German A2, or the Elementary level, is the second stage of learning German where you can handle simple, routine tasks in daily life and communicate in familiar situations. At this level, you can understand frequently used expressions, describe your background and immediate surroundings, and use basic grammar to form more complex sentences about topics like family, shopping, and work. You will expand your vocabulary to about 1,000 words and learn past and future tenses. 

Requirements

• A completed A1 level is required. For the relevant grammar points, check my Intensive Course A1 content overview.
