Sproochentest guide
Every Sproochentest Topic, and How to Prepare
The INLL publishes no official topic list. Here is the recurring set from test-taker reports, with what each covers and how to prepare.
One of the most common questions about the Sproochentest is simply: what will they ask me about? LëtzPass keeps a large bank of reported questions, and the same everyday topics come up again and again.
There is no official list. The INLL does not publish the topics, so the set below is compiled from recent test-taker reports rather than from an official source. It is a reliable map of what to prepare, not a guarantee of the exact subjects on your day.
What topics come up in the Sproochentest?
The oral interview covers everyday life at CEFR A2: where you live, your background, your routine, and your free time. In the interview the examiner offers two topics and you choose one. The recurring set below covers what learners actually report being asked.

How to prepare topics without memorising everything
You do not need a script for all seventeen. Most of them reward the same building blocks: a few sentences about your routine, your opinions, and your past. Build reusable vocabulary and two or three short personal stories, and you can reshape them across many topics. Then practise out loud with real questions, which you can find in our list of Sproochentest sample questions. Depth on the few beats shallow coverage of all.
