Question 1 of 8
___ heißt du?
What do the CEFR levels mean?
Absolute beginning — you don't know a single word of German yet.
You can introduce yourself, shop, and ask for directions in simple sentences.
You can manage your appointments and daily life in German.
You can express your opinion — the level most Ausbildung programs ask for.
How accurate is this test?
This test has only 8 questions, in about 3 minutes — enough to give you a rough idea only, not full accuracy. The real placement test, inside the Lerniyo app, has far more questions, measures grammar and reading in depth, and ramps up gradually like a real exam.
What does the full test inside the app add?
- Far more questions, split between grammar and reading
- A ladder system like the official exam — the level rises gradually
- An accurate result showing exactly where to start in the curriculum
- No signup and no credit card to try it
