What it actually is

The Goethe-Institut publishes 260+ free exercises through its 'Deutsch für dich' community, plus learner apps, films, and — most valuable — complete practice papers with audio for every Goethe-Zertifikat level. If you're aiming at an official certificate, these are the definitive prep materials. The site is a sprawl of regional subsites, so bookmark the specific page you need; actual courses and exams are paid.
