The oral exam is often underestimated, yet it is precisely here that a lot can be gained with targeted practice. The interesting question is what pure AI can deliver and where practising with a person makes the difference. Here we put it in context.
Why it pays to practise the oral exam specifically
How ready are you really?
Your Ready-Score shows you in a mock exam where you stand today. Free, no risk.
Speaking freely under time pressure can be trained, just like writing or listening. The more often you play through an exam situation, the calmer you become. How the oral exam runs is shown in the oral telc B2 exam and the oral telc B1 exam.
What live training does differently from pure AI
Both have their place. AI is ideal for practising any time and as often as you want, without pressure or waiting. A person in live training, on the other hand, brings real interaction: spontaneous follow-up questions, immediate feedback on pronunciation and fluency, and the feeling of a real conversation situation, which helps against speaking anxiety. The strongest is the combination of both. That is why HeyFlinko relies on unlimited AI practice and complements it with live sessions with certified trainers.
How to practise best
Mix both: repeat a lot with the AI and work with your phrases, then test specifically in conversation. For a full overview, see the page on the telc B2 exam.
The bottom line
AI and live training complement each other: one for volume and flexibility, the other for real interaction and feedback. Whoever uses both goes into the oral exam best prepared.
