Frequently Asked Questions — A1

No — A1 is a complete beginner level. We start from zero: the alphabet, basic greetings, numbers, and the simplest sentence patterns. No prior exposure to German is needed.
Both Goethe-A1 and telc-A1 are equally accepted for Au Pair visas and family reunification visas at the German Embassy in India. Bobby will advise you on which exam centre has availability closest to your city and best suits your timeline.
With our focused coaching, most students starting from zero pass A1 in 2–3 months. The Goethe-Institut estimates 80–100 total study hours for the A1 level. Our curriculum is designed to reach that standard efficiently.
All classes are conducted fully online in small group batches. Students from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and across India join the same batch. You need a stable internet connection and a device with a microphone for speaking sessions.
