Question 1

What is Fachsprachtrainer?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What's the difference from Kenntnistrainer?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Does the FSP only test language or also medical knowledge?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

What German level do I need to start?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

How does speaking practice work?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Can I practice writing medical reports?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How is this different from a regular German course?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 8

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 9

Is Fachsprachtrainer also useful for doctors already working in Germany?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Which medical specialties are covered?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 11

Does the AI make decisions about me?

Accepted Answer

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.
