This seems like the best board to ask about languages, so I'll just shoot.

I'm supposed to learn German to B2 level, in one year, so that I can start going to university in Germany or Austria.

Unfortunately I started the "A1.1" course at this "school" since I thought "cool, I can learn the basics really well and shit", and only later have I found out that not only they split their A level courses into to, but apparently they split their B courses into 5!! (B1.1 B1.2 B1.3... and note that each of those lasts 3 fucking months) I don't even want to know about the C levels...

Now after having lost 3 months (I have only finished a half of an A1 course, hence A1.1), is B2 doable in a 10 months span or so in a normal language school that doesn't try to milk all of my money like the aforementioned one? (I also study a lot at home and have basically taught myself most of the things we did at the course before it even started)

What do you suggest? Is going abroad to Germany for ex. and spending some time in their language schools learning German a good idea?

It's always better to be in the country your are learning the language of i'd say.
As a German i can also tell that you will be able to get by with English until you learned the language, at least in the major cities.

I have a friend from Finland here who didn't speak a word of german when she arrived. Took her about 10 months i'd say to really speak well, but i don't know if she went to some fancy language school

Micheal Thomas (all levels) + 1960s Assimil (not the new one) will get you to B2 in 6 months
