Study decks

Greet people, introduce yourself, spell your name, and count to twenty — the exam’s very first task.

Count to a million, tell the time, read the calendar, and make an appointment — the numbers you need for the listening exam.

Talk about your family with haben and mein/dein — and fill in a German form, worth up to 5 points in A1 writing.

Order food and drinks, say what you eat — and meet the Akkusativ: einen, eine, ein and kein.

Shop for groceries and clothes, ask prices, pay cash or by card — and read the ads the reading exam loves.

Describe your apartment, crack the ad-abbreviation code, and find your way around the city — a key reading topic.

Tell your day with separable verbs, master können/müssen/wollen, and talk hobbies — classic speaking topics.

Buses, trains and tickets, station announcements, asking the way, and polite requests with the Sie-imperative.

Talk about yesterday with the Perfekt and war/hatte, name what hurts, and write a short excuse e-mail.

Both A1 exam formats decoded, the writing and speaking playbooks, and one last grammar check before the full mock exam.
