The DTZ B1 exam (“Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer” – German Test for Immigrants) is designed for people living in Germany who want to prove their language skills at level B1. The listening section of the test checks whether you can understand spoken German in everyday situations. To prepare well, it is important to know the structure of the exam and practice regularly with suitable exercises.
The listening part takes about 25 minutes and usually consists of three task types. You will hear conversations, announcements, or public information. The focus is not only on understanding individual words but also on recognizing meaning, context, and speaker intent.
The recordings are played at a normal speaking speed. In most cases, each text is played only once – so active listening is essential.
In one common task, you hear a conversation between a woman and a delivery driver. The woman asks about a missing package; there is an issue with the address, and a new delivery must be arranged. These scenarios require focused listening – not all answers are obvious. Getting used to such situations helps both in the test and in everyday life.
“At first, I missed a lot – especially when people spoke quickly or had an accent. But the practice audios with transcripts helped me train my weak points step by step.”
– Hassan M., course participant in Cologne (VHS, 2024)
A good preparation plan combines different methods. On the platform deutsch-vorbereitung.com, you will find specially designed online exercises for the DTZ listening exam. These materials include realistic audio scenes, helpful explanations, and often a full transcript for self-correction.
This content was created by Olena Bazalukova, a certified German teacher and founder of deutsch-vorbereitung.com. She holds a university degree in German language education and has years of experience preparing learners for language exams. Together with experienced teachers and official test examiners across Germany, she develops practice-oriented learning materials. Her mission is to help people with a migration background become more confident and independent in their language use.
This information is based on the official guidelines of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), as well as feedback from learners and instructors in integration courses. Recommended resources include workbooks from Hueber or Cornelsen publishers, as well as the official model tests provided by BAMF. Many language schools also use digital tools like the online exercises from deutsch-vorbereitung.com, as they can be flexibly used and simulate real-life language situations.
The listening section of the DTZ B1 exam is manageable with regular practice, a good understanding of the exam format, and targeted work on your weak points. With a clear strategy and the right tools, there is nothing standing between you and your B1 certificate.
Anna Chin: „Hello, from August to October I prepared for the B1 exam with Olena. As a result, I passed the exam and received my B1 certificate. I would like to say that the training with Olena gave me more knowledge than the courses, because during those months my listening, reading, and writing skills improved noticeably. Speaking, of course, depends on vocabulary, but we practiced dialogues and naturally spoke more together as well.“
Olya Tereshchenko: „A big thank you to Olena and her website for the excellent preparation for learning the German language and successfully passing the exam!“
QwertyOlga Popkova: „Very good site for preparing for the B1 Beruf exam. I’m really happy to learn here and prepare for the test!“
