The idea

Practise writing a fictional number from spoken groups, then compare all digits with the transcript. The number is invented for the exercise and is not a contact instruction. Read the task before the model. Identify the information you need, make your own attempt, and compare it with the specific evidence in the six sentences. The examples are learning material; follow your examination provider's current instructions when working on an official paper.

Independent practice and the official format

This is an original glotworld listening drill for learners preparing alongside Start Deutsch 1 / telc Deutsch A1 materials. It is not an official examination task, a complete mock paper or a score prediction. glotworld is not affiliated with the examination provider. Use the linked official material for the exact instructions, timing, audio and assessment criteria of your examination.

The page can use a synthetic German device voice. That is a reading aid, not the official exam recording; practise the real listening format with the provider’s audio as well.
