A student in a café, and the same student walking into the exam room

Walk into your German exam with no surprises left.

A structured path to your Goethe or telc exam, built around your life.

Story mode

Your life in Germany. Written by you.

A story that remembers your job, your city, your neighbours. Every exercise in it is a real exam task at your level.

Same tasks. Same clock.

You practice the format until it is boring.

Listening at real speed. Reading against the clock. Writing to the word count. Speaking with a partner, as Goethe and telc do it.

Lena, the Lingviko exam tutor, waving hello

Meet Lena, your private tutor.

Every learner is different, so Lena adapts to you: your exam, your level and your exam date. She stays with you all the way to your certificate.

  • Something unclear? Ask her.

    A rule, a word, a sentence, how your exam works. She answers in your language.

  • She makes the exercise

    At your level, built on what you got wrong.

  • She reviews your mistakes

    What cost you points and why, with your own sentences.

  • She picks what's next

    Your next exercise comes from the part of the exam you're weakest in.

An honest score, built like the exam's.

Many practice apps let your number drift up so you keep opening them. Ours moves only when your German does.

41% Example: B1 chance of passing
  • It follows your weakest section, because one weak part can fail the exam.
  • It never rises just because you practiced. More practice pins it down; it does not flatter you.
  • A weak spot counts only after you miss it twice, in two different question types, from a fixed list of 87 grammar topics. No AI decides your result.

Find out today whether you'd pass, and what to fix if you wouldn't.

A break from drills. Not from exam prep.

A life in German: a city, a job, and people who text and call you. Between exam drills, you keep practising the same four skills, at your level, with the grammar you keep missing.

Story mode

Real exam exercises, in disguise.

Four exam skills. One story.

Read and hear the characters' messages, then write or call them. The tasks look like everyday life, but they use the exam's own formats: gap fills, true or false, a letter, a conversation.

I used this platform while preparing for my Goethe-Institut B1 exam, it was exactly what I needed beyond the standard practice tests. It covered all sections thoroughly, and the content was engaging and effective. Thanks to it, I passed my exam. Highly recommended!

I've tested Lingviko for a while now and can honestly say it is a fantastic tool. I am not too good on sentence construction - I still want to write German in an 'English' way - but this makes Satzbau much easier. And the speaking sections - wow - a whole new ball game on conversation. Lingviko is highly recommended ❤️

I love this app! It's made me so much more confident about passing my Goethe-Institut A1 exam. So grateful for all the hard work behind it!

I've been using this app during its development and it has impressively improved. I'm taking the German A1 exam soon and have been using the individual tests to target areas that need improvement. The AI interaction is really impressive and accurate during my use. Hopefully the reactive and questions have a close likeness to the exam. Definitely a valuable asset.

This app is amazing. Whether or not you are preparing for a German proficiency exam, the app is a supremely helpful addition to any online or in person course. Grammar and vocabulary come alive in written and spoken exercises with immediate, real time feedback, fulsome explanations and encouragement.

Rama S. Germany Preparing for A1

I got the opportunity to test and use Lingviko during my German A1 learning. I am already enrolled with "your German teacher" and took the courses there. Was not confident with the speaking and by taking speaking practice tests on Lingviko it made a lot of difference in my confidence levels. These tests are so much interactive with immediate assessment, they truly helped my learning, great job team 👍

Thanks for a tool like this, I made good use of the app during the testing phase, and I was honestly surprised by how helpful it is. The speaking practice is my favourite, it feels realistic and gives me the chance to really practice my speaking. Currently preparing for the Goethe A1 exam, the app has now become my primary practice tool.

I tried the Lingviko app as it was being developed. I was amazed at how interactive it was. Practicing speaking and answering questions in real time was really helpful. It has given me the confidence to finally pay for and sit the exam in the coming months.

I am currently preparing for my German language examinations and am so grateful that I came across this application. The 4 modalities (writing, reading, listening & speaking) are extensively covered in the different levels and the developers have done a phenomenal job in developing an app that simulates the actual exam environment. All the realistic practice opportunities have given my confidence a huge boost!
