The idea
Record the corrected date and identify which other arrangements stay the same. Listen to the whole message before fixing your answer. 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 A2 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.
