Unit 10 · Ready for the exam
Practise an exam-style conversation: answer a personal question and ask a related follow-up.
Nine units of German meet the exam here. Unit 10 walks through both A2 exams — the Goethe-Zertifikat A2 and the ÖSD Zertifikat A2 — with their parts, times, points and pass rules, then gets your writing, speaking and grammar ready for them.
- Exam formats: Goethe (Lesen, Hören, Schreiben, Sprechen) and ÖSD (written and oral exam)
- Writing: greeting and closing, every content point, the word range
- Speaking: opinions, suggestions, asking again, reacting to your partner
- Grammar: comparison, adjective endings, and one more pass over the classic traps
Checkpoint: the full Gesamtprüfung.
