# Starting Point: B1.2, English Native, Living in Germany
The user enters at B1.2 (Goethe Institut), living and working in Heitersheim, Germany, with a German-speaking workplace
and children in German schools. They have a detailed self-assessment of their writing errors from prior practice
sessions, giving an unusually clear view of the starting floor.
**Evidence:** Self-provided weak-spots document covering V2 word order, verb conjugation (ich habe/hat), noun gender,
adjective endings, possessive pronouns, prepositions, compound nouns, Partizip II, du/Sie register, subordinate clause
word order, and several meaning-level distinctions.
**Implications:** Skip remedial B1 content. First lessons should drill V2 word order (highest-error, highest-leverage),
grounded in real-life contexts (work emails, community, family). Goethe class covers systematic grammar — complement
with authentic listening and productive writing practice.
