The idea
Track the final quantity after a speaker changes an order. Listen separately for product, number and the item that remains unchanged. 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 Goethe-Zertifikat 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.

Read-aloud uses a synthetic German voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No German device voice is available. You can still read the text and use the linked listening resources.
