Below are original practice questions in the same style for all four parts, with answers, plus the link to the free official sample paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are our own exercises, written to match the task types. They are not copies of any Goethe paper, and they do not replace the official materials. Task formats are taken from the official model paper, as of October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the real exam is built<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before practising, know what you are practising for.

Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mein Name ist Pedro Alves. Ich komme aus Portugal, aus Porto. Ich wohne in Z\u00fcrich. Ich spreche Portugiesisch, Englisch und ein bisschen Deutsch. Ich arbeite als Pfleger. Ich spiele gern Fu\u00dfball.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(My name is Pedro Alves. I come from Portugal, from Porto. I live in Zurich. I speak Portuguese, English and a little German. I work as a carer. I like playing football.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also be ready to spell your name: &#8220;Alves, A-L-V-E-S&#8221; and say a phone number in pairs of digits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 2: question cards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You get a card with a theme word and a question word. Practice pairs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Card<\/th><th>Question you form<\/th><th>Possible answer<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck?<\/td><td>Was essen Sie zum Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck?<\/td><td>Ich esse Brot und K\u00e4se.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wochenende?<\/td><td>Was machen Sie am Wochenende?<\/td><td>Ich besuche Freunde.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Uhrzeit?<\/td><td>Wann stehen Sie auf?<\/td><td>Ich stehe um sieben Uhr auf.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Familie?<\/td><td>Haben Sie Geschwister?<\/td><td>Ja, ich habe einen Bruder.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hobby?<\/td><td>Was ist Ihr Hobby?<\/td><td>Mein Hobby ist Kochen.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rule: form a full question (question word, then verb, then subject: &#8220;Was essen Sie?&#8221;) and answer in a full sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 3: requests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You see a picture of an object or action and make a polite request. Practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fenster: &#8220;K\u00f6nnen Sie bitte das Fenster aufmachen?&#8221;<\/li><li>Wasser: &#8220;Kann ich bitte ein Glas Wasser haben?&#8221;<\/li><li>Stift: &#8220;Haben Sie einen Stift f\u00fcr mich?&#8221;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the answers: &#8220;Ja, gern.&#8221; \/ &#8220;Nat\u00fcrlich, hier bitte.&#8221; \/ &#8220;Tut mir leid, das geht leider nicht.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practising the speaking tasks alone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silent reading will not prepare you for part 1 to 3. You need to hear yourself speak. With <a href=\"https:\/\/siplingo.com\/download?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=goethe-a1-sample-questions&amp;utm_content=inline\">SipLingo (our app)<\/a> you can run the introduction and request patterns above as spoken conversations with an AI partner, and get corrections on grammar and word order in your own language. It is a speaking-practice tool only; use the official sample paper for the written parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use these questions: a weekly routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Day 1:<\/strong> H\u00f6ren exercises, twice. Note which words you missed.<\/li><li><strong>Day 2:<\/strong> Lesen and the matching tasks, timed at 25 minutes.<\/li><li><strong>Day 3:<\/strong> Schreiben, two messages of about 30 words. Check them against the checklist.<\/li><li><strong>Day 4 and 5:<\/strong> Speaking, out loud, with a partner or an AI.

German exam?<\/strong><br>\nPrepare on the exam format, not only on vocabulary: time yourself, check your answers, and practise speaking with another person or a voice tool until the introduction is automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What should I learn in A1 German?<\/strong><br>\nIntroductions, numbers, dates and times, family, food and shopping, the present tense
