Lebensstationen

At B1 you don’t just list facts about yourself — you tell a story: where you grew up, when you moved, what you learned. Learn the milestones with article and plural:

• die Kindheit (childhood), die Jugend (youth)
• der Umzug (die Umzüge) — the move; the verb is umziehen
• die Ausbildung, -en — vocational training
• der Abschluss (die Abschlüsse) — degree, diploma
• die Erfahrung, -en — experience

Two verbs that go with them: die Kindheit verbringen (to spend your childhood) and Erfahrungen sammeln (to gain experience).
