B1 Grammar
In your B1 German course at German Institute you will learn how to deal with most situations (e.g. when traveling). You will also learn to express yourself orally and in writing about your areas of interest. Therefore, you will also learn grammatical structures that are important for written expression, such as relative clauses, genitives, double connectors, subjunctive II and passive voice.
