful ba for you si Andreas ng verbling?
Yes po. I see him more of a coach and a speaking partner. I do most of the self study and he just tells me which to work on, then we talk about other things. I ask him questions that I find difficult on my self study.
@@francesremo Every twice or thrice a week po ba yung schedule mo sa kanya before? Pasensya na po interested lang po ako in learning deutsch.
Once a week lang kami lagi beh. Parang may times na magchichikahan lang kami, may times na structured. Sabihin mo talaga sa kanya anong gusto mo maaccomplish para gawan ka nya ng list ng dapat ayusin tsaka nagbibigay ng resources yun!
Wag ka magsorry, sama sama tayo dito mag-aral ng German, magtulungan na lang tayo 💕
@@francesremo Thank you very much, helpful din saken 'tong mga informations from you, lagi kita inaabangan para makakuha pa ko ng mga tips. Thank you very much ulit🙂☺
Hala thank you babes!!! 🩷🩷🩷 Ang hirap mag-aral, kasi sa atin din manggagaling yung effort eh, pero pag may nag-aabang ng videos, parang nagiging hobby lang magshare. Gagalingan ko mag-edit para makapagpublish ng videos 🥹
thank you very much for all your help
I am now at a level A2 and I want to pass B1 in the future my question about vocabulary if you could help me please about the important vocabulary that must be memorized in order to pass B1 without problems
i wish you all the best and success in your life
I just made sure I know all the words on the Goethe Zertifikat wortliste A1-B1, here's the B1 list I used: www.goethe.de/pro/relaunch/prf/en/Goethe-Zertifikat_B1_Wortliste.pdf
@@francesremo thank you for the reply and the list it will be very helpful for me
i just want to know if someone should know all the wortliste or just the important words
It won't hurt if you know all the words. The more you know, the closer you are to fluency
@@francesremo yes you are right
thank you for the advice i wish you all the best
