Start Practicing FreeWhy the TELC B1 Speaking Test Is So Hard to Prepare For
You can't practice speaking alone
Reading grammar books and watching YouTube videos won't prepare you for a live conversation. The mündliche Prüfung requires spontaneous responses, and the only way to get better is to actually speak — with someone who responds.
Tutors are expensive and hard to schedule
A private tutor costs €15–30 per session, and availability is limited. If you need daily practice in the weeks before your exam, that adds up to hundreds of euros.
Language exchange partners are unreliable
Finding a Tandem partner who shows up consistently, speaks at B1 level, and can give structured feedback is nearly impossible. And they can't simulate the actual exam format.
Text chatbots don't improve speaking
Typing German into ChatGPT or a text-based language app doesn't train your pronunciation, fluency, or ability to respond under time pressure. You need to actually talk.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the TELC B1 speaking test format?
The TELC B1 mündliche Prüfung (oral exam) has 3 parts: Teil 1 — Einander kennenlernen (getting to know each other, ~3 min), Teil 2 — Gespräch über ein Thema (discussing a topic using opinion cards, ~6 min), and Teil 3 — Gemeinsam etwas planen (planning something together, ~5 min). You take it with a partner and are assessed on content, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar. You need at least 60% in the speaking section to pass.
How does the AI speaking partner work?
Viobean uses advanced real-time voice AI to simulate your exam partner. You speak into your microphone, the AI listens and responds naturally in German — just like a real conversation. It follows the exact TELC B1 exam structure for each Teil, including using topic cards for Teil 2 and planning scenarios for Teil 3.
Is this better than practicing with a real person?
For exam preparation, yes — in several ways. A real person can't give you objective pronunciation scores, doesn't follow the exact exam format consistently, and costs significantly more (€15-30/session vs ~€0.22 with Viobean Pro Max). However, we recommend also practicing with real people when possible. Viobean is ideal for daily practice and building confidence before the exam.
How much does it cost?
Viobean offers a free plan with 3 credits per month (enough for 1 speaking session). The Pro plan at €14.99/month gives you 15 credits (7 speaking sessions). Pro Max at €24.99/month gives you 150 credits (75 sessions). Each speaking session costs 2 credits. You can also buy additional credit packs of 100 credits for €10.
Can I practice just the speaking section, or do I need to do the full exam?
You can practice any section independently. Choose exactly which Teil you want to focus on — whether it's Teil 1 self-introduction, Teil 2 topic discussion, or Teil 3 collaborative planning. Most students focus on their weakest Teil first and then do full practice sessions as their exam approaches.
What languages is the feedback available in?
Post-session feedback and AI explanations are available in 18 languages: Arabic, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), English, Farsi, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.
