Learn about Spanish A1 Topics
CORE Languages follows the CEFR standard for teaching foreign languages. That means we are required to teach specific topics in each level. In order to make learning more manageable, we have broken each level down into 4 short courses.
GEFR Level: Spanish A1.1
- Level 1-1 is a course designed for the true beginner, someone who has had no previous experience with the Spanish language. It covers basic vocabulary, the differences between ser and estar, and verbs in the present tense. The activities in this level focus on helping each student to speak Spanish, using a controlled and limited vocabulary.
- Level 1-2 continues to focus on the present tense and teaches students how to use irregular verbs, prepositions, demonstratives and specialized vocabulary.
After completing these levels, you’ll be able to:
understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type.
introduce yourself and others and ask and answer questions about personal details such as where they live, people they know and things they have.
interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
CEFR Level: German A1.2
- Level 1-3 is an intensive study of the preterit tense. Object pronouns, reflexive and intransitive verbs are also covered in this level.
- Level 1-4 looks at the differences between the preterit and the imperfect tenses and helps students fine-tune their abilities to speak of past events.
After completing these levels you’ll be able to:
understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type.
introduce yourself and others and ask and answer questions about personal details such as where they live, people they know and things they have.
interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.

There are only two sets of endings for regular imperfect verbs in Spanish, one for -ar verbs and one for both -er and -ir verbs. To conjugate a regular verb in the imperfect tense in Spanish, simply remove the infinitive ending ( -ar, -er, or -ir) and add the imperfect ending that matches the subject.
The Spanish preterit tense is used to describe actions completed at a specific point in the past; whereas the imperfect is used to describe habitual or continuous actions in the past with no specific beginning or end. Some verbs require small changes when being conjugated in this tense.
