Language Level A2

Listening
I can understand phrases and the highest frequency vocabulary related to areas of most immediate personal relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local area, employment). I can catch the main point in short, clear, simple messages and announcements.
Reading
I can read very short, simple texts. I can find specific, predictable information in
simple everyday material such as advertisements, prospectuses, menus and timetables and I can understand short simple personal letters.
Spoken Interaction
I can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar topics and activities. I can handle very
short social exchanges, even though I can’t usually understand enough to keep the conversation going myself.
Spoken Production
I can use a series of phrases and sentences to describe in simple terms my family and other people, living conditions, my educational background and my present or most recent job.
Writing
I can write short, simple notes and messages relating to matters in areas of immediate needs. I can write a very simple personal letter, for example thanking
someone for something.
