Arbete pågar - DRAFT - under construction
Listening | A2 - 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 geography, employment). I can catch the main point in short, clear, simple messages and announcements |
Reading | A2 (=A1) - I can understand familiar names, words and very simple sentences, for example on notices and posters or in catalogues. |
Speaking | A2 - 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. 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. |
Writing | A2 (=A1) - I can write simple isolated phrases and sentences. I can write a short, simple postcard, for examples sending holiday greetings. I can fill in forms with personal details, for example entering my name, nationality and address on a hotel registration form. |
