Learn German · Level A2
From single phrases to real conversations
A2 builds on what you already have. You move past fixed phrases into talking about the past, giving reasons and handling everyday business — without building every sentence in your head first.

Outcomes
What you'll be able to do after A2
At A1 you made yourself understood. At A2 you carry the conversation: what happened, why you think so, and what you actually mean.
-
Talk about the past
Say what you did at the weekend, how you ended up here and what your last job was. The Perfekt stops being an obstacle.
-
Give reasons and opinions
Not just what but why: weil, dass and obwohl let you explain a decision and disagree politely.
-
Handle appointments and admin
Move an appointment, describe a problem at the doctor's, follow up with an office, and understand the answer.
-
Travel and make plans
Book a hotel, ask about a delay, say where you're going and what happened on the way.
-
Talk about your work
Describe your tasks, your working day and your plans in language colleagues can follow.
-
Read and write what matters
Follow short articles and notices, and write a message or a simple email with a clear beginning and end.
Learning pathway
Your way through A2
A2 is the level where German starts paying you back. Vocabulary grows, but the bigger change is that your sentence structure stops holding you back.
-
Step 1 · from A1
The past tense and daily life
Perfekt, separable verbs, two-way prepositions. For the first time you can tell someone what happened, instead of only describing what is.
-
Step 2 · structure
Longer sentences, clearer reasons
Subordinate clauses, adjective endings, Konjunktiv II for polite requests. Your sentences get longer and stop sounding like a textbook.
-
Step 3 · on to B1
Completing A2
You consolidate everything and move up to B1, the level most often asked for by employers and immigration offices.
Common questions before starting
I did A1 somewhere else. Will that fit?
Yes. In the free trial lesson we check what's solid and what isn't, and start from there. No certificate needed. We simply listen to how you speak.
I stopped learning a while ago and forgot a lot.
That's normal, and it's not a reason to go back to A1. Passive knowledge returns quickly once you start speaking again. Your plan begins with whatever has gone shaky.
What does a lesson look like?
A lesson runs 50 minutes: 10 minutes warm-up and review, 20 minutes new material, 15 minutes speaking and practice, 5 minutes homework and feedback.
How long does A2 take?
It depends mostly on how often you learn each week. With two or three lessons a week and homework in between, students move quickly. Kristina went from A2 to B1+ in eight weeks at two lessons a week.
