RAINER MARIA RILKE
RilkeOn every device:
Right here in your browser, nothing to download. Just start.
Everything you need to pass — aimed at a date, not sold as a subscription for life.
A score and concrete feedback against the real exam criteria — where you lose points and how to win them back. The first correction is free.
Theory and exercises for every topic. Vocabulary cards with picture and sound, article, plural and verb forms — with exercises in short sessions, all offline.
No speaking exam is taken alone — so the app supplies the partner. Speak your part, hold the dialogue, and be assessed against the same criteria. Pace, pauses and fillers are measured on your device.
Recordings in the real exam parts, played exactly as often as the paper plays them. Some parts twice, some once, with the reading time printed before each. Afterwards you get the transcript.
Reading comprehension in the real exam parts — practise part by part, or against the clock in exam mode.
A date, a countdown and a plan for the day — in the final week the app switches to full exam simulation.
One message a day, and only on the days you haven’t practised yet. It counts down to your exam — and stays quiet once you’ve done your bit.
In the exam you write by hand. Photograph your text, Rilke reads it and grades it like any other task. On a Mac you pick the photo of the page — the same feedback as for typed text.
Explanations and feedback in your language — the app speaks 22 of them, while the exam stays German.
At your desk on the Mac with a real keyboard, on the phone everywhere else. Progress and subscription carry across devices — bought once, yours everywhere.
Practise right here on the website — no download, no sign-up. With an account, your progress follows you into the app.
A1 for a visa or family reunion, B1 for citizenship, B2 for work, C1 for university — Rilke prepares you for exactly the certificate you need.
A short video and eight screens from the app — the assessment, the speaking partner, the countdown and the part that stays offline and free.
Swipe to see them all.
Six modules: writing and speaking with AI feedback, listening, reading, grammar and vocabulary offline — explanations in your language.
Which parts your exam has, how long they take and how often a listening text is played — per institute and level.

What people want to know before downloading.
Grammar, reading, listening, vocabulary and the writing editor are entirely free and work offline. Only the AI feedback for writing and speaking costs money, and the first correction is free — so is the first speaking dialogue. Having your own sentences checked in Wortschatz costs nothing — an ad runs after each check, and Plus turns those off.
Goethe-Zertifikat, telc and ÖSD at A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1 (listening up to B2 for now). The tasks follow the format of the exam you are actually sitting.
No. The app runs without sign-up. You only sign in to carry your progress to a second device or to use the free correction.
Yes, apart from the AI feedback. Listening, reading, grammar and vocabulary need no connection — cards and exercises alike, bar one: “write a sentence with this word” is AI feedback and works online only. Practise writing or speaking offline and the task is queued, then graded as soon as you are back online — you get a notification when it lands.
Against the four exam criteria, with a score out of 100, a reason for each criterion and the concrete mistakes with their corrections — not just a grade.
As often as the real exam plays it, and no more. It is fixed per exam part: some parts are played twice, some once, and each is preceded by the reading time printed on the paper. After you hand in you get the transcript and can find the sentence you missed.
Yes. Every speaking exam is held in pairs or in a group, so the app takes the partner's role: you speak your part, hold the dialogue, and get an assessment against the exam criteria. Pace, pauses and filler words are measured on your device.
