    What Is CEFR Level A2?

    A2 is the second level of the CEFR framework. Known as "elementary", A2 represents the point where you can handle familiar, everyday situations in Spanish — not just isolated words and phrases, but genuine communication.

    By the end of A2, you'll be able to:

    • Talk about your past — what you did, where you went, what happened
    • Describe people, places, and experiences in detail
    • Handle most situations while travelling in a Spanish-speaking country
    • Read and understand short texts on familiar topics
    • Write straightforward emails and messages

    Should I Start at A2?

    Start at A2 if:

    • You've already completed A1 (either here or elsewhere)
    • You studied Spanish at school and remember the basics
    • You can introduce yourself and handle simple conversations but struggle with past tense
    • You know the present tense of common verbs and want to go further
