What A1 means

A1 is the first level of the CEFR. After A1 you can introduce yourself and others, ask and answer questions about where you live, people you know and things you have, and talk in a simple way if the other person speaks slowly and clearly. Many family reunification visas to Germany ask for A1, shown with a certificate such as Goethe-Zertifikat A1 or telc Deutsch A1.
