In conversations, topics such as travel and one's own hobbies, family and current events can be understood. Learners can report on experiences, describe their goals and justify their views. Grammar and language are generally used correctly. The learners understand simple texts on familiar topics. Writing simple, coherent texts is also possible. The vocabulary is still limited and refers primarily to everyday situations and one's own profession.
