Ellinomatheia A1 study guide

The Certificate of Attainment in Greek, Level A1 (Πιστοποιητικό Ελληνομάθειας Α1) is the first rung of the Greek state's proficiency ladder for non-native speakers. It certifies that you can handle very simple, everyday communication: introducing yourself, asking and answering basic questions about family, work, shopping, food, time and place, reading short notices and messages, and writing a few connected sentences. It is used by learners who want an externally recognised benchmark of beginner Greek, by people preparing for study or residence in Greece, and by heritage speakers rebuilding literacy. The exam is organised around five areas: listening, reading, written production, oral production and interaction, and language use (vocabulary and grammar in context). Topics on this exam: Listening comprehension (Κατανόηση προφορικού λόγου), Reading comprehension (Κατανόηση γραπτού λόγου), Writing / written production (Παραγωγή γραπτού λόγου), Speaking / oral production and interaction (Παραγωγή προφορικού λόγου), and Language use: vocabulary and grammar in context (Γλωσσική χρήση). The Ellinomatheia A1 study guide has 5 sections and about 2,003 words.
