The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR or CEF for short) is a standardised guide used to describe the performance of foreign language learners across Europe and beyond. At GermanMind, we naturally follow these guidelines in all our German classes and German courses.
How does it work?
Levels are divided into A1 for beginner, A2 for pre-intermediate, B1 for intermediate, B2 for advanced, C1 for advanced and C2 for master.
Like many other language schools, GermanMind divides these levels into two or more sections to accommodate students' time and budget planning (e.g. level A1 is divided into A1.1 and A1.2). This framework is one of the best for learning German for beginners.
To start with level A1.2, you should have basics knowledge of the German language.
What does this mean for you?
After completing level A1.2 you will be able to
understand and use familiar, everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at satisfying concrete needs.
introduce themselves and others and ask and answer questions about themselves, e.g. where they live, people they know and things they have.
communicate in a simple way, provided the other person speaks slowly and clearly and is willing to help.
