A2 Reading Comprehension: Text Types
In the compréhension des écrits for A2 you'll find classified ads, invitation cards, informal emails, activity programmes, and short magazine articles. Texts are longer than at A1 and require you to grasp both the main idea and specific details.
Key Grammar for the DELF A2
The A2 level requires solid control of the passé composé (j'ai mangé, je suis allé), the basic imparfait (quand j'étais enfant), the futur proche (je vais voyager), comparatives (plus, moins, aussi... que), and direct/indirect object pronouns (COD and COI).
A2 Speaking: How to Prepare
In the production orale A2 you need to narrate a past event, describe a picture, or talk about your own experiences. Practise answering questions about your past: "Qu'est-ce que vous avez fait le week-end dernier?" "Comment était votre enfance?"
