How do I pass German B1 while Having a 12-hour Full-time Job?
This sounds incredibly insane. I passed the German B1 test this March. The reason why I couldn’t believe is that I work almost 12 hours a day. By the time I got home, I am exhausted. The only thing I would like to do is falling asleep right away. There is no time for studying or reviewing. Then how can I still make it?
A Little About My Background
I work in a public relations agency in Taiwan and my client is one of the biggest luxury auto manufacturers in Germany and worldwide. The pandemic wasn’t too serious in Taiwan in H2 2020, so there were a lot of press events and activities. It was very “normal” that I worked 12 hours a day or even later. I started my German online courses in July 2020 and planned to take the Goethe Institut B1 test in March 2021. And yes, I passed, in 8 months.
I have learned German in college for 3 years. According to the course structure, I was supposed to have a B1 level when I finished the 3-year study. However, due to various reasons, I can barely read and write German, not to mention speaking fluently. Improving German has always been on my to-do list.
