Hi everyone,
I took my telc Deutsch B1 exam on June 28th, 2026, at Domino-Zentrum in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
They told me that the results would take around 4–6 weeks, but it has now been more than 7 weeks and I still haven’t received anything by email.
Has anyone else taken the telc B1 exam around the same date and already received their results?
How long did you have to wait?
Thanks
Hallo Leute. I'm wondering what others would do in my situation.
I started learning German a few years ago simply because the German-speaking world is a never-ending source of fascination for me. I love German writers, music, and just the general culture. I've visited a few times, and these visits have just confirmed my interest.
Learning German for me is, in other words, just a hobby. I do not need to pass a language exam for work, or to emigrate, or anything like that. But somewhere along the way, I decided I would take learning the language seriously, and after taking various online placement tests, I decided I would take the Goethe B1 Exam.
To that end, I've been working on the language in the usual ways and I've taken a number of practice tests. I source these practice tests from the Hueber Zertifikat B1 Neu book. Grading the lesen and hören portions of the practice tests is a straightforward matter of checking the answer key. For the schreiben part, I have mainly been giving Claude the prompts, writing my answers, and asking Claude to grade my responses. I've supplemented this with various online test prep tools that allow one to practice writing (e.g., Lingviko, Deutsch Fox, etc.). For sprechen, I have been using a combination of apps like Lingviko, Issen, and Langua Talk.
So far, I've taken about 7+ practice exams, and I am getting remarkably consistent results every time:
All of this gets me to the question I'm hoping some of you may have some feedback on. I could keep working on my German for another year or something and increase these schreiben and sprechen scores, but I really don't feel like doing that. I kind of just want to go ahead and take this test. If you were me, would you go ahead and take the exam if you thought you would pass with a mediocre score or would you delay and keep working in the hopes of getting a better score later?
The next exam in my city is towards the end of October so I've got some time to think about it. Thank you in advance!
Next week we I am buying a present for you , so i am doing the verb to the present and you are receiving the results of that verb.
So that makes "I" the Nominative, and "present" the Accusative , and "you" the Dativ .
Alright so the sentence would be, (Nächste Woche wollen kaufen ich für dich ein Geschenk)
And yet i managed to get it wrong.

Hey!
I've been wondering if anyone knows of any useful resources for learning noun genders along with new vocabulary?
I'm thinking something very simple, like going over a few words, assigning correct die der das, that being on a rotation for a bit and then expanding on new words.
But if anyone wants to share any other ways or methods of learning genders, I would be very happy to see anyways.
I'm Czech, so there's a double issue where a noun can be male in Czech and female in German and it's wrecking my head.
I should also say that I'm practicing with Duolingo mainly.
Hello, anyone took the Telc German B1 exam in July 2026 (July 04) and received the results/yet to receive the result?
I am still waiting for the result and this is 7th week post exam.
Thanks for the collaboration.

Hey guys... I'm from Bangladesh. I’m looking for other learners who are also actively looking for people to study german with. I have a lot of trouble in learning german and i would like to be involved with people who are learning to and share knowledge with others about the language.
I have been self learning German for a while now. I have seen numerous takes revolving Duolingo as a learning tool. When starting out I was all over the place searching free online tools.I started straight out on Duolingo. Yes! lots and lots of repetition. I learned Milch oder Kaffee before I understood German noun rules.I felt frustrated and broke my streak.I found out later about structured learning necessity for everyone foreign language beginner. So I stuck with one YouTube tutor through the structured courses. But I have no class, no study group,no buddy no workbooks and I'm a working adult. So most days, I'm either tired, unmotivated or just busy to learn something new. On these days, that's where Duolingo works for me.The repetition, the leagues competition, the small notes on the side and the explain my mistake features. They take me a long way.I'll do a lesson in a public transport,around idle chatter,etc.I'll play with words I don't understand on Duolingo and when I encounter them on my structured learning the sinking understanding hits different. Since my only immersion is German podcasts and music, I'm going to stick with Duolingo for now.
So I kinda need to get to B2 lvl in 8 months, and Im basically like a newborn child to german language.
first of all, do you think that it's reachable with 4-6 hours of training daily? and after that what do you think is the best tip that you have for learning german.
I do 2 Nicos Weg episodes a day but I learn a lot more words in those episodes than I do when reviewing anki cards (15 new words a day). At this rate, I’ll finish the episodes before I review all the cards, so should I just up the number of words I learn or something?
Hello, I need a conversation partner, we can text and have the occassional voice call if needed.
I am currently at A2 / B1 level.
Discord would be preferable.
Hey everyone,
I’ll be moving to Germany in about two months to start my Master’s, and I’m looking for someone to learn German with.
I’m an absolute beginner, so I’m starting pretty much from zero. I’d like to get a decent basic understanding of German before I move and make things a little easier once I’m there.
My schedule is quite open at the moment, and I’d prefer studying sometime in the afternoon EEST, but I’m flexible about the exact time.
We can figure out what works for us. Maybe follow a course together, practice vocabulary and speaking, or just hop on a call and study at the same time. I’m pretty open to whatever works.
It would also be cool to meet someone who is moving to Germany soon, but that’s definitely not a requirement.
If you’re looking for someone to learn German with as well, feel free to DM me. Tell me a little about yourself and we can see if we’re a good fit.
i’m starting from scratch and thought it’d be more fun to learn with someone! we can keep each other accountable, share resources, practice together, and track our progress :')) if you’re also learning German (or planning to start), feel free to message me! let's gooo
Eddited Expectations - 18.08.2026 - 21:38/Berlin, *Check below*
Hello everyone! 👋
First of all, a huge thank you for the overwhelming response! With over 200 messages and more than 150 forms filled out, I'm genuinely blown away by your interest!
Since I've received so many different messages and questions over the last few days, I want to take a moment to clear up a few expectations before we officially launch. It's really important to me that we are all on the same page from day one! 😊
*What this community IS:
A safe space to practice: A judgment-free environment where you can speak and write German without fear of making mistakes, refine your skills, and connect with fellow learners.
Mutual support: We are building a supportive community where everyone helps, motivates, and learns from one another.
Professional guidance: Whenever my Master’s schedule allows, I’ll send out tasks, correct your texts, share tips & tricks, and keep an eye on the group chats to fix recurring mistakes.
Speaking sessions: Whenever time permits, I aim to organize weekly voice sessions so you get real speaking practice.
*What this community IS NOT:
Not an intensive or structured course: This group cannot and will not replace a modular language course or private tutoring. With my full-time studies starting, I simply don't have the time for that level of instruction.
Not 24/7 instant support: Please keep in mind that I won't always be able to reply immediately or correct every text right away. I'll jump in whenever my study load permits!
Even though my direct tutoring won't be high-intensity, I am 100% confident that the sense of belonging, collaboration, and mutual support in this group will boost your motivation tremendously! 🚀
I’m super excited about this journey and can't wait to support you along the way.
I’ll be sending out the WhatsApp Community invitation links very soon!

Is anyone interested ?
I recently passed my A1. Now i am doing self study for A2, For that I am looking for a person who is currently the same level.
Goal is to talk to each other everyday to absorb the german language and correct eachothers while we make mistakes.
Topics we can decide on the way.
Just comment
Yo!
I’m currently learning German and I’d really love to meet some German-speaking people who are open to chatting and becoming friends. I’m mainly looking for people around my age, but I’m open to talking to anyone who’s friendly and genuinely interested in cultural exchange.
I’d like to practice my German through normal conversations rather than only studying from textbooks. I’m still learning, so my German isn’t great yet, but I’m trying to improve consistently. 😭💅
Apart from language practice, I’m also really curious about Germany itself student life, university culture, everyday life, Ausbildung vs. university, how things actually work there, etc. Basically, I want to hear about Germany from someone who actually lives there rather than just relying on Instagram or random websites.
I’m also interested in Mechanical Engineering and the broader tech/engineering field, so if you’re studying or working in mechanical engineering, robotics, mechatronics, automotive, manufacturing, or a similar field, that would be an amazing bonus. I’d love to hear about your experience, universities, career opportunities, and what the engineering industry is like in Germany.
I’m happy to exchange cultures too! We can talk about India, Germany, languages, engineering, anime, random life stuff literally anything. 😭
If you’re interested, feel free to DM me. :)
Danke fürs Lesen! 🇩🇪🫶
Hi everyone!
I’ve finally decided to seriously start my German-learning journey. I currently live in Ingolstadt, and I’m basically at zero level right now.
My initial goal is to reach A2 within the next 3 months. I know many people in this group have already gone through this stage, so I’d really appreciate some guidance from those who have experience.
There are tons of resources, courses, apps, YouTube channels, books, and different learning methods online—and honestly, I’m already getting super confused about where to start. 😅
So I’m looking for a practical, complete roadmap, especially:
Where should I start from absolute zero?
Which books/resources/apps are actually worth using?
Should I take a course or self-study?
What would be an effective daily study routine?
What are the best ways to practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing?
If you’ve reached A2 yourself, what would you do differently if you had to start again?
If anyone can share their A1 to A2 roadmap, resources, or personal experience, I’d be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance! 🙏
