Speaking in connected form
A contribution with introduction, main points and conclusion. Afterwards you hear yourself and see where the thread breaks.
German B2 speaking practice: present, discuss, argue

- Tasks in the style of Goethe, telc and ÖSD.
- Presentation, discussion and exchange of opinions with a voice.
- Evaluation of argumentation, vocabulary, structures and pronunciation.

How you practise
You learn to argue by speaking.
Discussing
The AI partner disagrees and asks follow-up questions. You practise justifying positions and reacting to objections.
Phrases
Expressions for opinion, agreement, disagreement and caution, with exercises on the right register.
Mistake profile
Recurring mistakes are collected. You see the place and the better version and practise it with purpose.
Five tips
How your B2 contribution sounds surer.
- State your opinion early. Say at the start what you are for or against, and give reasons afterwards. That makes you easy to follow.
- Use examples. An example of your own makes an argument concrete and gives you time to think.
- Respond to objections. Pick up the objection (“Das stimmt teilweise, aber …”) before you disagree.
- Vary your phrases. Whoever says “meiner Meinung nach” five times sounds the same. Collect three or four alternatives.
- Listen to the stress. In longer contributions the speed often drops and the melody gets flat. The recording shows whether that happens to you.
