B1 is the first level of the 'independent user' in the CEFR. You understand the main points when people speak clearly about work, school, leisure and familiar topics, you can manage most situations when travelling, and you can write simple connected texts and describe experiences, hopes and plans with short reasons.
B1 is the goal of the integration course and is generally needed for permanent settlement and naturalisation (check the current rules for your case). Certificates include the Goethe-Zertifikat B1, telc Deutsch B1 and the Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer (DTZ). Most learners need around 150 to 250 hours after A2; one lesson a day plus practice takes about two to three months.
Finished all 30 lessons? Check yourself with the B2 test and continue with the B2 lessons: job interviews, contracts, arguments, the news and formal writing.
