Aligned with the official Inburgering exam format

The Speaking AI Assistant uses task types that directly reflect the DUO test structure. At A2, this includes short spoken answers to direct questions and dialogue responses to everyday situations — the same practical speaking tasks you face on exam day in the Netherlands. At B1, tasks require more detailed and structured responses, including explanations, descriptions, and expressing your opinion with supporting reasons.

The AI feedback evaluates your speaking on the same dimensions as the Inburgering exam: pronunciation clarity, fluency, grammar accuracy, vocabulary use, and whether your response addresses all task requirements. While this is an approximate assessment (official scoring is done by DUO), it reliably identifies the areas where targeted practice will have the biggest impact on your exam performance.

Feedback
Grammar
Word order after 'omdat'. After "omdat" the verb moves to the end: "omdat ik een hond heb".
Fluency
Fewer filler pauses. Try to avoid long "ehm" pauses between sentences — take a short breath instead.
Vocabulary
Vary your connectors. Mix in "daarnaast" and "bovendien" alongside "en" to sound more natural.

Frequently asked questions

Is this official DUO feedback?

No. The Speaking AI Assistant is a practice tool for Inburgering exam preparation. It provides feedback to help you improve your spoken Dutch, but it is not affiliated with DUO and does not provide official exam scores. Official scoring comes from the actual DUO test. The AI feedback is designed to help you identify areas for improvement so you are better prepared on exam day.

Can I practise for both A2 and B1 level?

Yes. You can select whether you are preparing for the A2 or B1 level of the Inburgering exam in the Netherlands. The task types and feedback are aligned with the expectations for your chosen level — short answers for A2, and more detailed structured responses for B1.

What types of speaking tasks are available?

The Speaking AI Assistant includes tasks that reflect the official Inburgering exam format: short answers to direct questions, dialogue responses to everyday situations, and describing or explaining familiar topics. These are the same task types you encounter on the DUO test.

How accurate is the AI feedback compared to the DUO test?

The AI provides detailed and useful feedback on pronunciation, fluency, grammar, and content. It is an approximate assessment based on the Inburgering exam criteria. While it may not match the exact DUO scoring process, it reliably identifies the most important areas for improvement in your spoken Dutch.

Do I need perfect pronunciation to pass the Inburgering exam?

No. The DUO test assesses whether your spoken Dutch is clear and understandable — not whether you have a native accent. A foreign accent is completely acceptable. The AI feedback helps you identify pronunciation patterns that could affect clarity, so you can focus on the sounds that matter most for comprehension.

Do I need a microphone?

Yes. A built-in or external microphone is required to record your spoken responses. Most laptops, tablets, and smartphones have a built-in microphone that works well. For the best audio quality, use a quiet environment — just like you would want for the actual DUO test.

Do I need a subscription to use the Speaking AI Assistant?

You can try speaking practice for free to experience the feedback. A Pro subscription unlocks unlimited access to all speaking tasks, AI feedback, and your full practice history across all Inburgering exam sections.
