Common questions

What appears in the DTZ speaking exam?

You communicate about familiar daily topics: exchange personal information, react to a topic and plan something with others. Use official model tests for the current task order.

How can I practise DTZ speaking?

Speak in short patterns: statement, reason, example and follow-up question. For planning, use suggestion, response, alternative and decision.

Are mistakes bad in the speaking exam?

Individual mistakes are normal. Being understandable, responding appropriately and completing the task matter more than complex perfect sentences.
