Basic level A1
Basic Level A1
The fundamental concepts and topics covered in German are referred to as being at the A1 level. It’s common to refer to the A1 level as a novice or beginning level. A1 level is the starting point for studying German. It uses language at a rather elementary level.
The first level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Language’s – A1 German.
The first level is A1, and many people believe that this level is quite elementary and that there isn’t much to learn there. But I believe we should examine in further depth everything you will study at the A1 level. Therefore, we will discuss the German A1 level below in steps. These levels were once common and created by the German Goethe Institute. Additionally, A1 addresses a few fundamental grammar concepts as well as how grammar is used in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in daily life.In order to fully understand A1, I’ll want you to read the entire paper. We’ll start out by discussing grammar.
Below are some themes covered by German A1 Grammar:
- Basic Phrases
- Numbers
- Articles (definite and indefinite)
- Singular and plural nouns
- Verbs and verb conjugation
- Possessive pronouns
- Sentence formation
- Trennbare verbs
- Modal verbs
- Interrogative sentences
- Cases
- Prepositions
- Partizip II (Past tense)
- Imperative sentences
- Negation
The Goethe Institute suggests a select few reference books, such as Tangram, Studio D, or Netzwerk (Netzwerk is now in use). In the future, some additional books from other Publications will also be suggested, but the majority of the books will include a nearly complete curriculum. Almost 80% of the material will be more or less, but very few items.
Let’s now discuss the content:
These books typically have 12 lessons covering the most prevalent subjects from our daily lives.
Lesson | Topics Covered |
Lesson 1 | How to introduce yourself, talk about yourself, and meet new people. requesting information such as their names, places of residence, nationalities, ages, and languages. |

As you can see, the German A1 curriculum generally covers all of your daily themes so that you will be able to survive on your own if you visit Germany for the first time. You get audio CDs with books. So your reading, writing, listening, and speaking are all covered in this course. After finishing the course, you will undergo test preparation sessions at the ASAP German Institute in Pune that are intended to help you prepare for the Goethe exam. You will complete a few practice exams during these study sessions, and after that, there will be a final exam at an ASAP Institute with a nearly identical format to the Goethe (Max Mueller Bhavan) exam. This will give you the confidence you need to take the Goethe exam after passing the ASAP exam.
