01Listening comprehension (Κατανόηση προφορικού λόγου) - Ellinomatheia B1
The B1 listening paper (Κατανόηση προφορικού λόγου) checks whether you can follow standard Modern Greek at close to natural speed on everyday topics: transport announcements, phone messages, service encounters, short dialogues and radio items. At B1 the recordings are longer than at A2 and the items ask for inference - what a speaker intends, decides or feels - not just for literal wording.
441 words, about 2 min02Reading comprehension (Κατανόηση γραπτού λόγου) - Ellinomatheia B1
The B1 reading paper (Κατανόηση γραπτού λόγου) tests whether you can handle authentic-style Greek texts that a resident meets in daily life - signs, notices, advertisements, messages, schedules - plus one or two longer informative or opinion texts. The level is defined by what you must do with the text: locate detail, follow an argument, and infer meaning from context, not by how literary the text is.
415 words, about 2 min03Written production and interaction (Παραγωγή γραπτού λόγου και διαμεσολάβηση) - Ellinomatheia B1
Written production at B1 is functional: you write because a person needs information, an invitation, an opinion or a complaint. Candidates lose most marks here for reasons unrelated to vocabulary - an unanswered prompt point, a mixed register, or missing accents.
463 words, about 2 min04Oral production and interaction (Παραγωγή προφορικού λόγου) - Ellinomatheia B1
The oral exam is a short live interview with one or two examiners, and it is the section where B1 candidates most often underperform their real level, because they answer instead of talking. It normally has three movements: warm-up questions about yourself, description of a picture or picture story, a role-play, and a short discussion of an opinion or topic.
423 words, about 2 min05Language awareness: grammar and vocabulary (Γλωσσική επίγνωση) - Ellinomatheia B1
Language awareness is the discrete-item section of the B1 exam: short, controlled items - multiple choice, gap-fill, matching, transformation - inside single sentences or a short continuous text. It tests whether you control the structures that B1 writing and speaking need, above all verbal aspect, and whether your vocabulary extends beyond concrete nouns into collocations, derivatives and fixed phrases.
