What B1 Sprechen does differently
- 01
The real exam room
Two examiners, a partner as the second candidate – and you. First the preparation (Goethe 15 min, telc 20 min), then all three parts in the exam’s order and timing. One simulation is a whole exam.
- 02
Real feedback
The AI partner listens live, makes its own suggestions, responds to yours and plans with you. Afterwards the notes quote your own sentences, with timestamps – one click plays the moment. Instead of a grade: evidence and what to practise next.
- 03
Only B1 speaking
Not a platform for everything: only the B1 speaking exam. Goethe and telc each in their own format, with five task sets per exam.
