Having an A1 level means that you can communicate in a basic way in Spanish. You can introduce yourself, say your name, nationality, profession, where you live, or how old you are. You can also understand and use simple phrases related to immediate needs, as long as the other person speaks slowly and uses clear language.

A1 is part of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which organizes language learning into six levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.
