The A1 level is designed for complete beginners. At this stage, the goal is to develop basic communication skills that allow you to interact in simple, everyday situations. It is the first step for anyone looking to work, study, or live in a French-speaking country. Core Skills at the A1 Level

According to the CEFR guidelines, a learner at the A1 level should be able to:

Understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type.

Introduce themselves and others, asking and answering questions about personal details such as where they live, people they know, and things they have.

Interact in a simple way, provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help. Key Topics in the A1 Curriculum
