Personal learning
Every mistake becomes an exercise.
Most practice sites give you the same tasks as everyone else. Sprachfuchs remembers where you go wrong and trains exactly that.
- Mistakes are collected. From every evaluation of writing and speaking, from gap-fill texts, language-building tasks and the pronunciation exercise.
- Your mistake profile shows patterns. Four categories with a trend and the places that keep coming back.
- You practise your own mistakes. “Learn from your mistakes” gives you 20 tasks from your mistakes: you see the wrong place and type the correct version.
- The training remembers where you stand. What was still wrong comes more often. What you already got right several times comes less often.

The cycle
Practise, recognise, train, get better.
Every exam makes the training more accurate.
Take an exam
Reading, listening, writing and speaking under real time, scored after the model of your exam style’s procedure.
Recognise mistakes
Every wrong place goes into your mistake profile with category, kind and correction. The same place counts only once.
Train with purpose
20 tasks from your own mistakes, any time, in a few minutes. Plus pronunciation cards for each sound.
See yourself improve
Improved mistakes drop out of the training. In the mistake profile you see which category is falling and what keeps returning.
What makes it special
An exam simulator with a personal trainer.
Besides the training from your mistakes you get everything that exam practice needs.
Scored after the model of the institutes
Points, pass limits and procedures follow the official documents. Each institute calculates differently, and you see it that way too.
Speaking with an AI partner
You speak, the AI answers with a voice, with the examiner’s instructions, preparation time and recording. That makes the oral exam familiar. Practise speaking
Pronunciation down to the sound
Pauses, speed, intonation and single sounds are compared. For every problem you get an exercise and a piece of advice. Practise pronunciation
Every exam shuffled anew
Answers stand in a different place at every attempt. You learn the tasks, not the letters.
Explained in your language
Feedback and hints come in Deutsch, English and Tiếng Việt. The exam stays German, understanding gets easier.
Example evaluation
This is what the feedback after speaking looks like.
An invented example for illustration: a B1 task “Planning something together” with feedback on the criteria, on single sentences and on pronunciation. Your own evaluation depends on what you say.
Example
Task: Together you plan an outing for your class. Make suggestions, react to each other and agree.
Feedback on the criteria
- Task fulfilmentYou discussed place, time and sequence. The agreement at the end was still missing.
- InteractionYou responded to your partner’s ideas and asked follow-up questions.
- Vocabulary, registerSuitable phrases for suggestions. The register was appropriate throughout.
- StructuresThe verb position in the subordinate clause was wrong several times (see below).
- CoherenceYour contributions were connected. More linking words such as “deshalb” and “außerdem” would help.
- PronunciationEasy to understand. Notes on pauses and on the sound “ü” are below.
Sentence by sentence
Structures
Ich bleibe zu Hause, weil ich will einen Film sehen.
Ich bleibe zu Hause, weil ich einen Film sehen will.
Pronunciation
- PausesSeveral longer pauses before subordinate clauses.
- SpeedRather fast at the start, calmer afterwards.
- IntonationQuestions rise at the end, statements stay rather flat.
- Sounds“Bücher” sounded like “Bicher”: round your lips as for “u”, tongue forward as for “i”.
Mistakes and sounds move into your training
The evaluation is an AI estimate for practice, not an official grade and not an exam result.

Frequently asked questions
Can I take the German exam at Sprachfuchs?
