Payment and Subscriptions

How can I subscribe on the website?

If you do not yet have a subscription or paid access, you can visit this page https://deutsch-vorbereitung.com/payment.html to learn about our offer and choose the plan that suits you best.

Is the subscription renewed automatically?

If you have chosen a monthly subscription (for €5.99 or €7.99 per month) paid via PayPal, it will be renewed automatically each month until you cancel it. However, if you purchased one month of access for €9.99 and paid by credit card or another method, the access is valid for exactly one month from the date of payment. In this case, the access is not renewed automatically.

I would like to purchase access for only one month without automatic renewal, but pay with PayPal.

Yes, of course. You can purchase one month of access for €9.99 and choose PayPal as your payment method. You can also subscribe monthly for €5.99 or €7.99 with PayPal. At any time before the next charge (one month after subscribing), you can cancel the subscription, and no further charges will be made.

How can I cancel my subscription?

For those who have subscribed monthly for €5.99 or €7.99, there are two options:

  • In your personal area on our website, you will find the details of your subscription, including a link to cancel it.
  • In your PayPal account, you can also manage and cancel your monthly subscriptions.

I don’t see a cancellation link for the subscription in my account.

There are two possible reasons:

  • If you purchased the one-month access for €9.99, it does not renew automatically, so no cancellation is required.
  • Your subscription may already have been cancelled – for example directly on the website or in the PayPal app.

Can I get an invoice and pay by bank transfer?

No, we only accept online payments available on our website. If you go to the subscription page and select the one-month access for €9.99 with credit card, you will see the full list of available payment methods on the checkout page.

How much does a subscription cost per month?

Are there promotions or discounts on the website?

Yes, we have several attractive offers:

  • After free registration, you will receive a personal promo code in your account. You can share this with friends and acquaintances. Your friends will get a 10% discount. If you refer 3 friends with your promo code, you will receive 1 month of free access.
  • Additionally: If you are a German teacher preparing your students for exams, you can receive free access by contacting us via email: [email protected]

I don’t like your website and I want a refund.

Within one week after purchasing access, you can contact us by email ([email protected]) and we will refund your payment.

I paid for a subscription, but I still cannot use the website. It says that I need to pay again.

This can happen in two cases:

  • You are not logged in to the website.
  • You have exceeded the limit of 3 allowed devices per account.

A “device” is counted as a combination of device type + operating system type + operating system version. It may happen that automatic updates were installed on your devices, causing the system to no longer match. In this case, please send us an email, and we will solve the problem.

I only need access for one or two weeks. Can I pay for a subscription partially?

No, the minimum subscription period is one month.

I paid for the subscription with explanations, but after payment the explanations are not displayed. Why?

This is probably due to the cached browser data. What you can do:

  • Log out and log in again.
  • Try logging in via incognito mode or a different browser.
  • Log in on another device.

If none of this helps, please contact us by email ([email protected]) and we will fix the problem.

I want to extend my subscription. What do I need to do?

If you have a subscription for €5.99 or €7.99 with PayPal and it is active, it will be renewed automatically. If you purchased the one-month access for €9.99 or cancelled your current subscription, you need to wait until the access ends and then purchase a new subscription.

Exercises and Tests

What exactly is the difference between the B2 General Exam and the Telc B2 Exam? Could you please explain whether there are differences in the exam structure, the subject areas, or in the recognition of the certificates?

First, a short clarification: “Allgemein” is simply the designation for the general exam format in the telc series. It is therefore not another company and not a completely separate exam.

Within the telc structure, there are two main areas:

  • telc Deutsch … Allgemein – general exams for everyday life and studies
  • telc Deutsch … Beruf – job-specific exams with a focus on workplace language.

Why do you find the sections “telc” and “Allgemein” on the website?

Many users search either for the term telc or for Allgemein. That is why we have created both sections – with the same materials – to make the search easier.

Specifically to your question: There are no significant differences in structure or level of difficulty between the telc Deutsch B2 Allgemein exam and the telc Deutsch B2 exam. Both correspond to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). There are only minor differences:

  • Name: “B2 Allgemein” highlights that it is not a specialized exam (e.g. medicine or professional).
  • Exam structure: The parts (reading, listening, writing, speaking) are the same, differences may only appear in the texts or topics.
  • Topics: In “Allgemein”, more everyday and social issues are covered, while e.g. “B2 Beruf” focuses more on professional language.
  • Recognition: Both certificates are equally recognized in Germany and other countries.

This means: If you want to take the general exam, you can practice in both the “telc” and “Allgemein” sections – the material is identical and belongs to the general telc format (not Beruf). You choose the appropriate level area (B1 or B2) depending on your goal.

Thus, both certificates have the same value for studies, work, and everyday life.

Can you adjust the playback speed of the audio in the listening comprehension? I would like to make it slower.

With us, you cannot change the playback speed. The speed of all audio files in the listening section corresponds as closely as possible to the real exam.

Why are there constant background noises and other sounds in the listening exercises?

The reason is that the audio recordings are made to be as close as possible to those used in the exam. They also contain such background noises.

Games

Where can I find group games for learning words?

In the website menu, open the section “Games” – https://deutsch-vorbereitung.com/der-artikel-spiel-1.html. At the top, there is a “Group Games” button. To create a group game, you must be logged in to the website. After creating the game, you can send the link to your friends or acquaintances in any convenient way. To join the game, they do not need to register.

Can I play alone, without a group?

Yes, there is a “Single Games” mode where you can practice words on your own.

Are the games on the website free?

Yes, the sections Games, Grammar, as well as the exercises for the Citizenship Test are completely free of charge.

I keep having problems or errors in the games, can you help?

If you encounter problems in the games, please write us an email at [email protected], explaining what exactly is not working properly, and we will do our best to investigate and fix the issue.

CVs and Motivation Letters

Do you have samples of motivation letters?

No, we do not provide such samples, because a motivation letter must be written individually for a specific position and based on your experience. On our website (https://deutsch-vorbereitung.com/letter.html) you can enter your experience or simply upload your CV, specify the position, or copy and paste a job ad from the internet – and our assistant will write the perfect motivation letter for you.

Is creating CVs and motivation letters on the website a paid service?

For each registered user, we provide the free option to create 1 CV and 3 motivation letters. This is more than enough to evaluate the quality of the service. You can purchase additional ones by selecting the package that best suits you, based on the number of CVs and letters.
