A1 (Level) is the first stage of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). It indicates a beginner's ability to understand and use simple phrases and expressions. At this level, learners can introduce themselves, ask basic questions, and understand familiar everyday expressions. At A1, learners can communicate in simple ways, such as talking about their family, hobbies, and daily routines. They can also understand very basic written texts, like signs or menus. This level serves as a foundation for further language learning and helps build confidence in using the language in everyday situations.
