Students are introduced to German culture and traditions, with a strong emphasis on communication and increasing accuracy.

At this level, students begin to develop structured writing skills. They can speak about themselves and their families and ask and answer simple questions. Cultural learning continues alongside language development.
The goal of this level is preparation for the A1 exam, including the ÖSD KID A1.
