Unit 10 · Ready for the exam!
Write a short message: you cannot come tomorrow. Give a reason and suggest a new time.
Nine units of German become exam points here. Unit 10 walks through both A1 exams: the Goethe-Zertifikat Start Deutsch 1 and the ÖSD Zertifikat A1.
Then it:
- decodes the instruction words
- builds your Formular and Mitteilung routine for Schreiben
- turns Stichwortkarten and Handlungskarten into ready-made sentences for Sprechen
- re-drills every grammar trap from Units 1–9 — now including the three cases studied here (der, den, dem)
The final lesson is the course checkpoint: the full Gesamtprüfung as a mock exam, in both exam variants.

CEFR describes language levels. Goethe and ÖSD set their own exam formats. This independent course offers practice, and AI feedback is an estimate rather than an official result.
