A1 English Level
Level A1 is for basic language users who can communicate in everyday situations using common expressions and simple vocabulary.
The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) categorizes and describes different levels of oral and written language skills, including English.
CEFR consists of 6 levels: A (basic user), B (independent user), and C (proficient user), each further divided into sublevels 1 and 2.
At this level, individuals can:
comprehend and utilize commonly used expressions and simple phrases in everyday situations.
introduce themselves and others, as well as ask and answer basic questions about personal information such as residence, possessions, and acquaintances.
engage in simple interactions as long as the other person speaks slowly and clearly and is willing to cooperate.
