CELGA 2 (Galician B1) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Download the official 'modelos de exame' for CELGA 2 from lingua.gal — they are the most reliable source for understanding authentic text length, question style, and vocabulary level at B1 Galician.

2Master the imperfect/preterite contrast early: 'cando era neno, xogaba' (habitual — imperfect) vs. 'onte xoguei ao fútbol' (completed event — preterite). This contrast appears in every reading and listening text at B1.

3Practise Galician contractions systematically: a+o=ao, a+a=á, en+o=no, en+a=na, con+o=co, con+a=coa, por+o=polo, de+o=do, etc. Failing to use contractions is one of the most common B1 writing errors.

4Learn the basic present subjunctive for B1: triggered by 'quero que', 'non creo que', 'espero que', 'necesito que'. The endings for regular -ar verbs: -e/-es/-e/-emos/-edes/-en. These appear in CELGA 2 grammar tasks.

5Build B1 reading vocabulary around practical domains: administration (formulario, prazo, solicitante, documentación), health (receita, cita, farmacia, urxencias), transport (billete, retraso, saída, chegada), housing (aluguer, contrato, fianza, ascensor), and work (contrato, nómina, baixa, horario).

6For listening comprehension, practise tracking numbers, times, and prices in Galician audio: these details (timetables, prices, deadlines) are consistently tested in CELGA 2 listening tasks and require careful attention to detail.
