ZDj

ZDj stands for Zertifikat Deutsch für Jugendliche. It is set at the B1 level on the European scale of language learning and is aimed at young people between 12 and 15 years of age who are learning German as a foreign language.

Participants should be able to talk about things that interest them, eg. a television programme, and also be able to go into a shop and buy something without any great difficulty.

The certificate may be useful for teenagers moving permanently to Germany with their parents to be able to gain entry to a German school.

To hear a simple explanation and a short discussion in German, listen to the podcast:

    As far as I know there are no prior language skills required before entering a German Grundschule or Gymnasium. I know of a few students who arrived here in Germany without any German knowledge whatsoever, and they were admitted.

    This certificate is more useful when moving back back to one’s home country. This certificate might help the student to get into a foreign language high school, e.g. in Korea or just to score some extra for entering the very competitive school market in Asia.

    Before a child is allowed to enter Grundschule (Primary school), they have to see the school doctor. They have to draw shapes, recognise pictures and are also tested on basic language skills in the process.

    If the German language skills are not sufficient, the doctor may recommend them to have extra German tuition before they can start school.

    Surely a Gymnasium (Grammar School) tests their pupils before they start, at least on their subjects? Without sufficient German skills, how do they take the test?
