Everyday Social Skills
You’ll be able to take part in short social exchanges with confidence, using polite greetings and forms of address. You’ll also feel comfortable making and responding to invitations, apologies, and other common social interactions.

Listening
You’ll be able to understand familiar phrases and expressions in everyday situations—like talking about family, shopping, local places, or work—especially when people speak slowly and clearly.

Reading
You’ll be able to make sense of short, simple texts, spotting common vocabulary and some words that are similar in other languages you might know.

Speaking & Interaction
You’ll be able to take part in simple conversations about everyday life and routines. You’ll share information about yourself, your hobbies, your work, or your free-time activities, and understand others when they do the same.

Speaking & Presenting
You’ll be able to:

  • Give short descriptions of people, daily routines, living or working conditions, and your likes and dislikes.

  • Talk about your family, your home, your education, and your current or most recent job.

  • Deliver a short, prepared talk on a familiar topic and answer simple follow-up questions, with the option to ask for repetition or a little help with your responses.

Writing
You’ll be able to:

  • Write short notes and messages for everyday purposes.

  • Put together simple sentences and link them with basic words like and, but, or because to share your ideas clearly.
