WHY IT WORKS
We know German exams aren't easy — but they feel manageable when you know what to expect. Lingviko is an AI-powered German learning platform that simulates official German language tests, helping you improve your skills. Practice in a realistic, exam-like environment and boost your results faster.

Write clearly and confidently for your exam. Our exercises guide you to express ideas clearly, master grammar structures, and expand your vocabulary. With instant feedback and practical tips, you’ll write confidently and see real improvement with every session.
Turn every listening exercise into an opportunity to understand German more naturally. Our listening exercises train your ear to catch words, phrases, and nuances, helping you master comprehension and enjoy the language with ease.


Boost your German reading skills with level-appropriate texts that are both engaging and easy to understand. Each passage is crafted to maintain 90–95% comprehension, helping you absorb new vocabulary, strengthen grammar, and prepare for A1–B2 German exams faster and with greater confidence.
Speak German with confidence and clarity. Interactive, real-life speaking tasks help you sound natural, improve pronunciation, and gain fluency. Practice at your own pace and use the transcript to review every word, helping you refine your speaking skills and build fluency.

WHAT BOOSTS YOUR LEARNING
A little help can go a long way. Viko won't give you the answers — but it will give you the right kind of help: smart hints that reinforce your understanding, unlock vocabulary, clarify tricky concepts... and ultimately, help you learn better.
HOW YOU KEEP IMPROVING
The fastest way to improve? Know your mistakes — and fix them. Lingviko gives you immediate feedback, tracks your performance, and offers actionable insights so you can keep leveling up, every step of the way.
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.
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!
