Course Description

1. What Is A2 (Second Level) in French?

The A2 level is part of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which classifies language skills from A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery)

An A2 learner should be able to:

• Understand and use frequently used expressions related to daily life—personal and family information, shopping, employment, basic geography

• Participate in simple, routine exchanges, provided the conversation is clear and direct 

• Describe in simple terms aspects of their background and immediate environment 

Certain certifications like the DELF A2 correspond to this level, and these diplomas are valid indefinitely
