What is a German A1 course?

A German A1 course is the foundational level for anyone starting their journey in the German language. It’s ideal for complete beginners or those with only basic exposure to German.

The A1 level represents the first step in language learning, based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). It equips learners with essential phrases to engage in simple everyday conversations.

How long does it take to learn A1?

Most people can reach the A1 level in around 150 hours of study. At Verstehen Sie Academy, you can achieve this within 60 to 150 structured learning hours, ensuring a solid foundation in the language.

Can I learn A1 by myself?

While independent learning can be beneficial, we at Verstehen Sie Academy believe that the best way to learn German is through a structured A1 course, led by a qualified native-level tutor. We also ensure a supportive environment to encourage real-life conversations and interactive practice.

What will you learn in a German A1 course?

In this course, you’ll learn:

  • How to introduce yourself in German.
  • How to tell the time using both digital and analog clocks.
  • How to give basic personal details, such as your job.
  • How to order drinks and food at cafes and restaurants.
