Deutsch enthusiasts!
Whether you’re just dipping your toes into the world of German or you’re already confidently ordering your Brötchen in Berlin, it’s always a good idea to put your skills to the test with a German quiz.
These quizzes are the GPS devices for your language journey – they show you where you are and help you figure out where to go next. (And they’re a great way to flex those language muscles, haha!)
At Spring German (a project I co-founded), we’ve already made a video: it’s an interactive quiz that you can check out right away:
But in this post, we’re going to share a written German quiz with multiple choices, so you can test yourself in a different way.

1. Why German quizzes answer your questions
Let’s face it, German quizzes are like having a personal trainer for your brain.
They give you a no-nonsense assessment of your current German skills and help you spot your strengths and weaknesses.
And what can you do with all this intel?
Well, with this knowledge, you can set realistic goals and choose learning materials that actually fit your needs. No more wasting time on stuff that’s too easy or banging your head against the wall with advanced German vocabulary you’re not ready for yet.
Taking German quizzes regularly is like checking your progress on a fitness app. It keeps you motivated because you can see all those sweet, sweet improvements over time.
If you’re gearing up for official language exams or planning to study or work in Germany, these quizzes can give you a taste of what to expect: if you’re looking for some tips, here’s how to pass a Goethe exam.
2. German levels: from “Guten Tag” to specific Goethe-level
The German levels you can reach are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
These levels range from “I can order a beer” to “I can debate philosophy with locals”.
Here’s the breakdown:
- A1 (Beginner): You can introduce yourself and ask for directions to the nearest Biergarten (here’s how to order beer in German).
- A2 (Elementary): You can chat about your hobbies and understand simple signs like “Kein Bier vor vier” (No beer before four).
- B1 (Intermediate): You can explain why you love Currywurst and describe your last vacation in detail.
- B2 (Upper Intermediate): You can discuss current events and understand most German TV shows without subtitles.
- C1 (Advanced): You can express complex ideas and use German flexibly in professional settings.
- C2 (Proficiency): You can understand virtually everything, even rapid-fire Bavarian German dialects, and express yourself with the eloquence of a native speaker.

4. Level Up Your German with Conversation Based Chunking
Alright, you’ve done it! You’ve got your results. But now what?
Well, this is where the real fun begins.
This quiz was just the appetizer – now it’s time for the main course of your German language journey.
Here at Effortless Conversations, we have a revolutionary method called Conversation Based Chunking that can help you learn German without getting bogged down in boring grammar rules.
It’s all about focusing on the natural building blocks of the language – lexical chunks.
Instead of trying to memorize words one by one (booooring), you focus on the context and use chunks in their natural habitat, in real-life German sentences.
To help you hit the ground running, we’ve prepared a German Conversation Based Chunking Guide for you.
You’ll find an essential German chunking list, useful resources to learn German, and even access to our Full Practice Worksheet Library, where you can practice any German topic your heart desires!
So, ready to take your German from “Meh” to “Wunderbar”?
