In a high-quality A2 German class, you will find several hallmarks, one of them being a Nebensatz mit weil, another being an ever-increasing ability to say the same thing in (at least) two different ways in German. You should be able to give your opinions on more topics.
If you've completed the A1 level and/or have passed the A1 test, if you have a decent (60%) handle on the Akkusativ and Dativ prepositions, if you can use the Perfekt correctly at least 60% of the time, and if you can correct use (and identify) the adjective endings in the Nominativ, Akkusativ, and the Dativ 60% of the time, you're ready for the A2 level.
Here's my unique take on the A2 level and how it applies to the new A2 class starting September 18th. which is still running and is now in the middle of the A2 book (Fall, 2025).
N.B. While the GermanWithNicole.com Podcast no longer exists, you can still hear all of the audios here on the blog. The audios are available on the blog posts published between August 1, 2021 and October 1, 2024. Viel Spaß beim Hören!
The Hallmark of A2 is that you learn to express one idea in at least two different ways in German. You must be able to get all the way to speaking.
You build out from A1 and you do it all in German.
You have to have a handle on all of the A1 material and/or passed the A1 test. There's no Genitiv here! Remember, too, we're going for progress, not perfection.
Take a look at the class information page (the 'sales page' in internet-lingo), and if it's right for you, well, then I look forward to meeting you!
