How it works

Deutschtrainer isn’t a course you work through from page one. Everything is set by the exam you booked: the format, the level and the pass mark.

Four stepsAny exam, A1 to C2No timer when you practiseGraded like the real exam

Four steps, then the certificate.

Deutschtrainer is built around a date in your calendar. Everything you do works back from the morning you sit the exam.

Choose the exam, the level and, if you have one, the exam date. That choice sets the format of every task you see.

Full practice papers with no timer, and two-minute drills for busy days. Pause and come back whenever you like.

Each answer is marked and explained in your mother language, and your readiness per skill updates as you go.

The complete exam under real timing, section by section, until every skill sits above the pass mark.

Exam, level and date aren’t profile settings. They decide the format of every task, the pass mark you’re graded against and how much time you have.

Goethe, telc, ÖSD or DSH. Each has its own parts, instructions and scoring, so Deutschtrainer keeps a separate task format for each one.

Sets the format

Not the level you feel you’re at, but the one your certificate asks for. B1 for residence, B2 for recognition, C1 or DSH-2 for university.

Sets the target

Thirty-eight days is a different situation from four months. Knowing the date tells you how much time each weak skill still gets.

Sets the pace

Choose the exam and level and leave the date empty. You get the same tasks and the same feedback. Add the date once you’ve booked.

There’s no fixed curriculum to get through. You practise the parts of the exam that are still below the line.

The weak skill gets the timeYour readiness shows which skill is furthest from the pass mark, so you know where the next session should go.
Every mistake is explainedCorrections name the rule behind the mistake, in your mother language, so you stop making it.
Words come from your own tasksWords you look up and save end up in your diary, with the sentence you met them in.
