Vocabulary training B2 I Learning German for work

Hello and welcome. Let's practice some adjectives on the C1 level today. Let's go! First, let's take the word decisive today. As always, I'll give you an example and you think about what that could mean. Which criteria are decisive when choosing candidates? Think about it for five seconds. Decisive means central, decisive, particularly important for a result, for a decision. That means, which criteria are particularly important when choosing candidates? And decisive is practically a synonym on the C1 level. I can also say, for example, the price was decisive for us choosing this offer. So the price played the most important role, was central to the decision. Or good communication is decisive for successful teamwork. So it's decisive, central, very important. Now let's take the adjective that the participants of my conversation course like very much on the C1 level, and that is unbiased. I'll give you another example. The device works flawlessly. There are no interruptions. What does flawless mean? Flawless usually means perfect, without errors, without problems, just perfect. And you can always use that in this meaning. So something works flawlessly. So there are no problems at all. Everything works as it should. You can also ask a colleague, for example, How do you like my presentation? And he says, flawless. That means everything is great, everything is perfect. Great, I like everything very much. You can also say, for example, His behavior was flawless. That means his behavior was perfect. For example, in relation to a child or something. We now take the adjective multifaceted. I'll give you another example. The topic of artificial intelligence is very multifaceted and affects many areas. What could multifaceted mean? Faceted usually means very multifaceted, with many pages, maybe opinions, perspectives, aspects. That means the topic of artificial intelligence is very multifaceted. I can give you another example. Berlin is a very multifaceted city with a lot of different people. So the city is very multifaceted. Now let's take an adjective that you've probably heard quite often, namely explicit. I'll give you another example. In the e-mail it was explicitly mentioned that the meeting will take place online. What could explicit mean? Explicit means direct, clear and clear. So it was clearly communicated that the meeting will not take place offline, but online. I can give you another example. Also from the professional context, maybe. The boss explicitly said that punctuality is very important. So it was directly communicated that her punctuality is very important. So this punctuality of the employees, so to speak. So explicit, direct, clear. Next, let's look at the adjective comprehensive. What does that mean? I'll give you another example from the professional context. The report gave a comprehensive overview of the project. What could that mean? In most cases, comprehensive means very extensive, but also complete with many aspects. So it covers everything. So the report was really complete, extensive. It showed us everything again. You can also say, we recently received a comprehensive training on the topic of data protection. That means we received an extensive, very large training and thus we have basically continued. By the way, our new B2 course, B2 profession is already in the works. So it's going to be a brand new and completely digital course. We've never had anything like this before. And if you are interested, you are very welcome to sign up for the waiting list in this video description. Next, let's look at the adjective trustworthy. And I'll give you an example that I've heard very often during my studies. And that is, only trustworthy sources should be used in research. What could be trustworthy? This word means that something is serious. So credible. You can really trust it, believe it, whatever. That means the sources should be serious. Not just any article from the Internet, but maybe really from a research institute or a serious magazine or whatever. Or another example from the business context. Our customers appreciate us because we are trustworthy. That means you can trust us because we keep our promises, for example, because we are always there for our customers and so on. So we are trustworthy. Now we take an adjective that is a little negative or a little more. But that's part of it too. And you should also master something like that. And that is repulsive. I'll give you an example. His behavior or his impolite behavior was really repulsive. What could that mean? So repulsive actually means really very unpleasant. Sometimes even morally unacceptable or something. That means his behavior was very unpleasant. Maybe he was very impolite. Maybe he used swear words or whatever. Maybe he just swore and so on. So very repulsive. But you can also use this word in the direct sense. For example, I find this smell repulsive. That means it smells very unpleasant to me. But you can also say, for example, most people find lies and arrogance repulsive. So very unpleasant, unacceptable. You don't want to have anything to do with it. Next, let's look at an adjective that you can use in a German exam or simply in the professional context. And that is differentiated. First, another example. We should look at the topic differentiated. Not just black and white. Think about it for a moment. So differentiated means with many nuances, details, subtleties and differences. Not just black and white, bad or good, but really differentiated with all the details. For example, in the field of German learning, differentiated feedback helps the most when learning. That means not just feedback like, okay, you did well. But really, what did you do well? What didn't go so well? And how can you continue to work on it? Or also in the professional context. Your analysis was really differentiated and covered all sides. Or covered all sides. So differentiated with many details, nuances and not just good or bad. And last but not least, let's take the adjective elaborate today. I'll give you another example. The new design was very elaborate to create. Think about it for a moment. Elaborate means connected with a lot of effort. Normally, something takes a lot of time, effort, maybe also money, and takes time. So the design was not at all so easy to create and cost us a lot of effort, maybe also a lot of money, a lot of time and so on. You can also say, the report was very elaborate, but the result was worth it. So it wasn't easy, but the result was worth it. You can also use it in the private context. For example, planning a wedding is really elaborate. So it's connected with so many aspects, costs so much time, energy, money and so on. So it's not without. So, and now it's your turn. You know, practice makes perfect. I'm going to leave you a little exercise now and you should fill in the gaps with the adjectives we talked about today.
