What A1 means here
A1 is the first CEFR level, covering familiar words, simple expressions and basic everyday situations. Despiel offers selected vocabulary and sentence-building practice. Listening, speaking and connected writing need additional practice.
Start with noun articles
Choose der, die or das for a noun. For a short round, you can choose 10 questions and leave the timer off. Feedback shows the correct article. The button preselects A1; check the other settings before starting.
Set up A1 articlesConnect vocabulary with Memory
Match German words to their meanings. Five pairs make a manageable starting board. Choose speed or fewer moves as your goal. With German card language, a meaning is a short definition; card language stays fixed during the round.
Set up A1 MemoryBuild simple sentences
Arrange word tiles into a sentence. Think before submitting: your first answer counts. Afterwards you see a correct sentence, its translation and an explanation. The game accepts prepared valid alternatives rather than every possible formulation.

Questions and answers
Does this cover all of A1?
No. The games strengthen selected skills. They are not a complete course and do not certify your level or guarantee an exam result.
Does the button start a round immediately?
No. It opens settings with A1 selected. Review the remaining options and start yourself. An existing round keeps its original conditions.
Can I choose a harder level later?
Yes. Select A2 or a mixed set in the settings. There is no automatic placement test and you do not need a particular score to choose a difficulty.
