It is offered by the Goethe-Institut worldwide and accepted by German authorities, employers and universities as proof of A2 language ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This post explains what the exam looks like, what you need to pass and how to prepare if you are starting from A1 or working through the A2 level now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who takes the Goethe A2?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>People who need official proof of A2 German for immigration, family reunification (spouse visas usually ask for A1, but check what your case requires), or a work permit<\/li><li>Learners who want a recognised milestone before continuing to B1<\/li><li>Ausbildung applicants whose employer asks for written proof of German level<\/li><li>Students preparing for higher exams who want to check their progress with an official certificate<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re deciding which level to take, see <a href=\"\/blog\/telc-b1-vs-dtz-vs-goethe\/\">which German exam to choose<\/a> for a comparison of the main exam types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exam structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Goethe A2 tests all four language skills. The written exam (Reading, Listening, Writing) takes about <strong>90 minutes<\/strong>, plus a speaking exam of about 15 minutes, usually taken in pairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Module<\/th><th>Duration<\/th><th>Maximum points<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Reading (<em>Lesen<\/em>)<\/td><td>30 min<\/td><td>25 points<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Listening (<em>H\u00f6ren<\/em>)<\/td><td>approx. 30 min<\/td><td>25 points<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Writing (<em>Schreiben<\/em>)<\/td><td>30 min<\/td><td>25 points<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Speaking (<em>Sprechen<\/em>)<\/td><td>approx. 15 min (pairs)<\/td><td>25 points<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><td><strong>100 points<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Timings are approximate; check the current Goethe-Institut exam description before your booking.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reading (Lesen)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four parts covering:<br>\n&#8211; Short, everyday texts: notices, advertisements, signs, timetables<br>\n&#8211; Simple messages: short emails, text messages<br>\n&#8211; Matching tasks and multiple choice<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The texts are the kind a traveller or newcomer in Germany would encounter: a shop notice, a short message from a neighbour, a schedule. You do not need a large vocabulary, but you must extract the right information quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listening (H\u00f6ren)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four parts covering:<br>\n&#8211; Short recordings of everyday conversations or announcements<br>\n&#8211; True\/false or multiple choice questions<br>\n&#8211; Clear, natural speech at a moderate pace<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Topics: travel, everyday services, appointments, simple instructions. In the official sample test, some parts are played twice and others only once \u2014 the instructions tell you which.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Writing (Schreiben)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two tasks:<br>\n&#8211; <strong>Part 1:<\/strong> A short text message (about 20\u201330 words) \u2014 for example telling a friend you&#8217;ll be late and why<br>\n&#8211; <strong>Part 2:<\/strong> A short email or message (about 30\u201340 words) \u2014 replying to a message, accepting or refusing an invitation, asking for something<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The writing is short, but it must be complete, correct in structure and address all the points in the prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speaking (Sprechen)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three parts, usually done with a partner:<br>\n&#8211; <strong>Part 1:<\/strong> Asking and answering simple personal questions using word cards (name, origin, job, hobbies, family)<br>\n&#8211; <strong>Part 2:<\/strong> Talking about yourself and your life on a given topic, then answering a follow-up question<br>\n&#8211; <strong>Part 3:<\/strong> Planning something together with your partner \u2014 for example finding a time to meet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The oral exam is the part most learners find stressful, because it is done with an examiner present. At A2, the bar is low \u2014 you need to communicate the point, not speak perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passing score<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Goethe-Institut&#8217;s exam regulations, you pass the Goethe A2 with <strong>at least 60 points out of 100 overall<\/strong>, and you must take all parts. Of these, at least <strong>45 of the 75 points must come from the written exam<\/strong> (Reading, Listening, Writing) and at least <strong>15 of the 25 points from the speaking exam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike the modular B1, the A2 is assessed as one exam: within the written part, a strong reading score can make up for a weaker writing score, but a weak speaking result cannot be compensated by the written part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partial retakes (only the written or only the oral exam) are possible only in exceptional cases at some centres \u2014 check the current Goethe-Institut regulations when you book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What A2 German actually looks like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At A2, the Goethe-Institut expects you to:<br>\n&#8211; Understand sentences and frequently used expressions about topics directly relevant to daily life (shopping, local geography, employment)<br>\n&#8211; Communicate in simple, routine tasks requiring only a simple exchange of familiar information<br>\n&#8211; Describe your background, immediate environment and matters of immediate need in simple terms<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the level at which you can handle very predictable situations \u2014 but you will still struggle with fast speech, unusual topics or complex grammar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practise your German out loud with SipLingo, free to try on iPhone and Android:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"siplingo-store-badges\" style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;justify-content:center;align-items:center;gap:12px;margin:24px 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/id6783970183\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siplingo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/app_store.png\" alt=\"Download SipLingo on the App Store\" style=\"height:52px;width:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=ch.zgdevelopment.siplingo&amp;referrer=utm_source%3Dblog%26utm_medium%3Dpost%26utm_campaign%3Dgoethe-a2-exam%26utm_content%3Dbadge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siplingo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/play_store.png\" alt=\"Get SipLingo on Google Play\" style=\"height:52px;width:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparation plan (6\u20138 weeks from A1)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are already at a solid A1 level, 6 to 8 weeks of focused study is realistic for the Goethe A2.

The texts are not literary \u2014 they are practical. Focus on getting the key information fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Listening:<\/strong> Use A2 audio materials. The key skill is catching specific information (times, places, names), not understanding every word. Listen for numbers, dates and names first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Writing:<\/strong> Practise writing 20\u201340-word messages and replies. Use short sentences. Always address every point in the prompt \u2014 missing one usually costs more than a grammar error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Speaking:<\/strong> Practise parts 1 and 2 (questions about yourself, talking about your life) until they are automatic.

Then the exam arrives and part 3 (planning something together) feels unfamiliar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SipLingo&#8217;s everyday situations include the kind of short exchanges the A2 speaking exam tests \u2014 asking for information, making requests, introducing yourself. You practise by voice and hear your correction in your own language.<\/strong> That kind of daily repetition is what makes the speaking part feel easy by exam day. <a href=\"https:\/\/siplingo.com\/download?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=goethe-a2-exam&amp;utm_content=inline\">Try it free \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For how long it takes to reach A2, see <a href=\"\/blog\/hours-to-reach-b1-german\/\">how many hours to learn German to A2<\/a>.
