Foreword

This list contains the vocabulary for the Zertifikat B1 German exam. It is an excerpt from
the publication Zertifikat B1, Deutschprüfung für Jugendliche und Erwachsene,
Prüfungsziele Testbeschreibung, published by Hueber Verlag 2013.

This exam was developed jointly by the Goethe-Institut, the University of

Fribourg/Switzerland and the ÖSD and is offered worldwide under the names Goethe-
Zertifikat B1 and ÖSD-Zertifikat B1. The B1 certificate documents the third level - B1 - of the
six-level competence scale described in the Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages. Level B indicates the ability to master the language independently.

The word list is intended as information and reference for all interested parties. It
provides an overview of the level of B1 and the Zertifikat B1 exam. This list is less suitable
for practicing and consolidating vocabulary.
To acquire the language skills at level B1, it is recommended to attend a language course
and to use didactically designed teaching material.

The vocabulary on which the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 is based comprises around 2,400 lexical
units that German learners at level B1 should know. It can be used for both the youth exam
and the adult exam. Which words and expressions appear in an examination set depends,
among other things, on the content and topics of the respective tasks. Examinees are
expected to have at least a receptive command of the vocabulary presented here, i.e., they
are expected to understand them when working on the written texts. There are words within
the listening and reading texts that are not included in this vocabulary list. These are not
necessary for understanding and completing the task.

The selection criterion for the compilation was the relevance of a word in
e v e r y d a y , contemporary use of the German language, especially in the private
and p u b l i c spheres, but also in work, school and training.

 WORD LIST

Some frequent thematic groups such as numbers, currencies, countries, etc. have been
prefixed to the alphabetical list as a word group list. These also include technical words
that are essential for understanding the instructions in the examination tasks,
z. e.g. answer sheets and solutions. Each entry appears either in one of the word groups or
in the alphabetical list.

We refrained from including composites that can be made accessible, such as crib, except
when the composition of the terms gives a new meaning, as in the case of the word
kindergarten.

Nouns that can be derived from verbs, e.g. the printer from print or with known prefixes or
suffixes, e.g. the classmate, the payment, are not mentioned separately. In the case of verbs,
composites that are derived from prefixes,
z. e.g. join, take away are not listed separately if they can be tapped.
The example sentences illustrate typical usage contexts and the different meaning(s) of
the entries.

The present alphabetically listed vocabulary does not claim to be a

lexicographically arranged list in the strict sense.
Secondary entries are derivatives of a word and are indented.

start, begins, 1. when do you start working? started

has started 2. this is where the Bahnhofstraße begins.

the beginning, ¨-e 1. how was the movie? - I have only

seen the beginning.
2. In the beginning, I asked a lot of
questions at work.
3. My boss is in his early fifties.
4. My mother was against me moving
to Berlin from the beginning.
5. We go on vacation at the beginning of July.
6. My girlfriend lives at the beginning
of the street.

in the beginning In the beginning everything went well.

Like the entire test, this vocabulary is also based on the pluricentric approach.
Thus, the three standard varieties of German are included. This means that in
addition to German expressions (D), relevant standard language variants from
Austria (A) and Switzerland (CH) are also taken into account.

If different standard variants of a word or lexical unit are in use in Germany,

Austria or Switzerland, these are considered as separate entries in the word list,
but always with a reference to the other variants:

park, parked, parked, 1. you are not allowed to park

here. parked (D, A) 2. parking is prohibited here.
→ CH: park

park, parked, 1. you are not allowed

to park here, park.
has parked (CH) 2. here is the parking
→ D, A: parking forbidden.

the stairs, -n (D, CH) 1. where is the toilet? - The

→ A: Stairs Up stairs and then left.
2. my grandma is not good at
climbing stairs.

staircase, -n (A) 1. where is the toilet? - the

→ D, CH: Stairs Stairs up and then left.
2. my grandma is not good at
climbing stairs.

We wish you much success in preparing for the exam!
