Which exam are you preparing for?

For all five formats there are explanations, mock tests and exercises.

What is your level? That is where your path starts.

Every level has its own page: lesson notes, interactive exercises and the skills exam in one place.

Note: the lessons and exercises on almancaeskisehir.com are written in Turkish.

Measure your real level in four skills

Reading, listening, writing and speaking are tested separately. For reading and listening your result is ready the moment you finish; for writing and speaking you record your own production.

When reading the rule is not enough

Practise with games at your level

Each game drills exactly one grammar structure: ten questions, three lives, combo. Below are two examples from each level; no sign-up, no install, it runs in the browser.

Note: the games' interface is currently in Turkish. The German sentences and tasks are in German.

What do learners say?

Real experiences from learners at every level

As a complete beginner I was looking for a clear resource. The topics build up step by step and the example sentences really do make learning easier. The vocabulary lists and grammar explanations helped me most.
Ayşe K.A1★★★★★
I have used many free resources, but the content here is far better organised. Being able to check the answers after doing the exercises is a big advantage. It is now one of the first sites I open when I study.
Mert Y.A2★★★★★
I came across the exam simulation by chance. It let me try a whole exam properly. Having audio recording and a speaking part is fantastic — thank you for the work you put in.
MeryemA2★★★★★
When I moved up to B1 I could develop reading and vocabulary alongside grammar, not grammar on its own. The topics link to one another, which makes learning easier. The example sentences are especially good.
Zeynep D.B1★★★★★
I used it regularly while preparing for the Goethe exam. The explanations are plain but detailed enough. With no unnecessary clutter, revising becomes far more efficient.
Emre A.B2★★★★★
At C1 it can be hard to find accurate, reliable material. The advanced topics and the current German news on this site widened my vocabulary and gave me reading practice. The quality of the content is genuinely high.
Elif S.C1★★★★★
