As a sweetener to the ever-increasing levies, we have some novelties designed to simplify and improve our lives.
But let’s start with the bad this time.
What’s new in Germany 2025. Finance
The traditional column: how much more we will pay in the coming year. The main changes occurred in the previous reporting period, so in 2025, we will primarily be dealing with letting the dust settle.
Let’s start with the good news. We will still get something, but the amounts are small and completely eaten up by the price increase.
German B2 topics to discuss. Telc B2 Allgemein, Goethe B2
I decided to collect all the German B2 topics to discuss in one place. These could be tasks for written expression of opinion (Forumsbeitrag) in Goethe B2, oral discussions in Goethe B2 or Telc B2 Allgemein. Analysis of the topics shows that these are always some problematic themes taken from the news. That is, if you regularly look at the news, you can make a list of possible topics for yourself.
C1 level is indicated because some topics can be used in both places, there is no unambiguous assignment of certain topics to a certain level, you can simply complicate/simplify the task. C1 tends to cover a broader topic and to more “acute” problems.
The topic is in the process of being written. Last updated – 22.12.2024
What is Antolin

Special schools and inclusion for kids with speech delay in Germany
In Germany, there are different forms of education for kids with speech delay and speech development problems. These can be pure special schools for children with speech problems, general special schools for children with special needs, and inclusion (education in regular classes). In each specific federal state, this can be only one of the options or a combination of them.
In this post I will explain why these special schools for kids with speech delay are nothing to be afraid of, what is good about them, how they differ from regular schools and inclusion and where to find them in different federal states in Germany.
German B2 level tests
We are starting to collect topics for the German B2 test. First, let’s see what requirements are set by the organizations that conduct these tests. Today, most people take Telc B2 + Beruf (after the courses paid for by Arbeitsamt), much less often Telc B2 Allgemein and Goethe B2. Each of the tests has its pros and cons.
The topic is being updated. (UPD 11.10)
