What is Fachsprachtrainer?

Fachsprachtrainer is an AI-powered training platform for medical German. It helps doctors train their medical language for clinical practice and the Fachsprachprüfung (FSP) — through conversation simulations, Arztbrief exercises, and aloud practice with speech recognition.

What's the difference from Kenntnistrainer?

Kenntnistrainer prepares for the Kenntnisprüfung — that's about medical knowledge. Fachsprachtrainer focuses on medical language and communication in German. Two different exams, two specialized platforms.

Does the FSP only test language or also medical knowledge?

The FSP primarily tests your ability to communicate medically in German — conversations, documentation, explanations. Basic medical knowledge is assumed, but the exam evaluates your language competence.

What German level do I need to start?

B2 German is recommended. You choose your own starting level, and the exercises adapt to the level you picked — from basic communication to exam-ready C1 medical language.

How does speaking practice work?

You speak medical terms and sentences. The app compares the recognized text with the expected phrase and honestly shows which words were recognized. This is training feedback, not an official pronunciation assessment.

Can I practice writing medical reports?

Yes. You receive a clinical scenario and write an Arztbrief. The AI gives you feedback on the structure, medical language, grammar, and completeness of your letter — and shows improvements sentence by sentence.

How is this different from a regular German course?

German courses teach everyday language. Fachsprachtrainer trains medical communication — history taking, findings discussion, patient counseling, medical reports. Every exercise is medical and exam-relevant.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. During the current testing phase you can try every learning area for free. Please tell us directly if something is missing or broken.

Is Fachsprachtrainer also useful for doctors already working in Germany?

Absolutely. Many users are already working in clinical settings and want to improve their medical communication — ward round language, medical reports, patient counseling. The training is as practice-relevant as it is exam-relevant.

Which medical specialties are covered?

Scenarios cover internal medicine, surgery, emergency medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, neurology, and more. New scenarios are added regularly.

Does the AI make decisions about me?

No. The AI only gives you practice feedback on your training conversations and practice documents — it makes no automated decisions about you as a person (GDPR Art. 22). Your practice results have no effect on the real Fachsprachprüfung: it is conducted and graded exclusively by human examiners of the medical chambers (Ärztekammern). And how you use the feedback for your learning is entirely up to you.

Prepare for FSP in 2026: check sources, train the format

Why in 2026 you should combine official chamber pages, regional guidance, and real FSP run-throughs.

Short answer

Current preparation does not start with more material, but with source hygiene and repeatable practice.

Context

The biggest mistake in modern FSP preparation is not too little material, but too much outdated material. In 2026, good preparation starts with one question: where is this figure from, and from when?

Current preparation does not start with more material, but with source hygiene and repeatable practice.

Why source hygiene is the first step

Federal Medical Practitioners' Act, section 3 Bavarian Medical Chamber: Fachsprachprüfung

BÄO section 3 remains the overarching language frame for Approbation; BLÄK publishes Bavaria-specific FSP guidance and figures. Current preparation does not start with as much material as possible, but with deciding which sources you consider reliable in the first place.

What can change and what stays stable

Fees, dates, and responsibilities can change, sometimes even at short notice. What remains stable: medical language must work in three registers – that does not change through administrative reforms.

A simple monthly routine

A monthly source check – chamber, authority, invitation, fee, location – keeps your administration current without needing daily research. In parallel, the actual language practice continues unchanged. A good moment for this check is always the first of the month: a fixed date prevents it from getting lost in everyday busyness.

Create a monthly source check: chamber, authority, invitation, fee, location.
In parallel, practise the three FSP language actions every week so administration does not replace learning.

Common misunderstandings

One misunderstanding: more research automatically means better preparation. Research without language practice does not change your exam outcome. A second: a source checked once stays current forever – check dates age, which is why the regular check is worthwhile.

Next step

Set up your first monthly source check today and immediately schedule a regular practice session for this week right after.

Practise FSP realistically now

Practise history-taking, documentation, doctor-doctor conversation, and terminology in an exam-like flow.
