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. Fachsprachtrainer assesses your medical German and adapts exercises accordingly — 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 evaluates structure, medical language, grammar, and completeness — 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.

Comparison/Comparison

Practise FSP online or attend a language course?

A fair comparison: language courses, online trainers, and self-simulation have different strengths in FSP preparation.

Do not mix

Use a course for grammar, pronunciation, and open questions; use simulations for the 20/20/20 flow.

Compare weekly: can you apply what you learned in patient conversation, medical note, and doctor-doctor conversation?

Context

FSP and KP sound like one package to many candidates. In preparation, you should still keep them clearly apart.

A language course can stabilise foundations. Online practice helps repeat FSP situations under time pressure.

Two exams, two goals

A language course can stabilise foundations. Online practice helps repeat FSP situations under time pressure.

The best preparation does not separate course and practice, but connects explanation, speaking, writing, and feedback.

BÄO section 3 anchors required German-language knowledge in the Approbation framework.
BLÄK describes FSP as a professional language exam in medical communication situations.
FSP is not a general German exam and not a normal course completion test.

Choose the right practice

The official structure becomes real exam preparation only through repeated language action.

FAQ

Is online practice better than a language course?

Not generally. A course can provide foundations and correction; online practice is strong when you need frequent and timely FSP situation repetition.
