Speaking in Slovak — practice for the oral part of the A2 exam

Holidays and traditionsWhy the oral part deserves the attention
The oral part is compulsory, and only candidates who pass the written part reach it. It is also the part people prepare for least — it has no published model test and is commonly not practised at all.
What we do know from the Ministry’s specification of skills: the candidate should manage simple, direct exchanges of information on familiar topics and use "a series of phrases and sentences to give a simple description of family and other people, living conditions, education and work". The topics here cover exactly that ground: family, housing, work, study, your day, your town, your plans.
A connected answer at A2 is not a speech. It is three or four simple sentences per point of the task, joined with words like najprv, potom, lebo, preto, ale. Learning those connectives alone makes you sound markedly more assured.
How this practice works
You can type your answer or record it — the recording is transcribed and assessed by an AI system. You get points, a list of mistakes and a model answer, so you can see what your answer was missing.
Our rubric is out of 27 points across four areas: task completion, grammar, vocabulary and fluency. It is our practice scale, not the exam’s — the exam is passed with at least 70 % of the total points across the written and the oral part together.
Common questions
How long should I speak?
No single duration is published, and across centres the oral part runs from a few minutes to twice twenty minutes including preparation. In practice, focus on covering every point of the task rather than on length.
Can I speak from notes?
In practice yes, and it is worth it at the start. Then shorten the notes to three or four key words, so that you can speak without them on the day.
Is this the official exam format?
No. No model test is published for the oral part, so our tasks are a reconstruction based on how centres describe it and on the Ministry’s specification of skills.
