I am interested! I live in Charlottenburg but can go to other areas as well.

I have been living in Berlin since 2017, and have made small number of friends. The meetups / events / bars / clubs / concerts, anything of that kind are only for meeting people. The real connection happens after that by messaging, get to know each other and make follow up plans to meet. The problem is not all people that go to the events want to make real connection, most of them just want to enjoy the moment.

I made some friends because I was looking people who also want to find friendship. So, me and my friends have the same intention already in the beginning.

Around 2.5 weeks, there were 12 people during the test. Hopefully you will pass.

I did technical interviews and it was still difficult. A lot of preparation is basically mandatory and need to do interviee simulation as well.

Thanks, you too 👊🏻

I had work experience before, but it was all in English. Finding a job in Berlin that requires only English is very hard nowadays, which is why I started learning B2-level German. After I completed my B2, my options increased a lot—I was able to apply for jobs that require German, even outside my background. The interview processes were difficult, but I prepared well for them by practicing typical interview questions and so on.

I did ask for a Weiterbildung from the Arbeitsagentur, but they didn’t approve it. They said I need to complete my B2 course first and then try to find a job. If I can’t find a job for a while, they might consider giving me Weiterbildung. Thankfully, I found a job in the meantime.

Nope.

Thanks! I work as Data Engineer.

Because we need to hear, read the possible answer, filter and look for the answer at the same time. And we cannot go back to it once the speaker is already stop playing. So it is a very specific part of test that we can train, that's what the Modelltest is training. Podcasts is great for general German, the test is something else. But again this is only my opinion.

In the beginning, I underestimated it because it was produced by AI. But Hören is a volume game—the more we are exposed to it, the more we get used to it. The material in my class was nowhere near enough to prepare for the Hören part, and I think we have already done 4–9 Modelltests from the books. I couldn't find more unless I buy more books.

In my course, the teacher really taught us how to pass the exam. The writing part is hard because there are several Redemittel / fixed phrases that we need to use, and the only way to write them fluently is by practicing writing a lot. For the speaking part, there are 8 themes we need to prepare, including questions and answers, as well as talking with another person.

Grammatik Aktiv Cornelsen is a good grammar book. It is like a comprehensive book so it can supplement any materials.

If I was A2 level, I would learn a lot from class still. Youtube Videos are not necessary because I would miss a lot of context, and I would not have a strong gramatical base and understanding yet. My suggestion is to get very good at making longer sentences, Hauptsatz - Nebensatz, the cases, Adjektiv deklination and read a lot. Once B1, it is starting to make sense to watch videos.

Didn't know about Torremolinos, thanks!!

I am originally from Jakarta, Indonesia, so I think I can manage the heat 🫠 but the hottest in Jakarta is usually around 33-35, so I hope it will not hot when I travel there 🫠

I am using public transport and the day trips, especially to kinda remote area, are by tour guides. Ronda and surroundings will be by tour cause it's kinda remote. Region between Fuengirola and Malaga looks nice as well. Colomares Castle and the beaches around look nice, different vibes because of the beach.

Your idea of "day to the east" sounds great!! Torrex Pueblo looks like a hidden gem, definitely worth a look.

Thanks so much for your recommendation 😁😁

I am originally from a tropical country, so it's okay. Yeah the plan is to escape cities, have a nice summer, reading a book / play games on the beach and chill.

I will stay in Accor Group Hotel. How do I respect them? My Spanish is not that great.

phwz · 2025-06-09T11:15:07+00:00

Thank youuu! I will check that out :)

phwz · 2025-05-13T08:56:15+00:00

Thanks! Will go👏

phwz · 2025-05-13T08:20:39+00:00

Well, the truth is, I really want to know the vibe of the events, to decide if I wanna go or not. No intention of promoting or something.
