Information about the Telc A1 Listening Exam

The Telc A1 listening exam is an important part of the German A1 level language test. It is designed for learners with basic language skills and tests whether simple spoken language from everyday situations can be understood. The listening section helps you grasp real-life communication scenarios – for example, while shopping, on public transport, or during a phone call.

What to expect in the listening section?

The listening section lasts about 20 minutes and consists of 15 questions divided into three task types. All audio texts are played only once, which makes concentration especially important.

• Part 1: Short dialogues with multiple choice questions (a, b, or c)
• Part 2: Announcements or short monologues with true/false statements
• Part 3: Slightly longer listening texts with multiple choice or matching tasks

Common topics in the listening section

• Opening hours and appointments
• Directions and public transport
• Leisure time, restaurants, shopping
• Phone calls, invitations, or doctor’s visits

All tasks are based on realistic everyday situations. It’s not about understanding every single word – but rather identifying the key information and interpreting the main ideas correctly.
