Work through the German examples, attempt the exercises before opening the answers, and use the method in your own learning.




The idea
Use the official Goethe A1 preparation page for the correct exam and audience. Keep its tasks, recordings and solutions together. Try our separate short-message and polite-request exercises, then identify which skill needs work before attempting an official sample. Check current conditions with the provider.
Examples
- Ich heiße Ada.
- Ich wohne in Essen.
- Meine Telefonnummer ist null drei null, fünf vier zwei.
- Können Sie das bitte wiederholen?
- Ich möchte am Freitag kommen.
- Vielen Dank für Ihre Nachricht.
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.
Watch out
These three original exercises are not an official mock exam and do not predict a passing score.
