A1 is the beginner level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
It is designed for learners who are completely new to German.
At this stage, you learn to understand and use simple everyday expressions, communicate in familiar situations, and introduce yourself and others.
🧭 Learning Goals (Can-Do Skills)
