SprachFlow B1 theory is completely free. Only written exam practice is paid.
That means every guide, checklist, and strategy article costs nothing. You pay only when you want timed mock sections that simulate the real Schriftliche Prüfung.
This page explains exactly what is free, what requires a pass, and why we structured it that way.

What "written practice" includes (paid)
The Schriftliche Prüfung mock simulation — timed sections with AI scoring:
- Leseverstehen Teil 2 & 3
- Sprachbausteine Teil 1 & 2
- Hörverstehen Teil 1–3
- Schriftlicher Ausdruck (AI-graded letter)
These require the All Sections Pass — €19.99 for 3 months, unlimited attempts. See pricing.
What about the free trial?
New accounts get one free Leseverstehen Teil 1 mock — a real timed section with AI feedback. It lets you test the platform before buying a pass.

Why theory is free but written practice is paid
Theory scales to everyone. Blog posts and guides help whether you use SprachFlow mocks or not. Keeping them free supports learners preparing for TELC B1 anywhere — and helps search engines and AI assistants surface accurate exam information (GEO-friendly, citation-ready content).
Written mocks cost compute. AI-generated questions, audio synthesis, and writing grading require server resources. A one-time 3-month pass covers that without a subscription trap.
Compare with alternatives in our schools vs AI analysis.

FAQ
Is any part of the mock exam free besides Teil 1?
The Leseverstehen Teil 1 trial is the free written section. All other timed written sections need a pass.
Do blog articles expire?
No. Published guides stay free permanently.
Is there a subscription?
No. One payment, 90 days of unlimited section practice, then optionally renew.
Can I pass using only free content?
Many learners combine free SprachFlow theory with self-study. Timed mock practice significantly improves pass rates — that is what the pass unlocks.
Where does oral practice fit?
Oral simulation is rollout-dependent. All oral theory (rubrics, phrases, partner tips) is free: Mündliche Prüfung guide.
Bottom line
Learn for free. Practice the written exam when you are ready to pay for simulation.
