How we verify

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

Beginner-friendlyNo logins, payments or coding needed. Low risk: paste the prompt and you should get something useful.

Outcome

Newly moved to Germany with little German, a poster had Gemini run through his Anmeldung (residence registration) appointment the night before: what he'd likely be asked, which words would come up, and what a landlord confirmation form is and why it matters. At the office he recognised words he'd seen, used Google Translate for the rest, and walked out with the stamped registration certificate.

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about anything important that's missing below. Keep them quick. Then do the task, checking in with me at the key points.

Goal: Prepare me for an official appointment in a language I don't speak well yet.

What I can give you (ask for whatever's missing):
- The appointment type and country
- Documents I have
- My language level

Rules:
- List the documents usually required, and point me to the official office's page to confirm.
- Role-play the appointment: ask me the likely questions in the local language, then explain them.
- Give me a short list of key words and phrases with pronunciation.
- Write two or three phrases I can show on my phone if I get stuck.
- If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: A document checklist, a practice dialogue, a word list and a few show-on-phone phrases.

You'll know it worked when: I arrive with every document and understand the main questions.

Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.
