A1 German is the first and most basic level of language proficiency according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). At this level, learners are introduced to essential vocabulary, simple grammar structures, and basic communication skills. Students learn to understand and use everyday expressions and phrases, such as introducing themselves, asking basic questions, and engaging in simple conversations about familiar topics. A1-level learners can comprehend slow, clear speech and read short, simple texts. This level serves as the foundation for more advanced stages, allowing learners to start communicating in German in everyday situations with limited fluency.
