If you have passed the A1 level, you already know the
survival basics. You can introduce yourself, count, order food, and handle
simple exchanges. The A2 level builds on all of that. It does not ask you to be
fluent, but it does expect you to hold your own in a wider range of everyday
situations.
Think of A1 as learning to float. A2 is learning to swim in
the shallow end. Here is what you need to cover.
Travel and Transport
This is one of the biggest A2 topics. You should be able to
talk about how you get from place to place. Buses, trains, cars, planes, taxis,
know the words for all of them. Practice buying a ticket, asking about
schedules, and understanding arrival and departure times.
Useful phrases include asking how to get somewhere, how long
the trip takes, and which platform or stop you need. Short reading tasks might
show you a bus schedule or a train timetable. You need to pull out the right
details quickly.
You should also be able to talk about travel in a broader
sense. Where have you been? Where do you want to go? Why? These questions test
your ability to form opinions and talk about past and future events.
Work and Education
At A2, you need to go beyond just stating your job title.
You should describe what you do at work, what your daily tasks look like, and
what hours you keep. Talking about your workplace an office, a shop, a school
is expected.
Education comes up in a similar way. Can you describe your
school or university? What subjects did you study? What did you enjoy? If you
are currently a student, you should talk about your classes, your schedule, and
your goals.
Job-related vocabulary expands here. Words like boss,
coworker, meeting, salary, and deadline are all useful. Practice short
dialogues about calling in sick, asking for time off, or explaining a task to
someone.
Housing and Home Life
A1 covered basic objects in your home. A2 goes deeper. You
should describe your apartment or house, how many rooms it has, what each room
looks like, and what furniture is inside. Talking about your neighborhood
matters too. Is it quiet? Is there a park nearby? How far is the nearest shop?
Renting and housing vocabulary shows up at this level. Words
like rent, landlord, lease, and utilities are worth learning. You might face a
reading task based on a rental ad or a short dialogue about finding a place to
live.
Describing where you live also gives you a chance to
practice comparisons. "My old apartment was smaller than my new one."
That kind of sentence is right at the A2 level.
Leisure and Hobbies
You should be able to talk about what you do in your free
time with some detail. At A1, saying "I like music" was enough. At
A2, you need to say what kind of music, how often you listen, and whether you
play an instrument.
Sports, reading, cooking, gardening, gaming, hiking,
whatever your hobbies are, be ready to describe them. Practice talking about
plans too. "This weekend I am going to..." or "Last summer I
went to..." are common A2 sentence patterns.
Invitations and suggestions fall here as well. Can you
invite someone to a movie? Can you suggest a restaurant? Can you accept or
politely turn down an offer? These social skills are a key part of the A2 exam.
Health and Wellbeing (Expanded)
A1 taught you to say "my head hurts." A2 expects
more. You should describe symptoms in fuller detail, explain how long you have
felt sick, and understand basic advice from a doctor or pharmacist.
Practice dialogues at a pharmacy. Asking for cold medicine,
pain relief, or allergy tablets is common at this level. You should also be
able to talk about healthy habits like exercise, diet, sleep, and explain what
you do to stay well.
Reading tasks might include a short leaflet about a medicine
or a poster about health advice. Scan for key details: dosage, timing, and
warnings.
Shopping and Services (Expanded)
A2 shopping goes beyond buying bread. You should handle
returns, complaints, and requests for help in a store. "This does not fit.
Do you have a larger size?" or "I bought this yesterday and it does
not work" are the kinds of phrases you need.
Services like the bank, the post office, and repair shops
come into play too. Can you send a package? Can you open an account? Can you
explain a problem with your phone or laptop in simple terms? These tasks test
real-world language use.
Describing People and Relationships
At A2, you should describe people in more detail than just
their name and age. Talk about what someone looks like, what their personality
is like, and how you know them. Words for tall, short, friendly, quiet, funny,
and serious are all useful.
Relationships expand beyond family. Friends, neighbors,
classmates, and coworkers all come up. You should explain how you met someone,
how long you have known them, and what you do together.
Grammar You Need at A2
The grammar demands grow at this level, but they stay within
reach if you practice steadily.
- More noun cases. At A1, you focused on two or three cases.
At A2, you should have a working grasp of most of the seven cases. You do not
need to be perfect, but you should use them with common nouns and not freeze up
when you see an unfamiliar ending.
- Past and future tenses. You need both. The simple past
tense should feel comfortable by now. The future tense gets added at A2.
Practice talking about plans, goals, and predictions.
- Comparative and superlative forms. Bigger, smaller, the
best, the worst. These show up when you describe places, people, and
experiences.
- Prepositions and their cases. Lithuanian prepositions
require certain noun cases. This is one of the trickier parts of A2 grammar.
Memorize the most common pairings and practice them in full sentences.
- Modal verbs. Words like "can," "must,"
"want," and "need" become important at A2. You should use
them to express ability, obligation, and desire.
How to Prepare
Build your study sessions around these topics. Pick one
theme each week and go deep. Learn the vocabulary, write sample sentences,
practice dialogues out loud, and test yourself with mock reading and listening
tasks.
The A2 exam rewards practical language skills. It is not
about perfect grammar. It is about showing that you can handle daily life in
Lithuanian with growing confidence. Cover these topics well, stay consistent
with your practice, and you will be ready.
