We advise you to go through the first 50 out of 100 recommended phrases for an interview at the German Embassy again. We cannot guarantee that you will be asked exactly this, but these are the phrases that will come in handy anyway!

Have you had any experience with such an interview? Tell us in the comments to the article! The second part of the list you will find

Language tests are carried out as part of the general admission procedure and serve to establish German nationality. The Federal Administrative Office, during the examination of applications, decides who to invite to take the language test, taking into account the data specified in the applications for admission and the documents available. As a rule, a letter with an invitation to the test is sent to an authorized person in Germany, who passes the invitation to the applicant at the place of residence. For applicants who have not indicated an authorized person, a letter is sent through the foreign mission of Germany at their place of residence.

Only applicants who have received an invitation from the Federal Administrative Office are required to take a language test. Applicants applying to foreign missions in Germany or as part of consular trips without an invitation may only be tested in exceptional cases.

To successfully pass the simple language test, the applicant must have sufficient passive and active knowledge of the German language. This means that the applicant can understand the questions asked during a simple conversation and answer them in German at least in simple words, preferably in a dialect.

Consideration of the application for admission can be continued only if the applicant has successfully passed the language test. The Federal Administrative Office points to this fact even in the invitation to the test. As is customary in the case of other administrative procedures, the applicant must, if necessary, take care of the reinstatement of the suspended procedure.

The legal basis for the test is the departmental instructions and decisions of the Federal Administrative Court (Bundesverwaltungsgericht), adopted in last years.

According to information from the Federal Administration Office (Bundesverwaltungsamt), the German language test is taken by high-ranking officials with good knowledge of general theory and rights familiar with the history of Russian Germans and the peculiarities of their dialects. The examiners are under the supervision of the FAV. Moreover, an official from the FAV has the right to come to the country of the examiner's activity to check how the exam is being conducted, what material is offered to the examiner, etc.

The course of the exam is standard. The official asks what language the examinee spoke as a child and where he learned German, what language was spoken and spoken in the applicant's house. You must be ready to answer these questions even when filling out the application form, so that the data in the questionnaire does not differ from the answers to the questions of the examining official. In the form, the applicant indicated his level of knowledge of the German language (according to his own assessment) and stated how this knowledge was acquired by him.

To obtain the status of a late immigrant, it is necessary that the applicant has acquired knowledge of the German language as a child, with his family. If he learned German at school or as an adult on courses, this cannot serve as a basis for recognizing him as a German.

The same applies to the question of the language of communication in a narrow family circle. According to a number of decisions of the Federal Administrative Court, persons of German nationality include those who not only speaks colloquial German, but also prefer to use it in everyday life. If the applicant says that he speaks German, but prefers to speak Russian, he may be refused.

Initially, the examiner has a casual conversation about the weather, the examinee's family, etc. The trustee is not eligible to participate in the exam, as well as other types of assistance to the examinee. If the examinee is in a state of strong nervous tension that prevents him from answering the questions, the exam may be postponed. Likewise, the exam can be rescheduled if the applicant falls ill.

The introductory part is followed by the main exam. The topic of the interview may be the examiner's profession, his biography, a more detailed story about his family, etc. Questions are asked in German, and the official notes in a form specially developed for this purpose whether the examinee understood their meaning and in what language - German or Russian - he answered.

Then the test results and the final conclusion of the examiner are entered into the form. He gives an assessment on three criteria: understanding of the German language, proficiency oral speech and dialect.

If the applicant speaks the language well enough (even after learning it in mature age, but without informing the official about it), problems usually do not arise. Proficiency in a German dialect speaks in favor of the subject - this is a strong argument that the applicant acquired knowledge in the family and prefers to communicate in it at home.

It is also advisable to attend German courses before the language test, since these courses will help the applicant to some extent acquire modern spoken German, especially if their family speaks a dialect. The better knowledge of the German language the applicant shows, the sooner a decision can be made to accept him in Germany.

Applicants with insufficient knowledge of spoken German must have a clear idea of which specific elements prove their German origin (knowledge of traditions, customs, cuisine, religion, folklore of the ancestral region of origin, which is usually inherited in families, preserved their German culture). In these cases, it is advisable to ask your older relatives or members of other German families living nearby. A good source of such knowledge is participation in folklore ensembles, membership in public organizations etc.

When passing the test and then checking the protocol, you should pay attention to the following:

When preparing for the exam, you have the right (according to the Administrative Decision Procedure Act) to bring with you a proxy who speaks good German. The trustee can act as a witness and draw the examiner's attention to important details that the applicant may overlook due to "examination fever". The witness can help the applicant, if necessary, to make a well-reasoned protest. All this can play a significant role if the official makes a negative conclusion for the applicant, which you have the right to appeal.

If the applicant does not fully understand the content of the examination protocol, it is never necessary to sign it. It is better to ask to translate the meaning of what was written for you (it may be that the applicant does not understand the examiner's handwriting). If the exam is not passed, it is necessary to remember if the applicant has a relative of the same age, who speaks very good German. Citing the existence of such a relative may help to justify the requirement to retest.

If the exam fails, the FAV usually refuses to recognize the applicant as a late migrant. In such a case, it is advisable to seek (if possible) that the applicant, together with his family, is included in the decision to accept parents or other direct relatives as a descendant (§ 7 BVFG).

The examination score cannot be challenged, however, the FAV's refusal to recognize the applicant as a late migrant can be appealed. The deadlines for filing a protest (Widerspruch) must be respected. If the appeal against the denial of recognition as a late immigrant was not crowned with success, the only way remains is to file a complaint with the administrative court on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany and try to prove that the course of passing the exam described in the protocol is significantly at variance with the facts. However, it should be remembered that the FAV assesses the degree of the applicants' proficiency in German less rigorously than the Federal Administrative Court.

If the family members of the applicant are not German by nationality, but have a very good command of German, they are eligible to apply and take part in a qualified language test. In this case, applications can be processed on an expedited basis. When doing this, consider the following:

When immigrating to Germany through the late immigrants (Spätaussiedler), one of the conditions for obtaining this status is to demonstrate knowledge of the German language. The law (§6 BVFG) allows you to do this by presenting a certificate of proficiency in German or passing a sprach test. Sprachtest is a linguistic test for passive and active language skills in German. Simply put, the candidate is tested for knowledge of free spoken German - this is one of the main conditions for obtaining the status of a repatriate.

Who passes the Sprachtest

The need to pass the German language test lies only with the main applicants, that is, those who applied for Antrag S for themselves. The Sprachtest is held exclusively for such persons, even if family members move with them to Germany. For the latter, compulsory knowledge of the German language is also provided, but at a basic level.

Detailed information on the requirements and procedure for obtaining the status of a late migrant is presented in the article: ““.

They can demonstrate it by presenting an A1 certificate or passing a shrachstand test.

Shprachtest for main applicants and shprachstandtest for relatives are two different tests, including the one required - for relatives it is much easier.

This is evidenced at least by the fact that applicants are required to show knowledge of spoken German (B1), while for relatives, only basic knowledge (A1) is sufficient.

How and where is the test done

An exam for late immigrants on the subject of their knowledge of the German language is held at the German embassy or consulate - an invitation for a shrachtest comes after the submission of documents and an entrag as a late immigrant.

The Sprachtest is not conducted in the form of an exam, but rather in the form of an interview, conversation with an employee of an embassy or consulate. The test is designed to check whether the applicant has enough language proficiency to maintain a complex dialogue on simple everyday topics: work, family, health, children, mood, household and so on. It could be about how long it took you to get to Moscow, about your dinner yesterday, or the political system currently in force in Germany.

The interview is conducted in a question-and-answer format. The applicant's answers should be as detailed as possible - this will show the level of his language proficiency with better side... Spontaneous, unpredictable speech and phrases are positively assessed - banal memorization of formulaic phrases is not enough.

The person being checked has the right to make grammatical mistakes and sometimes stumble: this is not critical if such mistakes do not affect the level of understanding of the thoughts expressed by him and do not interfere with communication.

It is important to understand that the language test at the embassy does not have any standards, and the examiner does not make a final decision. He only records on the form his own opinion about the level of knowledge of the candidate.

The final decision is taken by the Federal Administrative Office (BVA). The applicant will become aware of it in a few months after the shrachtest. If the answer is yes, the applicant will receive an “entry permit” (Aufnahmebescheid). After a successful interview, the law (§15 BVFG) precludes retesting the relocation candidate.

Take a sociological survey!

It is believed that the later settlers are ethnic Germans with a high level of knowledge of the German language. In practice, everything is different and the level of language knowledge of candidates usually leaves much to be desired. Therefore, it is worth preparing for an interview thoroughly and in advance.

Preparation for a shraft test may include:

... In large cities, it is not a problem to find German language courses specially adapted for passing the sprachtest. At them, specialists will share their own techniques, unique "chips" and experience that will allow the applicant to show himself from the best side. Experts analyze the protocols, update the database of questions and prepare applicants as soon as possible. Usually on such courses they promise in 3 months you can prepare a candidate for passing the test from scratch.
German lessons with a tutor. The whole point of preparing for a shrachtest is teaching spoken, everyday German, so a school teacher or university teacher will not be suitable for these purposes. On the thematic forums, it is not a problem to find tutors who are also preparing for the shprachtest. Many of them conduct classes online, for example via Skype. This is the most suitable option for those who need to undergo training as soon as possible, as it allows the tutor to pay maximum attention to the candidate.
Self-study. For example, searching for answers to sample questions, independently developing answers and speech structures, learning new words, learning from video tutorials, modeling your own behavior scenarios. You should not count on self-study without at least basic knowledge of the German language.
Language practice. Dialogues with native speakers, watching German films and TV series, singing German songs - any such practice will have a beneficial effect on the level of language proficiency. However, these can be additional classes - you should not neglect the basic preparation in the courses or with a tutor.

20 most popular questions of the sprachtest

It should be understood that it is almost impossible to predict the questions and the topic of your conversation with an embassy employee. Again, there are no standards for this (in any case, they are not disclosed). However, having studied the successful practice, we were able to identify the 20 most common questions that are asked to late settlers on the shprachtest.

We have omitted primitive questions like "what is your name" and "how old are you." Knowing the answers to them goes without saying and is assumed, otherwise you simply have nothing to do on the shrachtest.

Of course, there is no guarantee that any of the questions described below will be asked just for you, but it is still worth knowing the answers to them.

What to do if it was refused based on the results of the shrachtest

Do not despair if you failed to pass the shrachtest the first time. The previous rule, according to which the exam was passed only once, has been canceled: in 2019 and later, you will be able to take the shprachtest an unlimited number of times.

True, a second interview is possible no earlier than 6 months after the previous results were received. This time will be enough to fully prepare.

If you think the refusal was wrong, you have the option of filing an appeal with the BVA.

The chances of success are low, since in the overwhelming majority of cases the administrative department sends a repeated refusal, but this gives the applicant the right to appeal the decision of the department to the German Regional Administrative Court (Verwaltungsgerichte).

The documents and the complaint itself must be submitted to the administrative court no later than one month after receiving the repeated refusal. Considering this, one should not rely on mail: with its help, documents, most likely, will not have time to reach the court.

It is most advisable to use the services of a representative in Germany, who will not only submit documents, but also represent the interests of the applicant in court.

In a judicial proceeding, the chances of a successful decision are much greater. If the court overturns the BVA's decision, the agency will be required to issue a permit for both a late immigrant.

Conclusion

Thus, the sprachtest is the most important stage in obtaining Spätaussiedler status - the possibility of moving to Germany will depend on its results, with other formal correspondences. The test is carried out at the German embassy and is designed to test the applicant's ability to communicate freely on everyday topics in German, therefore, it assumes a very high level of knowledge of the language.

Those who failed to complete the full training and who, as a result, failed to pass the test, can take it again or appeal its results to the BVA and a German court.

Spur test for immigrants with a native German speaker: Video

When moving to Germany under the article of a late immigrant, it is necessary pass the splash test at the German embassy... Sprachtest tests the proficiency of spoken German. The conversation with the embassy employee is on everyday topics. For example, he may ask what you came to the meeting, where you were on vacation the summer before last, or what you know about the German political system. Following the interview, the embassy employee decides whether you speak German well enough. Sprachtest must be passed the first time, because otherwise you will only find out after six months that you have failed the interview.

We hand over Shprachtest together

If you do not pass the shrach test in Moscow or another city, you can take the language exam at the Goethe Institute and get the Goethe Zertifikat B1, but this is more difficult. I talk about this in detail in another article. Here I will tell you how the preparation for the shrachtest is going on at the embassy.

Preparation lasts from 2 weeks to 3 months. The exact preparation time depends on your current level of German and your learning speed. From the zero level of knowledge, you will need 2-3 months to prepare with your active participation. In the classroom, I focus on everyday spoken language and simple grammatical structures, as well as give ready-made speech patterns. We work through all possible interview scenarios in detail and train them many times in the lesson.

Preparation for Shprachtest

You get ready-made "Chips" with the help of which you will be able to show your best side on the sprachtest in Moscow or another city, even if the interview suddenly did not go according to plan. When evaluating your interview, a lot of attention is paid to free and spontaneous speech. That is why I teach everyday German. Just memorizing ready-made phrases is not enough to successfully pass the sprach test at the German embassy.

How to pass Shprachtest

I analyzed the lists of questions that are most often asked when passing the Shprakhtest exam in Moscow and other cities. For example, one of the most common questions is "Do you often visit Moscow?" or "Do you know how to get to the German Embassy in Moscow?" Many useful and important questions have accumulated in my knowledge base, to which it is necessary to give correct detailed answers. You will learn all this by taking a training course at my school.

I am also often asked the question - is it possible to retake the Sprachtest again, if, for example, the test was passed earlier and was refused. I can say for sure that since 2013 you can retake the test for the embassy. Until 2013, if you did not pass the shrach test, then you did not have a second attempt and you were deprived of any opportunities to move. Now the situation has changed radically. Today, you can retake the test several times until you get the required score on the exam.

If you want to know in more detail how pass the Sprachtest, sign up for a free initial consultation... On it you will learn a lot of useful things about preparing for a shrachtest and you will be able to avoid many mistakes later. I will be glad to help you in your great endeavor!
