From A1 to C2 — SPEAKING EXAM PRACTICE

A level-by-level overview of the German speaking exam, the five-year story split into its own tab for every level, a large bank of exam-style questions and model answers organized by CEFR level and built around a real profile — name, nickname, hometown, mother tongue, profession, employer, hobbies, and permanent address — a picture-description round (the "Bildkarte" image task examiners actually use), a comprehension quiz, a microphone speaking quiz that checks your spoken German, free speaking prompts for every level, and a before/after recorder.

GERMAN VOICE

The Six Levels, at a Glance

Every major provider (Goethe-Institut, telc, ÖSD) tests Sprechen in about three parts per level. Difficulty, topic abstraction, and how much you're expected to argue rather than describe all rise together.

The Story — One Act per Level

Two characters: Narrator and Rafiqul — Md Rafiqul Islam, an Accounting Manager at S. R. Engineering Firm in Dhaka, Bangladesh, moving from A1 to C2 over five years. The story is split into six short acts, one per CEFR level, so you only read the language you're actually working on. Tap a level tab, then read the German aloud and check the English gloss below it. Tap 🔊 to hear the whole line with word-by-word highlighting, or tap any single word to hear it and see its meaning.

Sample Questions & Answers, by Level

Questions at each level, each with a model answer built from Rafiqul's real profile — full name, nickname, hometown, mother tongue, languages, current and past profession, hobbies, and permanent address. Work with a partner — one plays Prüfer/in (examiner), one plays Rafiqul — then swap. Tap a level to open it, tap any line to hear it read aloud.

Bildbeschreibung — Picture Description

This is the visual part of the real exam: a "Bildkarte" (picture card) you have to describe on the spot, or two photos you must compare and react to. There's no camera roll here, so each task uses a simple drawn scene instead of a photo — the skill you practice (naming what you see, giving your opinion about it, comparing two images) is exactly what examiners test at each level. Tap 🔊 to hear the prompt, then describe the image aloud in full German sentences.

Comprehension Quiz

Questions about the story and the exam format itself. Choose the correct option.

Speaking Quiz — Answer Out Loud

Each question appears in German, with the English translation right below it. Press the microphone and say the model answer in German. Your device checks what it heard and marks it correct or wrong instantly. This round covers every question from the Q&A bank above, across all six levels, shuffled.

Free Speaking Practice

Two prompts per level. Tap a prompt to hear it read aloud, then answer in full German sentences, in your own words, at the complexity that level expects.

Record Yourself — Before & After

Pick any prompt above and record yourself answering it now — that's your "Before." Practice it a few times, then record it again as your "After." Play both back and listen for the difference.
