New DET Speaking Question? Here’s What You Need to Know
May 13, 2025 11:00 am
Hi, Teacher Luke here!
You might have noticed something new pop up on the DET practice test recently... A brand new speaking question 👀
🎥 Watch me answer it here on DET READY VIP: https://vip.detready.com/c/det-news/
Here’s a quick heads-up: This question isn’t part of the official test just yet—but it’s likely coming soon.
From what I can tell, it will probably be called “Interactive Speaking.”
Here’s what I know so far:
- You’ll take part in a conversation with a Duolingo character
- You’ll be asked 8 questions on 1–2 topics (like communities, stress management, etc.)
- You’ll have 35 seconds to answer each question
- You’ll need to elaborate on your answers—not just give short replies
- You’ll be assessed on: grammar, vocabulary, coherence, fluency & pronunciation
This one’s all about showing your speaking and conversation skills—so don’t hold back.

I’ll be making more lessons and updates on this new question as soon as I learn more.
