1-Minute German Typing Test

This 1-minute German typing sprint is ideal for daily warm-ups or quick accuracy checks before a formal study session. Focused on the most common German characters like ä, ö, ü, and the sharp S (ß), it helps reinforce proper finger placement on a QWERTZ or QWERTY keyboard. A quick burst test allows you to measure your baseline speed in APM (Anschläge pro Minute) without the fatigue of long-form reading. Many language learners use this short drill to build confidence in typing German special characters accurately. Once your baseline is established, try our German typing test 3 minutes or the deeper German typing test 5 minutes for endurance practice. You can also compare your speed to English using the English typing test 1 minute.
