🥨 Oktoberfest: the most important things about the festival

🍺 In the capital of the glorious Bavaria, the Oktoberfest (only in a non-standard format), a festival of beer and joy, is in full swing. Strange, isn't it, September isn't over yet and the festival is called October? However, with Germans, as we know, everything is logical, including holidays.

👰🤵 It is October that is listed in the name, as the very first festival took place on October 12, 1810 at the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig (future King Ludwig I) and Princess Theresa of Saxony-Hildburghaus.

🎉 What is a fest? It is commonly believed (and any dictionary will confirm it) that das Fest is a holiday. But we remember that the German language is variegated and multifaceted. Fest is not just a celebration, but a feast to which all are invited. Different regions of Germany have such events, they are also called Volksfeste, which means folk festivals.

🎅 Christmas in Germany

🌝 In ancient times, pagan tribes celebrated the winter solstice day, which fell on December 21.

🌔 Before the advent of Christianity, many Germanic peoples worshipped a pantheon of gods, meaning they were pagans. The pagan holiday was called Julfest. People rejoiced that the daylight hours were now getting longer and longer. Today, the word "Jul" in some Scandinavian languages means "Christmas."

In 45 BC the new Julian calendar was introduced. According to this calendar, the winter solstice day was moved to December 25.

⛪️ In the 3rd century A.D. a Christian church was founded that forbade the pagan holiday, but this custom was already deeply rooted in society. According to the decision of the church, December 25 began to celebrate the birth of Christ.

🌲Already in those days, people decorated their homes in anticipation of the holiday with fir branches. Evergreen branches symbolized fertility and vitality.

🎄The traditions of celebration changed over time. Since the mid-18th century, a decorated Christmas tree is placed in living rooms. Christmas becomes a family holiday for which it is customary to stay home and spend time with loved ones.

🚩 It is important to note that no matter how customs change, Christmas always remains the main holiday for Germans.

🤔🙄 What you need to pass B1 and B2

1️⃣ Learn and know many words.

The assignments are specifically designed so that if you read the text generally and miss minor words, you will definitely get it wrong. Or by some miracle you'll guess the correct answers. But it's more likely to be the former.

For the Lesen part, of course, there are some tips, but mostly it lies on your strategy. But without a broad vocabulary it's all useless. The more words you know, the calmer and easier the Reading part goes.

Now for the strategy:

2️⃣ Have a clear strategy for solving the Lesen part.

The opposite principle also applies: if you have a broad vocabulary but no strategy, you can fail Lesen - trivially because you don't have enough time.

Strategy is a clear understanding of how to make the best use of the allocated timing. So that on the exam everything goes on automatic, and there won't be no fussy action. There is already stress, and any fuss can be very costly.

What you need to know for yourself:

- How do I do on part.
- How I'm solving them.
- What I pay attention to.
- How much time I can allocate for each of the parts.

And so on.

A ready-made strategy will save nerves and give you confidence in your abilities.

3️⃣ Have writing and speaking blanks.

You may be surprised, but Schreiben and Sprechen are the easiest parts. You can prepare for them at home, and the grades for them are often higher than for "Lesen" and "Hören".

You can use the so-called "skeletons" - universal blanks that you can learn by heart, and at the exam just to substitute them.

In my experience, speaking is a bit of theater. You need to PROMOTE to the examiners that you have the information required for B1/B2. Even if you never use it in your life, it doesn't matter. Unexpressed expertise = Disqualification.

So make sure you study the criteria so you know exactly what they want you to do. And show the examiners what they want to see/hear.

🔥 That's some advice. If you get any more ideas, I'll be sure to share them!

Schönen Tag noch! Have a nice day! 😊
