TestDaF preparation: practise German reading and vocabulary
TestDaF preparation combines language development with practice for your chosen test format. Reading and listening in context can support that preparation; they do not cover every assessed skill.
Follow an argument in German
In a passage, identify the claim, its reason and a limitation. Connecting words such as “allerdings”, “daher” and “während” help you understand how the author’s ideas relate.
Keep useful phrases with their grammatical patterns: “sich auf etwas beziehen” or “zu einem Ergebnis kommen”. Knowing the preposition is part of knowing the expression.
Separate benefit and limitation
Read this original practice sentence and explain both sides of the statement. Use it for language work, not as a prediction of official tasks.
