Questions learners ask
Is the placement test an official certificate?
No. It is orientation for choosing a course. Visa authorities accept only recognised exam certificates, for example from the Goethe-Institut, telc or ÖSD.
See the spouse-visa guideAre you affiliated with the Goethe-Institut, telc or BAMF?
No. The practice follows their published task formats.
How long does it take to reach B1?
The state integration course plans 600 teaching hours of German to take a beginner to B1 (§ 11 IntV), and in 2024 about 59 % of test sittings in the general integration course reached B1 (BAMF). Your pace depends on your hours per week and your prior languages.
Which level do I need for my visa?
It depends on the visa. The guides list the level and the legal basis for each route.
Open the guidesCan I practise speaking without a teacher?
Yes, with the exam practice and the simulator. The AI feedback is orientation, not an exam result.
Can I do this next to a full-time job?
Yes. Each exam task takes a few minutes and nothing is scheduled, so you practise when it suits you.
Why not just watch free videos?
Videos do not make you speak. The speaking module of the exam needs you to answer out loud and get feedback, and that is what the practice gives you.
Is it free?
Right now, yes. A daily usage limit applies; if you reach it, try again the next day.
