German placement test - for all language levels
We will find the right German course for you
How good are my German skills? Many people only have a vague idea. At the DeutschAkademie, however, we want you to attend exactly the German course in which you can learn best. And we will find out together with you - using our free online German placement test. It is based on the 12-level model of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) in order to provide you with a comparable result.
Our German placement test
With our detailed written and oral placement test, we can determine your previous knowledge so that you can find the German course that suits you perfectly.
Why is a German placement test so important?
Our experience shows that homogeneous learning groups are best suited to achieving fast and sustainable learning success with adults in terms of language level. After all, who learns in a relaxed manner when they are under or overchallenged? And in both cases you usually lose time and money. This is why a precise assessment of your previous knowledge is so important. Let us work with you to find out how good your German language skills currently are. The result of our placement test will show you exactly at which language level from A1 to C2 you are.
What does the German placement test consist of?
Our placement test takes about 10 to 40 minutes. It consists of a written part and, if the results are unclear, an oral part. Your German language skills are assessed in terms of vocabulary, listening and reading comprehension and grammar.
