Goethe B2 Listening Part 3: Identifying Speakers
Updated: 23 September 2026 · Checked against official exam sources
In the adult model set, Listening Part 3 is a multi-speaker radio discussion; match six statements to speakers after one play.
A way to approach it
Before listening, mark each person’s role and the distinctive claim in each statement. Keep brief notes per speaker.
Final check
A statement matching the topic is not enough: verify who actually voiced that view.
Practise with the official sample
Take the relevant part of the Goethe-Institut adult model set to its official time. Use the key for Reading and Listening and the published criteria for Writing and Speaking. In your next attempt, measure whether the same error recurs.
