The Diploma in French (DELF) A1 is an accredited and internationally recognized diploma that connects people from their first contact with French and evaluates their level in French from the beginning of their studies.
This course is aimed at absolute beginners in French as it starts the online learning process from scratch and assumes no previous knowledge or experience with French.
At level A2 (waystage), we will find the majority of descriptors stating social functions are to be found, like use simple everyday polite forms of greeting and address; greet people, ask how they are and react to news; handle very short social exchanges; ask and answer questions about what they do at work and in free time; make and respond to invitations; discuss what to do, where to go and make arrangements to meet; make and accept offers.
At level A2, we will also find the descriptors on getting out and about: the simplified cut-down version of the full set of transactional specifications in ‘The Threshold Level’ for adults living abroad, like: make simple transactions in shops, post offices or banks; get simple information about travel; use public transport: buses, trains, and taxis, ask for basic information, ask and give directions, and buy tickets; ask for and provide everyday goods and services.
