The knowledge at level A1 is broadened to reach the initial A2 level.

Students learn simple phrases that enable them to cope with everyday and simple language tasks as independently as possible.

• Students can largely communicate independently in simple, routine situations and express common facts using a series of sentences. However, conversation is dependent on statements and questions being repeated and rephrased more slowly if they are not understood.
• The students are at the initial A2 level.
• Students can use simple linguistic structures and some grammar rules correctly.
