AI feedback
Like a tutor who checks every answer
Writing and speaking give 21 of the 30 points, and they are the parts you cannot check with an answer key. Our AI reads your message or listens to your recording and shows you in seconds what an examiner would notice.
Writing feedback for Schreiben Teil 4
Type your message, or take a photo of your handwritten page, just like in the exam. The AI checks the four required points, the greeting, the closing and the tone, and every language mistake.
- Each mistake shown with the whole sentence corrected
- An improved version of your message
- Your estimated points out of 6
- Wrote it by hand? Take a photo instead of typing
Speaking feedback for Teil 5, 6 and 7
Answer out loud, as in the exam, and record up to 10 minutes. The AI writes down what you said, checks which questions you answered and rates your pronunciation and fluency.
- A transcript of your answer with corrections
- Pronunciation and fluency
- Your estimated points for each part
- Photo tasks and discussions like in the real test
Mock exams with an estimated result
Ten full mock exams with the real timers, speaking included: you record Teil 5, 6 and 7. When you finish, reading is scored at once and the AI checks your message and your recordings by itself.
- An estimated total out of 30 and whether you would pass
- Points and feedback for every part
A study assistant on every page
Select any German word or sentence and click "Explain". The assistant explains meaning and grammar in English, German or Turkish, and answers questions about the test and your task.
- Grammar, forms and example sentences
- Listen to German words and texts
AI feedback is practice feedback and can make mistakes. Points are estimates, not official results.

Everything you need to know about the test
Clear, up-to-date explanations of every part of the Sprachtest zur Einbürgerung, based on the official Berlin VHS material.
Exam overview
The exam
The Sprachtest zur Einbürgerung is a short German test at level B1 for people who want to become German citizens in Berlin. This guide explains each part, how points work and how to prepare.
Section guide
Reading (Lesen)
The reading part takes 30 minutes and gives 9 points. Here you learn the three task types, how to use your time and how to find the right answer quickly.
Section guide
Writing (Schreiben)
In the writing part you write a short message in 20 minutes. If you answer all four content points clearly, you are already on a good path to 6 points.
Section guide
Speaking (Sprechen)
The speaking test is a 15-minute individual interview and gives half of all points. With good preparation, many people find it the easiest part to plan for.
Practice test

The Berlin VHS publishes a free model test. Done under real time limits, it is one of the best ways to see where you stand before test day.

Comparison
Einbürgerungstest vs. Sprachtest
The names sound almost the same, but they are two different tests. For naturalization you usually need both: proof of B1 German and proof of knowledge about life in Germany.
Vocabulary
B1 vocabulary
The texts and tasks in the test are about everyday life. These word lists and phrases cover the most common topics, with English meanings.
