Everything that shipped in Faust, newest first.
New
With your browser set to Turkish, a tap on a German word in a paper now shows its meaning in Turkish, in the sense of that sentence. Reisebuch shows seyahat rehberi, Ausleihen in Danke fürs Ausleihen shows ödünç verme, and Ausländerbehörde shows Yabancılar Dairesi. Weekdays and months start lowercase, like in Turkish writing. In the Goethe A1 and A2 papers the Turkish meaning appears at once.
Improved
With your browser set to Turkish, the home page, the free paper, your result, the offer and the speaking room now read Turkish and address you with siz. Exam words such as Teil, Lesen and Goethe stay German, like the real paper. Points show a decimal comma, for example 11,7 of 25.
Improved
Without a plan, your one free gym run each day can now be a writing or speaking drill. A mixed run with all skills now starts too, with the drills that need no marking. After your free run, the gym shows when your next one opens.
Improved
In your listening results, each turn of a talk now starts on a new line with the name of the speaker, for example Moderator or Dana Schneider. Papers without speaker turns show the transcript as before.
Fixed
TestAS Kerntest sessions now start. When you finish, you see a TestAS result with your points for each Teil, without a Goethe grade or a pass mark. The review marks the correct answer in green and a wrong pick in red.
Improved
Without a plan, every tutor chat box now shows how many of your 20 free chats and translations are left. Your chat with the tutor also stays when you reload the page.
New
Next to Start speaking there is now Without partner. The examiner opens and closes each part, you speak alone, and the AI partner stays silent. Your score counts only what you can do alone, so you lose no points for a missing partner.
Improved
Speaking marks now come from fixed rules for each official criterion: which task points you covered, your suggestions and reactions, your linking words and the mistakes per 100 words. The AI only finds these facts, and each lost point shows its reason.
Fixed
A second check of the new word meanings in C1, C2 and TestDaF reading texts corrected 162 labels in 31 sentences. For example, "kommt es darauf an" now shows "what matters" where the text means importance, and "Sparplan" shows "cost reduction plan".
Fixed
When you tap a single word or a short phrase in a C1, C2 or TestDaF reading text, the English meaning now fits exactly the words you chose. Before, some words showed the meaning of their neighbour, for example "does" for "bedeutet".
Fixed
With German as the app language, the gym buttons, the answer feedback and the tutor bar prompt now show in German instead of English. Other app languages still show these lines in English.
Fixed
Reading and writing papers retain source titles and supplied task details. Reading reviews show the supplied reason for a wrong choice where available. Gap tasks include a read only worked example before question 1.
Fixed
Spoken text from additional worked examples stays hidden until you hand in your listening paper. The transcript remains available in the submitted review.
New
Your dashboard now shows your score in each skill, the days to your exam and one next task with a Start button. Today lists your steps for the day in order. Choose a task opens reading, listening, writing or speaking practice in one tap.
New
New guides explain Goethe B1 and B2 in French and Goethe A1 for the family reunion visa in Arabic. Each guide shows the parts, the minutes and the pass mark, and opens a free paper. A language switch links each guide to the same page in German and English.
Improved
The writing results now explain each mistake in the language of your app. Quotes and corrections stay in German. A result marked in another language shows the mistake without its old reason.
Improved
Reading papers show Beispiel 0 again as a solved row, as in the official papers. Listening transcripts stay hidden until you hand in the paper. The review no longer shows filler reasons or a whole text as proof.
Improved
Pricing now shows the published Goethe paper count and confirms that speaking papers are available to practise. On iOS in ChatGPT, the offer and checkout provide instructions and a copyable link for continuing in Safari.
Improved
Reading and listening results now guide you through each mistake with your answer, the correction and the points lost. Reading shows source evidence. Listening lets you open the transcript and replay each part from its beginning, with seeking and playback speed controls.
New
Writing results now show your own text with each mistake corrected in place, the reason, and the points it cost. Your score builds up block by block, and you step through your mistakes one at a time.
Fixed
Checkout now offers Google Pay next to Apple Pay and Link. Card payments ask for your address once, because tax depends on where you live.
Improved
Monthly prices outside the euro area are now round amounts, for example ₹279 instead of ₹274.22. Plans you already pay for keep their price. On a slow connection the payment form now keeps loading and offers Try again instead of an error.
Improved
When you save a word from a paper, the bookmark now jumps, fills from the top and sends out small sparks. The saved card also shows the word apart from the Saved label.
Improved
All parts of a writing paper are now marked at the same time, so your result arrives in about a third of the time.
Improved
DSD, DTZ, TestDaF, ÖSD, DTB and ÖIF practice papers now also show prepared English translations as soon as you select text.
Improved
Select words or passages in all current Goethe and telc C1 and C2 practice papers to see prepared English translations without waiting for an AI response. This covers reading, listening, writing and speaking paper content.
Fixed
Listening papers preload their stored recordings and start playback on the first click without generating audio during the session.
Fixed
English translation labels above paper headings are no longer clipped along their top edge.
Fixed
Short translated expressions stay together when text wraps, so words such as “zum ersten Mal” share one complete label. Longer prepared passages use smaller phrase groups while keeping the original German text and word order.
Improved
Select words or passages in all current Goethe and telc B1 and B2 practice papers to see prepared English translations without waiting for an AI response. This covers reading, listening, writing and speaking paper content.
Fixed
Checkout checks the current email sending setup instead of stopping when an old verification record expires. Contract emails and cancellation confirmations use the same current check.
Fixed
Prepared translations keep a phrase’s meaning together when the German text wraps onto another line. The existing word layout, colors and translation animations remain in place.
Fixed
Listening papers retain their exam provider in the header, so telc papers show the telc name and logo instead of Goethe.
Fixed
Your first speaking paper now demonstrates translation on its instructions using the same animated introduction as reading and listening. The guide finishes by restoring the paper so you can continue practicing.
Improved
Paragraph translations do less startup work while keeping the same particle effects, movement and timing. Browsers with worker canvas support prepare the particles in the background; other browsers retain the original rendering path.
Fixed
Your first listening paper now shows the translation introduction on its question text, so you can discover the same reading tools without opening a reading paper first.
Fixed
Speaking papers started as a guest now open directly instead of sending you to sign in. Your paper remains accessible only to its owner.
Improved
Arriving from a Google ad with a clear exam level now keeps that level on the landing page, practice links and offer. Browsing a general page preserves your selection. You can still choose another level.
Fixed
Starting your first Goethe paper now sets your dashboard level to match. A level you have already chosen stays unchanged.
Fixed
Switching between Source and Questions preserves translated text positions. Closing a translation now finishes its layout movement before removing the controls, and paragraph animations require less setup work.
Improved
Start a fresh attempt of a completed paper from the library. Previous attempts remain available in attempt history, with their dates and saved scores. See your latest and best score, or continue an unfinished attempt without losing earlier results. Normal paper access limits still apply.
Improved
Prepared English translations now cover the published Goethe and telc A1 and A2 listening, speaking and writing papers, alongside reading. Select paper text in casual practice to translate locally. Papers outside this rollout keep the existing translation service.
Improved
Writing keeps the task beside your answer on desktop and offers quick task switching on mobile. Word guidance follows the paper instructions, C2 task details are complete, and A1 date fields accept equivalent dates. Speaking has clearer task cards and recording controls. Casual attempts have no countdown; exam attempts use the module clock.
Improved
Your free allowance now includes one paper each for reading, listening, writing and speaking. Goethe speaking includes the examiner, audio and feedback without a separate subscription gate. Faust Pass and Flex include unlimited papers.
Improved
All 18 Goethe and telc A2 reading papers now include prepared English translations for their source text, questions and answer choices. Select text to translate without waiting for a new translation request. Other papers keep the existing translation service.
Fixed
Sending a tutor question keeps the chat input separate from the paper navigation and shows a waiting state while the request is prepared. Previous messages appears only when there is an earlier turn to view.
Fixed
Prepared translations now match the displayed passage even when the same text also appears in a combined article. This avoids an unnecessary translation request for affected selections in mapped papers.
Fixed
Translation highlights now use darker backgrounds in dark mode so the German text and English meanings remain readable. Light mode keeps its existing colors.
Improved
The 18 current Goethe and telc A1 reading papers now include prepared English translations for source passages, questions and answer choices. Select a word or phrase to see its meaning without waiting for a translation request. Other papers continue to use the existing translation service.
Fixed
Checkout shows the price and email field while payment options load. Card payment no longer waits for optional wallets, and opening checkout reuses the Stripe connection prepared on the offer.
Fixed
Overlapping answer and navigation saves retry against the latest paper state, preserving answers saved by another request instead of reporting a revision conflict.
Fixed
Question navigation now brings the next prompt into view and keeps exam numbering consistent. Source labels, article boundaries, listening examples and writing task numbers are clearer. Choice fields support selection, and choosing a C2 writing topic brings the editor into view.
Fixed
Completed speaking assessments can now save feedback from the current scoring provider, so results no longer remain stuck while preparing feedback.
Fixed
Guest paper availability now uses the guest allowance instead of an account allowance. After using your free paper, it no longer reports three papers remaining.
Improved
Translated lines and the text below them now move with browser animations instead of repeated layout updates. Saved cards resize on the same browser timeline, and translation controls stay clear of the remaining paragraph text.
Fixed
Completed listening gym run links now show a saved result summary instead of a missing page.
Fixed
The tutor receives the selected statement inside a grouped question, so its explanation follows the question you are viewing.
Fixed
When speaking access requires a plan, Start speaking stays disabled and the access explanation remains available.
Fixed
A visible Skip introduction button lets you return to your paper before the demonstration finishes.
Fixed
The selected reading question remains visible when you switch between narrow and wide windows.
Fixed
The results animation now continues smoothly when scoring finishes instead of starting again. For subscribers, Start another paper opens the library so you can choose what to practise next.
Improved
The reading guide’s moving controls now use browser animation timing, so their movement can continue during brief JavaScript stalls. Result resizing also does less work per frame. Device power limits can still affect animation smoothness.
Fixed
Questions now use the same inline word and passage translation as Source. Dragging a question selection stops before answer controls, so option letters are no longer included in the translation.
Fixed
Matching and gap answer menus expand inside the question, so the full list stays reachable instead of being cut off. Closed menus also hide their options from screen readers.
Fixed
After replaying the reading guide on a completed paper, you can switch between Questions and Source again.
Fixed
Listen and Done stay beneath the translated passage as you scroll, without sliding toward the screen edges or the chat bar.
Fixed
Listen and Done keep their position beside the translated passage as you scroll. They no longer float above the chat dock or remain visible after the passage leaves the reader.
Fixed
Finishing a reading paper after the tool guide now keeps the results open, so you can review all questions. A guide link no longer sends a newly completed paper back to its source text.
New
Three sets for the adult A2–B1 exam are now available. Work through reading, listening and writing online, or download the papers. Speaking comes with separate photo cards for both participants and an examiner guide; live conversation is not available yet. Short DTZ exercises are also in the gym.
New
There are now three papers for each of its four skills, with PDFs and recordings. Practise matching texts, answering listening questions in your own words, and writing from charts. Writing feedback points to passages in your answer. Speaking follows the seven timed tasks and saves your recordings for replay; spoken assessment is not available yet.
New
The telc library has 72 new papers: three for each skill at every level from A1 to C2, including speaking. Practise online or download the paper and its guide. In the gym, shorter telc exercises help you work on one skill at a time. C1 follows the general exam format.
New
Three more papers for each skill, at every level from A1 to C2. The Goethe library now has 288 papers, with twelve choices for reading, listening, writing and speaking at your level. They are ready to practise online or download as PDFs.
Fixed
Your speaking review now shows what the topic you chose was testing, alongside your feedback. You can see which skills you were practising when you go back through the paper.
Fixed
Reopening a writing answer now keeps your paragraphs and line breaks. Gaps in questions look like spaces to fill, instead of raw underscores. Small fixes, but you should be able to concentrate on the German.
New
We added 144 papers this week, bringing the Goethe library to 216. That gives you nine papers for each skill at every level from A1 to C2, including speaking. Pick another when you want a fresh round of practice.
New
Our Goethe practice papers are now available as PDFs. Download a paper and its answer or assessment guide, or open the same paper in Faust. Listening recordings are on the paper page too.
New
You can now practise speaking from A1 to C2. Prepare with your task card, then take your turn with an AI conversation partner. When you finish, you can read the transcript and go through your feedback.
New
The dashboard is now a single board: your exam and the days left at the top, your score and all four modules beside it, your streak, points and badges in one row, and your feed below. A bottom dock replaces the old side menu, and it becomes the tutor input inside a paper. Feed rows carry their reason line, and Wolfgang waits at the end of the list.
Improved
Your avatar and language settings now live inside the account menu, so you change them where you expect them. Menus no longer clip off the edge of the screen. Saving a word confirms right in the word dial instead of a popup.
Improved
Checkout now opens inside the app in your own language, and after payment you land back where you were. Your tutor chat survives a page refresh, so a conversation never disappears mid-thought. Select several words at once and the translation covers the whole passage.
Improved
Every paper now comes from a prepared pool, so a session opens the moment you tap start. The app loads less up front, switches between Teile without a stutter, and reading text on the phone got bigger. You can also sign in with Apple now.
New
On the phone, a swipe turns the page and a hold selects words: the two never fight each other again. Your first session also teaches itself now: a guided first Teil walks you through reading, answering and word lookup on the real controls.
New
Tap any word in a paper and a small dial opens around it: translate it, save it to your deck, or ask the tutor about it in a chat that keeps its thread. Single-word lookups now answer instantly from a built-in dictionary. Daily translation limits went up to 200 for guests and 1000 for signed-in learners.
New
The dashboard list is now built by the engine for each day between today and your exam date. It learns from everything you do: papers, gym drills, flashcards and reviews all move your standing and reshape the plan. Miss a day and the work moves onto the days you have left. Finish the list and you get a short overtime round, then a clean end to the day.
New
The Faust Pass is one payment of 29.99 EUR that runs to your registered exam date, up to 12 weeks. Everything is unlimited inside that window, and access ends by itself, so there is nothing to cancel. Flex is now 9.99 EUR a month for steady practice with no exam date yet. Set your exam date first and the Pass covers exactly the days you have left.
New
Tell us how often you can study and the dashboard lays out every day between today and your exam. Each study day carries its own work, so you always know what to open next. Tap any day to change it and the rest of the plan moves with it. Every paper you finish shows the honest amount it added to your score.
New
The level test now ends with a real commitment: the verdict names the level you are aiming for, and one tap saves your plan with Google or your email. The whole result fits one screen. New alongside it: the Termin Radar tells you by email when to act on exam registration for your city, and new guides cover TestDaF or Goethe C1, Studienkolleg, Ausbildung, and the au pair visa.
New
A new placement test pins your level between A1 and C2 from short German sentences, one at a time. No account, no timer, no long paper. The verdict is careful on purpose: it tells you the level the evidence can certify and the level you are tracking toward, and it never rounds up. Wolfgang waits at the end with your result and a real paper at your level.
New
Your pace has a face. Wolfgang is a small ghost who walks your plan one day ahead of you: catch him before the day ends and you are on pace for your exam. Your own line now tells the story of every stretch in colour, red where you fell behind, green where you held the pace, violet where you ran ahead. You also get your own face: pick a creature drawn in the app's own style, and it stands with you on the chart and in your account menu. The dashboard around them got a facelift: practice estimate tiles that open on tap, a day wall you can plan future days on, and a loading picture that no longer jumps.
New
The dashboard shows a practice estimate for each module as an honest range, built from every paper and writing round you finish. One recommended next step names your weakest module and starts it in one click. A history calendar shows each day you worked; tap a day to see what you did and how it moved your estimate. After each paper, the results screen tells you what changed and where steady practice can take you by exam day.
Improved
The listening and writing samples are now the real paper in read only mode, not a separate mock up. They carry the same part numbers, the same exam badge and the same layout as reading. Listening has a new player: the recording is drawn as a wave you can drag to any point, with speed control and a transcript you can read as a script. Writing has a new sheet: ruled lines show you where to write, the topic is set as quoted material, and how long your answer should be is stated once, beside the task.
New
Press "Keep my progress" and the guest banner opens a small sign up form in place. You can use Google or an email link, and your work stays on screen the whole time. Your remaining papers now also sit in the sidebar, above your account button, with the Plans link next to them.
New
A panel beside the paper now holds your exam conditions. Timed runs the official clock. Free roam removes it so you can work at your own pace. The page also shows your free papers as a bank with a live countdown to the next one, and the start button always names the exact paper it opens.
Improved
Your climb now starts on day one, even before you set an exam date. Move the pointer and the chart follows it smoothly, short views name the weekdays, and the zoom buttons glide between views instead of jumping. The line draws itself in and the numbers count up as they land.
Improved
Tap the exam name on your overview and it opens into your list of exams. Picking one switches straight away. The level pills are gone, and the exam manager now asks one question at a time.
New
Put study actions on the days you want them. A planned action leads Next up when its day comes, and a paper you finish marks itself done.
Fixed
Sign up and everything you did as a guest comes with you: your papers, your scores and your attempts. This now works on every way into an account.
Improved
When you use your free paper, the app now names the exact time your next one opens. Until then it offers study actions you can do for free instead of stopping you.
Fixed
Repeat a finished paper with one tap. The back control works everywhere, a paper that stalls while it builds can be started again, and error messages arrive in your language.
New
Your score chart now races a ghost. The ghost line shows the pace that reaches your target by exam day, your line shows where you really are, and the gap between them glows green when you are ahead and red when you fall behind. A marker pins today on the chart, and you can switch between Today, Week and To exam views or zoom and pan freely.
Improved
The gym page now leads with the drills you can actually run. Pick an exercise and start in one tap, with a clearer layout that puts the training itself first.
Improved
In the reader you can now drag across several words to look up a phrase or a whole sentence together. The selection follows your finger exactly instead of jumping from word to word.
Improved
Faust has a new bird mark, and the browser tab icon now follows your light or dark theme. Module tiles carry small artwork for each skill, the dashboard shows a proper loading state instead of a blank page, and gap fill answers are easier to read in dark mode.
Fixed
Changing the level of an exam now moves it instead of adding a copy. Exam boards that are not open yet are clearly labeled coming soon.
Fixed
B1 reading papers now include all five parts of the real exam, so a full paper matches exactly what you sit on the day.
New
Tap the exam name on your overview to change level, set each exam date, or add another exam. With a date set, your chart shows the pace you need and a marker for where you should be today.
Improved
Your decks are now the page, with what is due today front and center. Reviews follow a proper spaced repetition schedule, a missed card comes back in the same session, and new decks are created right on the page.
New
Write to us straight from the contact page. Pick a topic, send your message, and we reply to your email within 2 working days.
New
Answer one question about your exam date and the right plan lights up. Change your answers any time and it picks again.
Improved

Improved
Exam boards now appear with their own marks across the app, including the boards coming soon: telc, TestDaF and OeSD.
New
Every level page and every paper can now show you the official format, Teil by Teil: parts, minutes, points and pass mark, straight from the same blueprint your papers are built on. Tap the exam name to open it.
New
Set your exam date in three quick taps: day, month, year. A countdown then follows you in the sidebar and on your overview, with each remaining day drawn behind the number.
Improved
A gap in the text now grows into its own answer list and folds back when you choose. Options keep their a, b, c order, and looking up a word inside the list no longer closes it.
Improved
The level slider, the part switcher and the view toggles now share one control: drag it, feel it click into each stop, and watch it glide when you tap. Same feel everywhere.
Fixed
Collapsing the sidebar or resizing the window no longer clears the chat, and a reply keeps writing while the panel is closed. Double tap any word in a paper to translate it instantly.
Improved
Tap a word and the lookup grows out of it with a small pointer that stays on the word. Tap another word and the menu glides over instead of reopening.
Improved
Answer options are one connected control with a selection that slides between choices. Gaps in the text now look like open slots, so you can see at a glance what is left to fill.
Improved
Expanding, collapsing and the small-screen drawer all animate now, on every page. The level selector can be dragged and settles onto your level.
Improved
Opening a paper no longer repeats the same checks several times. The paper is ready when the page is, instead of seconds later.
New
The paper on the start page now carries level buttons. Tap one and the sample transforms to that level, and your free paper starts there. Every paper also names its exam and level in the top bar.
Improved
The short intro tour now spotlights real controls, opens the tutor panel for you and works the view switch itself so you see what it does. Nothing interrupts you while the tour runs.
Improved
The dashboard now requests only the session details it needs for recent attempts, scores and readiness. Your practice history and results stay the same.
Fixed
If an account check is slow, Faust now stops waiting after a short check and shows a retry page. Your access stays unchanged unless the paper starts.
Fixed
Secure checkout is now available. Your access activates as soon as payment completes, so you can move straight from choosing a plan to practising.
Improved
Your results screen shows recent attempts against the 60-point pass mark. The dashboard counts down to your exam and shows how ready you are for each module.
New
Pick your exam date on the results screen or the sidebar countdown chip. The app counts down your remaining time and shows your distance to pass.
New
Sprint passes can now be purchased directly with no signup required. Your access link arrives by email.
Improved
The Gym is back in the sidebar. Satz-Sprint now spans A2 to C1 with 54 sentences, so there is more material to drill outside a full paper.
New
Visit /tools/goethe-schreiben-woerter to check your text length against the official requirements for each level and Teil.
Improved
An abandoned paper now displays what you wrote instead of a fail verdict, so you can see how far you got and what to work on.
Improved
Trying Faust without an account no longer runs on a one-time budget. Guests now get 50 tutor turns that refresh every day at midnight, so you can come back tomorrow and keep practising.
New
A small banner now shows current service availability with a live clock, so you can tell whether a slow reply is local or service-wide.
Fixed
Guest tutor conversations now keep their context, and brief interruptions recover automatically.
Improved
The tutor can check supporting information during an answer, and brief interruptions now retry automatically in chat and translation.
New
Finished papers now open straight to a marked results view with a clear verdict against the 60% pass mark, localized feedback and next-step actions. Your dashboard shows a scoreboard of recent results so progress is visible at a glance.
Fixed
Long Schreiben submissions now complete marking more reliably, and interrupted attempts can be retried.
Improved
The writing (Schreiben) area was rebuilt, flashcards now run from the spacebar and keys 1–4, and the listening player can skip back five seconds and change speed. Also: resume a session straight from the dashboard, a reworked results page, faster loading states and a long tail of small fixes.
Improved
A slim header replaces the old footer bar, the source text and the questions sit side by side on wide screens, the sidebar collapses to an icon rail, and your saved words are marked quietly in the text.
Fixed
A click now lands on the word you actually pointed at, whole sentences can be translated by dragging across them, and answer positions in exams are shuffled evenly instead of favouring one slot.
Improved
Satz-Sprint gained a combo multiplier, streaks, per-round scoring, and your best result on the Gym card.
New
The Gym is where you drill outside a full paper: rebuild whole sentences in Satz-Sprint, and review your saved words with flashcards.
Improved
C1 reading papers now have tighter grammar questions and more reliable answer keys.
Fixed
Several bugs in the library are gone, so saved material opens reliably again.
