Deepen your German language knowledge with a B2 Course
If you're ready to learn at the B2 level, we don't need to tell you how to learn a language, you've been working hard at it already! It's time to expand your vocabulary, work a little harder at complex subjects and tackle real-world scenarios that will help your confidence grow.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to understand complex texts, spontaneously interact with native speakers with relative ease, produce detailed texts on a wide range of subjects and write and explain your viewpoints. When you learn with Lingoda we'll challenge you with comprehensive reading, writing and listening exercises, all the while our native-level teacher will be there to give you personalized feedback in real-time.

B2 Level German Overview
When you’ve completed the B2 level German course you will be able to confidently:
Understand the main points of complex texts on both concrete and abstract topics
Understand in depth, complicated discussions on areas of your specialization (for example conversations with colleagues
Engage in spontaneous conversations with native-level speakers without having to search for words
Express opinions and engage in dialogue on a wide range of topics, with clear and detailed responses
Explain a viewpoint on a current issue and evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of a situation
B2 German Course: General Topics and the Lingoda Method
In the German B2 course you will cover topics such as: cultural differences in interpersonal relationships and the working world, German history and politics etc. In addition, you will study grammar topics such as "causal and consecutive clauses: weil, denn, deshalb, so...dass", use of the conditional and the Konjunktiv I.
To ensure a proper, step-by-step mix of all these topics, the Lingoda Method is ideal: We offer comprehensive online classes that focus on more than just grammar and vocabulary. We want you to feel confident using your skills in real-life settings. In classes of up to five, you'll practice talking to improve your pronunciation and fluency. Customized feedback from our native-level teachers helps you learn from your mistakes, as well as listening to the mistakes of others.
Another specialist feature of our program is the rotation of our teachers. You'll be training your ear to listen to different accents, intonation and more, so that when you start practicing in the real world, you'll be ready for different voices.
More than anything, we focus on flexibility. We know that life is busy, and sitting down at the same time each week might not work for you - so you are totally in control of your schedule. You can book classes based on your availability, with access to lessons whenever suits you.
Choose the right Frequency in your B2 German Course
Learning a language is an amazing habit. For this reason, it is essential to maintain the right motivation and to choose the frequency and intensity of the lessons. You might be looking for a high-frequency course with a specific goal in mind, in which case you should look into our Sprint or Super Sprint course, or you might have a long term goal of fluency in mind.
Whatever you're after, at Lingoda we can support you along the way. You can choose how often you want to learn and at what pace. Once you become a student with us, you can access the course materials on the platform whenever you like, with homework, annotated PDFs from teachers and blogs with additional learning tips.

Frequently asked questions
Our courses are broken down and categorized using the CEFR. CEFR stands for the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. This is an internationally recognized standard that helps classify levels of fluency. It starts at A1, considered the beginner level and moves through to C1 for advanced. A B2 level German speaker is considered an Upper-Intermediate language speaker.
When you take a Lingoda course, we incorporate every aspect of language learning into the lesson plan. You’ll practice speaking, reading, listening and writing. As part of the Lingoda Method we also tackle real-life scenarios. This is so you can start putting what you’ve learned to good use immediately. With our lessons, we want you to feel confident asking questions and putting your new skills to good use between sessions.
If you’re looking at a German B2 online course you’re already quite advanced. At Lingoda we offer learning plans that cater to every level, from beginner to advanced. Because we structure our lessons according to CEFR you can be sure we’ve got a course that challenges you, but doesn’t overwhelm you.
Once you register as a Lingoda student you can take our CEFR test to see which course is right for you. And don’t worry, if you’ve signed up for a Sprint or Super Sprint course, you can change the level if you find it’s too easy or too challenging and this won’t affect your cashback eligibility.
At Lingoda, we want to make language learning accessible to everyone, so we have courses that suit every level, moving from A1 beginners right through to C1, which is considered an advanced level.

This is entirely up to you. Because Lingoda is completely flexible, with lessons available for you morning, noon and night, you’re completely in charge of setting your own pace. You decide how many classes you want to take a week, and that can change depending on your commitments.
All courses at Lingoda have 50 lessons to complete. You can choose whether you take one class a week over twelve months. Or commitment to an intensive program like our Sprint or Super Sprint. When you join a Sprint you commit to learning a certain number of classes over 2 months. If you succeed and attend every class, you can get up to 50% cashback, meaning you’ve not just learned a language, you’ve got a lump sum to say well done!
Yes you will! As you progress through each CEFR level you’ll receive a certificate to track your progress. CEFR is an internationally recognized standard, so employers and educational establishments will acknowledge the achievement.
