For iPhone and Android · 7 days of Pro free
Pass German B1.
With a plan all the way to exam day.
Pick your exam and your date. The app tells you exactly what to listen to, read, write and say every day — and an AI examiner trains you for the speaking test.
Free for iPhone and Android.
Too many tips. No plan.
Ask “how do I reach B1?” and you get a list:
- Watch Easy German on YouTube
- Learn vocabulary every day
- Do practice tests
- Find a language partner
- Listen to German podcasts
All true — but what exactly do you do today? And is it enough before your exam date? That is what the app answers.
How it works
- 1
Placement test in 10 minutes
A short test with listening, reading and one speaking task. You find out where you are: A1, A2 or almost B1.
- 2
Pick your exam and date
DTZ, telc B1 or Goethe B1 — and when. You see right away how many minutes a day you need (e.g. 8, 12 or 16 weeks).
- 3
A clear list every day
Today: 10 min listening, 1 writing task, 5 min speaking, 20 words. Everything inside the app, no hunting for material. Rest days stay free.
- 4
Mock exams that adjust the plan
A mock exam in the real format every few weeks. Whatever is not solid yet goes back into your plan — until you are ready.
The speaking test — part by part
This is where many people fall short: in the 2024 DTZ, 44% did not reach B1. So the app trains exactly these three parts:
Part 1 · Introduce yourself
Name, family, work, where you live — plus the examiner’s follow-up questions.
Part 2 · Talk about experiences
Describe a picture and talk about yourself (DTZ/telc), or give a short presentation (Goethe).
Part 3 · Plan something together
Suggest, agree, disagree, decide. The AI plays your exam partner.
