B2-Wortschatz-Training I Deutsch lernen b2

To pass a B2 exam or feel confident in a professional setting You absolutely need a few advanced vocabulary words at the B2 level So today we're doing a vocabulary exercise First we take the adjective groundbreaking I'll give you an example sentence The company has developed a groundbreaking technology that saves energy What could groundbreaking mean That means completely new and innovative especially In other words the company has developed a unique new technology one that will essentially transform everything Also in this sense meaning something is particularly new and innovative For example even from research or similar fields Her research findings were so groundbreaking that they earned her multiple awards That means they were truly incredible Also new and will undoubtedly transform much in this field Now we take another very fitting adjective: far-reaching I'll give you an example This government decision could have far-reaching consequences for the economy So what could that mean Extensive always means it involves various possibly different areas industries people and so on—many different aspects involved In such a case far-reaching consequences for the economy So this could potentially affect various industries different companies workers and so on Likewise one could say this invention could bring significant improvements to everyday life By far-reaching improvements we simply mean advancements across various aspects of life Maybe it could make our lives a little easier Now let's look at it precisely That is also a very nice adjective at an advanced level For instance the instructions must be extremely precise so that everyone can understand them What could this mean Also very precise detailed and accurate Also precise means truly very exact so that everyone can understand it Precise sounds much more elegant and refined than very accurate which is exactly right Likewise you could say he created a precise analysis of the problem Extremely accurate and detailed analysis Now we're also taking something very useful and right away For instance the patient had to be operated on immediately What does that mean Immediately means right away without delay He therefore had to undergo surgery immediately Similarly one could say or write for example Please reply to this email immediately It is urgent Reply right away Now let's take a very useful verb: to counteract something For example exercise can counteract back pain What could this possibly mean Counteracting actually means reducing something or perhaps even preventing it altogether—essentially working against a negative trend This means you can reduce your back pain by moving especially with plenty of movement But you can apply this principle in any context For example the government is also trying to counter inflation A separable verb Yes that's why the particle zu is placed in the middle That means the government is trying to take certain measures to reduce inflation And if you're currently preparing linguistically and culturally for job hunting in Germany or for everyday professional life there Then I have some wonderful news—finally you can sign

those who have completed a B2 level But I don't feel confident at all with this professional vocabulary and I have no familiarity whatsoever with work processes in Germany That means if you're currently abroad but know you'll soon be looking for a job in Germany or if you're already searching for a job there this course will be incredibly helpful And even if you're already working in Germany but still often feel overwhelmed whether linguistically culturally or considering a career change this course will definitely help you Yes if you think this course could really help you and you'd like to learn more about the schedule content and pricing just click the link in the video description There you'll find all the information including a video about the platform and more And if you're already in Germany and have an employer we're officially recognized by the state so you can ask them whether they might be willing to cover the course fees for you We're looking forward to seeing you Let's take a very useful verb: to relieve someone in the accusative case What does that mean For instance new staff should help ease the workload of the team To relieve means in essence simply to help by having individuals take on specific tasks or responsibilities so that someone else or a team can manage their workload more easily For instance I can also say that having a household helper would greatly ease my burden That means she could help me greatly as she’d take on tasks like cleaning or cooking freeing up more time for me to focus on other things Now let's take someone who misses something I'll give you a sample sentence from a professional context right away Let's say a colleague tells you she apparently completely missed the fact that the deadline expired yesterday You didn’t seem to notice it at all You apparently missed or forgot the deadline And that's what it means to miss something—either you completely fail to notice it or in the worst case you miss it entirely For instance I was recently at theater and it truly hit me how much people without German language skills are missing out on in Germany That means how much these people miss out on simply because they can't casually go to the cinema or theater thus missing out on a part of life—something truly truly unfortunate That's precisely why I always say you should learn German for the sake of your own quality of life Now let's look at the verb "to diminish " for example in terms of motivation quality strength or anything else For instance his concentration begins to wane if he works too long What could that mean That naturally means less will be produced He will therefore be less focused or for instance demand for the product has significantly declined That means it has decreased significantly Finally today we'll actually address the verb "ansprechen" in the accusative case I recently asked in conversation class: What's the difference between addressing something and discussing it Let me give you an example first Let's say you simply tell a colleague at work Well I think we should finally address this issue openly What could this possibly mean That means we should finally start talking about it bring it up openly actually say out loud what the real problem is That means we only mention the problem We don't go into detail yet but at least we acknowledge that there is an issue That's the difference between discussing something casually and truly delving into the details thoroughly exploring it so to speak I can give you another example Suppose you go to your boss and right at the start of the conversation you say Also I’d like to address something that’s truly important to me —that is I’m going to mention something that’s close to my heart That doesn’t mean we’ll necessarily discuss it but I’d like to share my thoughts To make this video especially effective for you you can now pick two words from the video and write two example sentences in the comments That way you can internalize it and practice right away As always thank you for watching and I wish you great success in your continued German studies We'll see each other again very soon
