Let's Talk German With Eden 🇩🇪
🎙️ Let’s Talk German is the podcast for expats in Germany who understand a lot of German — but still feel stuck when it’s time to actually speak.
If you’ve ever frozen mid-sentence, nodded politely even when you had something to say, or felt “less than” just because your German isn’t perfect — you’re not alone. This space is for you. 🚀
Hey, I’m Eden — your host.
I moved from the Philippines to Germany for love (yep, that kind of story 😅), and what started as a challenge to learn German became a full-blown transformation. I went from Level Zero to C2, became a German Integration Teacher and Certified Language Assessor — and now I help other expats find their voice in German.
Because here’s the truth:
You deserve to be heard — in any language.
You deserve to express your ideas, show your strengths, and stop feeling like a second-class version of yourself just because German isn’t your first language.
This podcast is all about:
🚀 Ditching the fear and finally speaking up
🎯 Learning how to really connect in German — not just translate in your head
✨ Understanding how language + culture work together
💬 Moving from passive understanding to confident conversations
I’ll share speaking tips, mindset shifts, cultural insights, and stories from my own journey — the wins and the wobbles — so you can build real fluency with less pressure and more power.
🎙️ Let’s Talk German with Eden is your high-vibe, no-shame space to grow your voice, boost your confidence, and finally feel at home in your German-speaking life. Because If I could do it — so can you.
Let’s go. 🚀✨

Episode 3: What B1 Really Means (From a Language Assessor’s Perspective)
In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of language assessment. As a certified language assessor, I’ll show you what we actually look for when we decide whether someone is truly at B1 level — and here’s a reality check: it’s not just about grammar and vocabulary.
⚠️ Attention: A part of this episode is in German. 🇩🇪
Here's what we look for at B1:
✔️ Can you speak fluently in everyday situations without long pauses?
✔️ Can you respond to questions and keep a conversation going?
✔️ Can you talk about familiar topics like work, hobbies, or your weekend without building the sentence in your head first?
✔️ Can you give your opinion and simple reasons?
✔️ Can you handle typical life tasks like phone calls, appointments, or customer conversations?
💬 B1 means you can manage life in German — not perfectly, but confidently enough to get through most real-life conversations.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ The key B1 indicators we look for as language assessors
✅ Everyday speaking tasks that show whether you’re really B1
✅ Common struggles B1 speakers still face — like reacting quickly or finding the right words under pressure
✅ Simple, practical speaking activities you can use every day to keep improving
💥 These small daily moments are what push you to the next level.
