Questions

Good to know about A2

How is A2 different from A1?+

A1 is survival phrases; A2 is where you start stringing ideas together and talking about the past and future — the jump from words to real communication.

Is A2 enough for travel to France?+

A2 covers most tourist and everyday situations comfortably. For work or immigration you will want B1–B2.

Should I take the combined track?+

If you already have a target date, the A2 + B1 Track keeps momentum and saves 15% versus taking them separately.
