Errepasoa — the A2 final exam
Last lesson of A2. There’s no new grammar — there’s something better: proof that everything you’ve learned works TOGETHER. Exam format: read, listen to your inner voice in Basque, and answer. Ea zer moduz!
The map of what’s already yours
From A1 you brought: present tense, NOR-NORK, cases, time, shopping, likes.
A2 has given you:
| Block | The star |
|---|---|
| Health and imperative | Hartu pilula hau! |
| Past tense (x3) | joan nintzen · joaten nintzen · joan ohi nintzen |
| NOR-NORI-NORK | eman dizkiot |
| Comparisons | handiagoa, handiena, handiegia |
| Opinion and subordinate clauses | uste dut … -la |
| Future and plans | joango naiz · asmoa dut |
| Travel | joan-etorria, erreserba |
| Errands/Admin | hitzordua, transferentzia |
| Leisure and likes | irakurtzea gustatzen zait |
| Linking ideas | -nean · aurretik/ondoren · -tzeko/-tzera · ea -n |
The final text (the whole level in one paragraph)
Iaz euskara ikasten hasi nintzen. Hasieran dena zaila iruditzen zitzaidan: aditzak, kasuak, hitz luzeak… Egunero apur bat ikasi ohi nuen, autobusean nindoanean edo afaldu ondoren. Orain, urtebete geroago, gauza asko esan ditzaket: nire bizitza konta dezaket, planak egin ditzaket eta lagunei mezuak euskaraz bidaltzen dizkiet. Ez dakit noiz arte iritsiko naizen, baina gauza bat ziur dakit: datorren urtean B1 maila egingo dut. Eta zuk? Ea elkarrekin ikasten dugun!
Did you understand all of it? That, exactly, is what having an A2 level means.
The honest self-assessment
You can say you’ve mastered A2 if you can do this without looking:
- ✅ Talk about what you did last weekend (3 sentences in the past tense).
- ✅ Talk about what you’ll do next weekend (3 sentences in the future tense).
- ✅ Ask for something in a store and return it the next day.
- ✅ Leave a phone message: who you are, what you want, and ask for a call back.
- ✅ Tell your life story in six sentences (past → present → plans).
- ✅ Complain about the weather with some authority. ☔
Zorionak!
Hemen bukatzen da A2 maila. Bidaia ederra izan da: orain euskaraz bizi zaitezke — oinarrizko gauzetan, baina benetan. Hurrengo geltokia: B1. Han ikasiko duzu iritziak defendatzen, istorio luzeagoak kontatzen eta euskara zure-zurea egiten.
Eskerrik asko gurekin ikasteagatik — eta gogoratu: euskarak ez du etxerik galtzen. Aurrera! 💪
