Today, we want to take you on a journey to the very beginning of our adventure with the English language at levels A0 and A1. This is where your journey with the language begins, and we would like to tell you what you can expect at the start of this remarkable journey.
What exactly is the A0 land A1 anguage level?
Level A0 is the first stage of learning English according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). This level is for complete beginners who have no prior experience with the English language. At this stage, we focus on building basic language skills, such as understanding simple sentences, everyday communication, and learning the alphabet and basic grammar.
Level A0 is typically intended for very young children. In our school, you can find special language classes for children, conducted in small groups of up to 8 students, designed to nurture a passion for learning English and other foreign languages from a very young age, investing in their future! For slightly older learners, we offer the A1 language level.
Level A1 of English is the second level of proficiency according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). A person at the A1 level can communicate in very simple and basic everyday situations. They have mastered basic vocabulary and sentences that enable them to ask for personal information and communicate in situations typical of tourism, shopping, and social gatherings. However, the ability to engage in deeper conversations or understand more complex texts is still very limited at this level.
How to Start Your Adventure with English or Another Foreign Language for Beginners (A1 or A0)
1. Grammar Basics and Vocabulary At the A0 level, students will learn basic grammar, such as forming simple sentences in the present tense, yes/no questions, and using modal verbs like “can” (to be able to) and “have to” (must). This is also the time when you’ll learn your first basic vocabulary, such as colors, numbers, days of the week, food, and other words necessary for daily communication.
2. Listening Comprehension At the A0 level, we take the first steps in listening comprehension. You will have the opportunity to listen to short dialogues and simple sentences to understand how the English language sounds in natural communication. This is an important stage as it allows you to get used to the sound of the language and understand basic expressions.

Speaking is also an important part of language learning, and teachers will pay attention to correct pronunciation and intonation, helping you build confidence in oral communication.
6. Learning Through Play Remember that learning English at the A0 level doesn’t have to be boring! Fun language games, songs, and interactive exercises will help you reinforce new vocabulary and language structures in an enjoyable way.
