I used this platform while preparing for my Goethe-Institut B1 exam, it was exactly what I needed beyond the standard practice tests. It covered all sections thoroughly, and the content was engaging and effective. Thanks to it, I passed my exam. Highly recommended!

I've tested Lingviko for a while now and can honestly say it is a fantastic tool. I am not too good on sentence construction - I still want to write German in an 'English' way - but this makes Satzbau much easier. And the speaking sections - wow - a whole new ball game on conversation. Lingviko is highly recommended ❤️

I love this app! It's made me so much more confident about passing my Goethe-Institut A1 exam. So grateful for all the hard work behind it!

I've been using this app during its development and it has impressively improved. I'm taking the German A1 exam soon and have been using the individual tests to target areas that need improvement. The AI interaction is really impressive and accurate during my use. Hopefully the reactive and questions have a close likeness to the exam. Definitely a valuable asset.

This app is amazing. Whether or not you are preparing for a German proficiency exam, the app is a supremely helpful addition to any online or in person course. Grammar and vocabulary come alive in written and spoken exercises with immediate, real time feedback, fulsome explanations and encouragement.

I got the opportunity to test and use Lingviko during my German A1 learning. I am already enrolled with "your German teacher" and took the courses there. Was not confident with the speaking and by taking speaking practice tests on Lingviko it made a lot of difference in my confidence levels. These tests are so much interactive with immediate assessment, they truly helped my learning, great job team 👍

Thanks for a tool like this, I made good use of the app during the testing phase, and I was honestly surprised by how helpful it is. The speaking practice is my favourite, it feels realistic and gives me the chance to really practice my speaking. Currently preparing for the Goethe A1 exam, the app has now become my primary practice tool.

I tried the Lingviko app as it was being developed. I was amazed at how interactive it was. Practicing speaking and answering questions in real time was really helpful. It has given me the confidence to finally pay for and sit the exam in the coming months.

I am currently preparing for my German language examinations and am so grateful that I came across this application. The 4 modalities (writing, reading, listening & speaking) are extensively covered in the different levels and the developers have done a phenomenal job in developing an app that simulates the actual exam environment. All the realistic practice opportunities have given my confidence a huge boost!
