Move beyond everyday German and develop the vocabulary, style and register needed for professional and academic communication.
German Vocabulary Builder B2.1: Competencies (Deutscher Wortschatztrainer B2.1: Kompetenzen) is Book 8 in the series and your first step into B2. It builds on Books 1-7 and shifts the focus to choosing the right style for the situation.
Learn 930+ words across business, economics, finance, science, technology, education, health, law, statistics, presentations, specialist language and formal argumentation.
Vocabulary is taught in context with pronunciation support, word families and collocations, so you learn how professional German actually uses each expression.
What Makes This Level Different?At B2.1, the focus is style and register. You already know relative clauses, Präteritum, Plusquamperfekt, Konjunktiv II and the passive. Now you learn how formal German packages ideas differently from everyday speech.
Verbal: Weil die Preise steigen, sinkt die Nachfrage.
Nominal: Wegen des Preisanstiegs sinkt die Nachfrage.
Both express the same idea. This book teaches you to move confidently between them.
Master the Core B2.1 Systems- Full passive: modal passive, subjectless passive, Zustandspassiv and bekommen-passive
- Passive alternatives: man, sich lassen, sein + zu and -bar adjectives
- Nominalstil: unpack formal prose and convert plain clauses into formal nominal style
- Two-part connectors: nicht nur ... sondern auch, sowohl ... als auch, entweder ... oder, weder ... noch, je ... desto
- Argumentation: present a position, concede, rebut, support claims and draw conclusions
- Collocations: learn fixed word-partnerships that make advanced German sound natural
The 20 chapters progress through the economy, companies, modern work, science, innovation, finance, education, medicine, law, argumentation, presentations, statistics, opinion, specialist language and summarising.
Practise expressions such as Ma nahmen ergreifen, eine Hypothese aufstellen, Daten auswerten, eine Position vertreten and eine Schlussfolgerung ziehen-the combinations expected in formal German.
Word Formation That Multiplies VocabularySee how professional German grows from predictable patterns. Explore feminine suffixes such as -ung, -heit, -keit, -igkeit, -ität, -schaft and -tion, plus compound families such as Wirtschafts-, Bildungs-, Gesundheits- and Fach-.
A Structured Learning System- Interlinear thematic introductions with English support
- German-only rereading and natural English translations
- Vocabulary tables with pronunciation and examples
- Word formation and focused grammar or style guidance
- Context texts, exercises and memory strategies
- Self-assessment and complete answer keys
This book begins the B2 stage and supports preparation for Goethe-Zertifikat B2, telc Deutsch B2 and TestDaF TDN 3. Books 8-9 together complete the B2 pathway.
By the end, you will be better equipped to understand official prose, write formal reports, describe data, summarise texts, present arguments and control register across professional and academic situations.
Your German is no longer just correct. It becomes precise, flexible and professional.
Build the competencies that turn B1 knowledge into confident B2 expression.
