What a call with Saga is like

Everyday German, not test preparation

Every call is an everyday conversation: the bakery, the doctor, the neighbours, an appointment at the Bürgeramt, looking for a flat, plans for the weekend. Belong Germany Speak has no exam rehearsal and no presentation mode, on purpose.

German citizenship asks for German at B1, usually proven with a language certificate. Saga does not give one and does not rehearse any exam. What she gives you is time speaking German, at your own level, whenever you like.

The debrief after every call

When the call ends, Saga writes you a short debrief: what went well, each thing to fix with the better sentence, the new words worth keeping and one idea for next time. It is in the language your app is set to: English, Turkish or Arabic. The corrected sentences and the new words stay in German.

She also keeps a short note of what you talked about, how comfortable you seemed and the one or two mistakes that keep coming back, so your next call picks up where you left off.

What Saga is not

  • Saga is an AI and can make mistakes.
  • She is practice, not a prediction. She never says whether you will pass a test.
  • She is not a teacher and gives no certificate. For citizenship, B1 German is usually proven with a language certificate.
  • She gives no legal or immigration advice. The rules are what the Belong Germany tracker is for.

Price, phones and who it is for

What happens to your voice

During a call your voice goes from your phone straight to Google's Gemini, which listens and speaks Saga's replies. It does not pass through any server of ours, and we never receive or store any audio.

After the call, Anthropic's Claude writes your debrief and Saga's note. Our server does not keep the transcript. The note is at most 500 characters and is kept on our server in the EU. Forget what Saga remembers, on the You tab, deletes it, and everything is deleted once a year has passed without a call.

The full details are in the privacy policy at privacy.belonggermany.app.

Questions about Saga

Is Saga a real person?

No. Saga is an AI speaking partner. If you ask her, she says so.

Does Saga help with the Einbürgerungstest or a B1 exam?

No. Belong Germany Speak is everyday conversation only. It is not connected to any test and does not rehearse one. For the Einbürgerungstest, Belong Germany has practice questions. B1 German is usually proven with a language certificate.

Which level should I choose?

The one closest to how you speak today. A2 is short, simple sentences, spoken slowly. B1 is everyday talk a little slower than a native speaker. B2 is a natural, calm pace.
