Course content: What will you learn?
The A2 German level consists of two modules — A2.1 and A2.2.
Both modules build on your existing knowledge and guide you step by step toward level A2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
After completing both modules, you will have all the language skills needed to express yourself confidently in familiar everyday situations and to successfully pass the A2 exam.
German A2.1 module
In the A2.1 module, you strengthen the foundations from your A1 course and learn to communicate more confidently and in greater detail in everyday situations. You practice talking about family, friends, leisure activities, work, and travel, understanding simple texts, and writing short messages or emails.
Your vocabulary expands noticeably, allowing you to express yourself more spontaneously and precisely. Grammatically, the focus is on the correct use of dative and accusative objects, prepositions with dative and accusative, the perfect tense, and the most important modal verbs.
You also learn to form subordinate clauses with weil and dass, as well as to compare adjectives. Your German becomes more fluent, structured, and practical for daily life.
German A2.2 module
In the A2.2 module, you further deepen your language skills and learn to hold longer conversations and use more complex sentence structures.
You work with topics such as travel, media, work, the environment, and celebrations, and you learn to express your opinion, describe experiences, and talk about past events. Grammatically, the focus is on reflexive verbs, verbs with prepositions, relative clauses, and temporal prepositions such as “vor”, “nach”, or “während”. You also practice using the perfect and simple past tenses confidently, as well as forming indirect questions.
After completing this module, your vocabulary will range from 1,500 to 2,000 words and you will be able to communicate confidently and fluently in everyday conversations — at work, while shopping, or when traveling.

FAQ
At the A2 level, learners can understand familiar topics, hold simple conversations, and communicate independently in routine situations. They are able to read short texts, write simple emails or messages, and understand information about everyday life, family, work, or leisure. They can also talk about experiences, describe plans, and respond spontaneously to questions. The A2 level is an important next step toward becoming more confident and fluent in German — both in everyday life and at work.
A2 German is the second elementary level according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and enables learners to communicate about familiar topics in a simple and understandable way.
Learners at this level understand commonly used expressions and sentences related to personal or everyday topics — such as family, shopping, or work. They can exchange information in a basic manner and participate in short conversations.
A2 builds the bridge between the beginner course A1 and the more advanced intermediate level B1, laying the foundation for independent communication in German.
The A2 German course test helps determine your current language level so you can start in the course that suits you best.
To maintain the high quality of our courses and ensure optimal learning progress, we ask you to set aside about 30 minutes for our placement test. The test is free of charge and will be sent to you after you submit a non-binding request.
Based on your results, we can assess whether A2.1 or A2.2 is the right starting point for you — ensuring that you benefit as much as possible from your course and learn exactly at the level that matches your skills.
With a solid A1 foundation and regular practice, the A2 German course is very manageable and leads to noticeable progress.
Although grammar and vocabulary become more extensive, clear learning structures, small groups, and practical exercises keep the course well-organized and motivating. Many participants find A2 particularly exciting, as it’s the first level where they can engage in longer conversations and express themselves much more freely in German.
A2 German is often sufficient for simple tasks, but it is usually the starting point for advancing to professional language levels such as B1 or B2.
After completing an A2 course, you can communicate in many everyday situations and handle basic tasks in a work environment — for example in service, logistics, or manual professions. However, for qualified or customer-facing roles, a higher language level is generally required. A2 provides the ideal foundation for this.
An A2 German course usually takes **6–16 weeks** — depending on the course intensity and your personal learning pace.
In an intensive course, you can typically reach the A2 level within **about two months**. If you are learning part-time or alongside your job, you should plan for **around four months**. What matters most is regular review and actively applying what you’ve learned in everyday life — this ensures that your language skills become solid and long-lasting.

German A2.1 Module Details

At DIALOG, we train the following core language skills with you (according to the CEFR):
Listen
Speak
Read
Write
Talking about everyday topics
At the beginning of the A2.1 German course, you learn to talk about various topics that relate to your personal life and help you with daily routines. You will be able to talk more about yourself, make plans with friends and family, and hold simple conversations.
You will finally be able to read and understand magazines, postcards, or brochures. Responding to emails or letters from your friends will no longer be a problem for you.
We use these topics to expand your vocabulary
Your grammar topics at level A2.1
Of course, the German language is not just vocabulary. In this part of the course, we also cover new grammar topics and deepen the ones you already know.
| Grammar topics A2.1 | |
|---|---|
| possessive article unser/euer | temporal preposition zwischen and temporal adverbs such as montags |
| Perfect and preterite (past tenses) | conjunctions weil/deshalb |
| accusative/dative local prepositions | declination of adjectives without articles (mit Nullartikel) |
| verbs which need accusative/dative local prepositions | conjunction dass |
| declination of adjectives after indefinite articles | reflexive verbs |

| temporal prepositions über/von..an | subjunctive II könnte/sollte |
| noun word formations | |
To help you solidify your understanding of German grammar, we explain all topics clearly and show you how to apply them in real-life situations. From experience, we also know that correctly using grammar in spoken conversation can be challenging. To counter this, we incorporate oral exercises and activities right from the start.
German A2.2 Module Details
In the second part, we also focus on your listening, reading, and writing skills in German. After completing the course, you will finally be able to talk about your German course in Vienna. For your next vacation, you’ll be able to book a hotel room on your own and tell friends about your travel habits or what you like to watch on TV.
These exciting topics await you…
Grammar topics A2.2
| conjunction als | local prepositions with Woher? |

| verbs with dative and accusative | positions of dative/accusative objects in a sentence | questions with Welch-? | demonstrative pronouns | the verb lassen |
| indirect questions with ob/wie lange and local prepositions gegenüber/an..vorbei/durch | conjunctions bis/seit(dem) |
| local prepositions with Wo?/Wohin? | relative pronouns in nominative and accusative |
| verbs with prepositions and prepositional pronouns | preterite |
Grammar is explained clearly through practical examples and reinforced with written and spoken exercises and activities. It is especially important to us to test and practice oral application as well, since this is typically the most challenging aspect for learners.
