German A1 ToolKits

GERMAN A1 TOOLKIT

Everything you need to start learning German and get ready for the Goethe Zertifikat A1.

Struggling to learn A1? Starting from zero? Revising what you already know? This toolkit is for you.

The German A1 Toolkit is a 36-page PDF guide that puts the essentials of A1 in one place, in a clear order you can follow. It is built from tons of research, my own experience learning German, and what I learned in a linguistics school.
