CEFR A1 · Starter · First words, first courage
A1 is the beginner band. At A1 you can say who you are, where you are from and what you do, in short sentences, and you understand somebody who speaks slowly and helps you. You are at A1 if you can introduce yourself and ask a simple question, but a normal-speed conversation goes past you. Almost everybody who "learned English in school but cannot speak it" is above A1 in reading and at A1 in speaking — the two do not have to match.

At A1 you can
Introduce yourself and handle simple, everyday exchanges — slowly, with help.
The one thing between A1 and the next band, named rather than hinted at.
The blocker at A1 is word order, not vocabulary. English fixes the subject before the verb and Hindi does not, so the sentence has to be rebuilt rather than translated. Start with the present simple, the verb "be", and yes/no questions.
These are the 32 structures CoCap files at A1. Not a syllabus somebody guessed — the same one the app teaches from.
