A live telc B2 Sprechen mock exam with an AI examiner

Practise the spoken telc B2 exam out loud: an AI examiner runs the parts in real time, then gives feedback with pronunciation scoring.

Short answer: Heloria runs a live, spoken telc Deutsch B2 Sprechen mock exam. You talk out loud to an AI examiner that moves through the exam parts in real time, with an unscored warm-up first and a Redemittel sheet on screen. When it's over you get post-session feedback, including pronunciation scoring for German. You launch it straight from your tutor chat — no scheduling, no partner.

The hardest part to rehearse is the one you can now do daily

Reading and writing you can practise alone. Speaking is the part most learners under-rehearse, because it usually needs another person and a fixed time. So people walk into the oral exam having said very little German out loud under pressure — and it shows.

Heloria's Sprechen practice removes the coordination problem. The examiner is always available, the exam runs on demand, and you can do it as often as you like. That turns the scariest part of telc B2 into something you rehearse on a daily ritual like everything else.

How the live exam runs

  • A warm-up first. Before anything counts, there's an unscored warm-up so you settle in and get your voice going — the same way a real oral exam eases you in before Teil 1.
  • An examiner that drives the parts. The AI examiner runs the exam in real time and transitions between the parts itself, prompting you, reacting to what you say, and keeping the conversation moving — not a script you read past.
  • A Redemittel sheet on screen. The stock phrases for presenting, agreeing, disagreeing and structuring a discussion are right there while you speak. If you want to internalise them first, see 50 Redemittel for the B2 speaking exam.
  • You focus what gets practised. You can steer the session toward what you want to work on, and that focus is honoured when your performance is scored afterwards.

The feedback: including how you sound

The exam is only half the value — the feedback is the other half. After the session Heloria produces structured feedback on your performance, and crucially it includes pronunciation scoring for German, so you find out not just what you said but how intelligibly you said it. That's the signal you almost never get from practising alone with no listener.

You can also record and upload audio for feedback, with consent and the ability to have it erased — the speaking data is handled with GDPR-grade consent, retention and erasure controls.

What's live today — and what isn't

The live Sprechen mock exam is available now for telc Deutsch B2, for English speakers learning German. It is the one live voice exam in Heloria; the written and receptive parts (Lesen, Sprachbausteine, Hören, Schreiben) are practised as graded tasks inside the chat, not as live voice.

Other exams (Goethe, ÖSD, TestDaF), other language pairs, mobile, and any spoken practice beyond the Sprechen exam are on the roadmap — not available yet. We name that plainly rather than imply more than we ship.
