Free results and explanations. No account needed.
A vocabulary self-check, not a vocabulary-size estimate.
How it works
- Choose the meaning that fits each sentence without using a dictionary.
- Choose “I’m not sure” instead of guessing; you can revisit answers before finishing.
- Review explanations and explore German books or stories at a suggested starting level.
What this test can tell you
This is a small, original vocabulary self-check, not an estimate of how many German words you know. Its reading guidance is approximate and has not been externally validated. Familiarity with a few words does not establish overall language proficiency.
About this tool
Does this measure my vocabulary size?
No. Twenty-five questions can show how you handled these words, but cannot reliably count your entire vocabulary.
Does a high score mean I am fluent?
No. Vocabulary recognition is one part of language learning. This test does not assess speaking, listening or writing.
What should I read after the test?
Use the suggested level as a starting point. Try a short story and adjust your choice depending on how comfortable the actual reading feels.
