German B1 — Visa Ready

About German B1

B1 is the level most healthcare and Ausbildung visa applications require. Students learn to understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters, deal with most situations while travelling, and produce simple connected text on familiar topics — preparing directly for the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam.
