Let's start below
At A2 proficiency—or “Elementary” level—you can take part in everyday small talk and express your opinion, but still in very simple ways, and only on familiar topics. At this stage, you will start to really explore the past and future tenses, diving into your history (“Before I came here, I lived in Italy”) and your ambitions (“In the next 5 years, I am going to start my own company”). You will still probably only have very short exchanges and need to rely on a native speaking partner to drive the conversation. However, the native speaker’s experience with you will be far easier than with an A1 user!
When you reach A2, you should have a working vocabulary of about 1500 words, plus a solid understanding of grammar. It takes approximately 180-200 hours of studying English to pass the A2 Cambridge examination.
Learning a new language is a long process of acquiring knowledge and sharpening skills. Just diligently study and practice without too concentrating on the exams as the score or grade is merely the evident outcome of the ceaseless progress. Just focus on how to learn so that you can use the language fluently and confidently. So, let’s begin learning whatever you like below and persevering with them.
