Vorprobe

Practise your German B1 speaking exam before exam day.

You get a task like Part 2 of the exam and speak for 60 to 90 seconds. Then you read which points of the task you actually covered, where the mistakes were, and how the same content sounds at B1 level. Tasks and criteria follow the structure of Goethe B1 and DTZ.

The points of the task

  • Your own experience (covered)ich kaufe oft im Internet ein
  • The situation in your home country (covered)In meine Heimatland war das anders
  • Advantages and disadvantages (covered)Die Preise sind im Internet oft billiger
  • Your opinion (missing)

What went well

  • Du sprichst drei von vier Punkten der Aufgabe an.
  • „weil“, „aber“ und „trotzdem“ verbinden deine Sätze.

What to improve

  1. In meine Heimatland → In meinem Heimatland
    Why: Nach „in“ brauchst du hier den Dativ: in meinem Heimatland.
  2. Meistens Kleidung und ähm Bücher. → Meistens kaufe ich Kleidung und Bücher.
    Why: Dein Satz braucht ein Verb, sonst klingt er wie eine Liste.

What you can't hear yourself

  • 3 times „ähm“ or „äh“.

How it could sound

Ich kaufe oft im Internet ein, meistens Kleidung und Bücher, weil ich wenig Zeit habe. In meinem Heimatland war das anders: dort gehen die Leute lieber in die Geschäfte. Online sind die Preise oft billiger und man spart Zeit. Ein Nachteil ist, dass man die Sachen vorher nicht anfassen kann und die Qualität manchmal nicht stimmt. Meiner Meinung nach ist beides gut: Kleidung kaufe ich lieber im Laden, alles andere bestelle ich online.

Example (German). Your feedback is about your own sentences.

Speak for about 60–90 seconds. Hold the button while you talk. (Part 2 – present a topic: "Shopping online". Cover your own experience, the situation in your home country, advantages and disadvantages, your opinion. Going through all four points is exactly what the exam scores.)

Nobody but you sees your recording – we delete it right after the feedback. You may also make an example up. See the available attempts below.

Questions

Is this a real exam?

No. This is practice. You are talking to an AI. The feedback is not a grade and not a certificate. Vorprobe is not connected to the Goethe-Institut, telc or the BAMF.

What happens to my recording?

We use it only for your feedback, then delete it straight away. The servers are in the EU. Nobody but you sees your answer.

How often can I practise?

Free, with no sign-up. The record button shows how many attempts your network has left today. The limit resets automatically the next day.
