Teste de Português A2: Teste completo + Folha de Soluções

0:00 Hello and welcome to Portuguese With Leo!

0:06 My name is Leonardo and on this channel I teach Portuguese from Portugal.

0:14 In this video we will do a complete level A2 Portuguese test.

0:22 Please turn on the subtitles, and before we start,

0:28 I'll give you some useful information to understand how the test works.

0:37 This test is divided into 5 parts, oral comprehension, written comprehension,

0:47 grammar, vocabulary and oral expression.

0:53 Before we start, click on the first link

0:57 in the description to download the answer sheet.

1:02 This is a sheet that you can print or open

1:07 on your phone to write down your answers as you take the test.

1:15 This is important because at the end you will be

1:19 able to do your self-assessment and see what result you obtained.

1:26 So, pause the video and download your answer sheet while I wait here.

1:36 Do you already have the answer sheet?

1:38 Good!

1:39 So now, before we start, make sure you are in a quiet place,

1:46 sitting at a desk, and that you have at least 40 minutes to complete the test.

1:55 And don't worry if you need more time, because there is no time limit.

2:01 The objective is to take the test calmly.

2:04 As I told you, the test has 5 parts.

2:08 Now let's do the first part, oral comprehension,

2:13 and throughout the test I will always explain each part before you start.

2:21 The oral comprehension part has 2 exercises.

2:26 In the first exercise you will hear a dialogue between Pedro and Rita twice.

2:36 While listening to the dialogue, 10 statements will appear on the screen and you

2:43 must decide whether they are T, true or F, false.

2:51 Answer on your answer sheet.

2:54 Let's get started!

2:57 Pedro and Rita are two college friends who meet on the street after many years.

5:04 Now you will hear the dialogue once again.

7:08 The first exercise is over.

7:11 Pause the video if you need more time to answer the questions.

7:19 If you've already finished, then let's move on to the second exercise!

7:24 In the second exercise you will hear a voice message twice.

7:32 The message you will hear is the message that Ana sent

7:37 to her WhatsApp group of friends to invite them to her birthday party.

7:46 While listening to the message,

7:48 5 questions will appear on the screen and you must select the right option.

7:56 Let's get started!

8:37 Now you will hear the message once again.

9:20 The second exercise is over.

9:23 Pause the video if you need more time to answer the questions.

9:31 If you've already finished,

9:32 then let's move on to the written comprehension part.

9:40 In the written comprehension part we only have one exercise.

9:45 On the screen you will see a small text about

9:49 one of the most famous markets in Lisbon, Feira da Ladra.

9:54 Pause the video to read the text once

9:58 or twice and then you will answer 10 questions.

10:04 Let's go then!

10:06 Pause the video to read the text.

10:13 Now let's get to the questions.

10:16 Whenever you need to read the text again, go back to minutes 10 and 11.

10:24 And if you want to think between one question and another,

10:29 you can pause the video.

13:52 The exercise is over.

13:55 Go back to minutes 10 and 11 if you need to read the text again.

14:03 If you've already finished, then let's move on to the grammar part.

14:11 Now we move on to the grammar part, where I have two exercises for you.

14:19 In the first exercise I will give you 5 sentences and you

14:23 have to choose whether they are in the past, present or future.

14:31 In other words, if the action has already happened, is happening or will happen.

14:40 Pause the video to do the exercise.

14:47 Now we move on to the second grammar exercise,

14:51 where you will have to select the right answer to complete 10 short sentences.

15:00 If you want to think between one sentence and another,

15:04 you can pause the video and don't forget

15:08 to select the answers on your answer sheet.

15:12 Let's get started!

17:28 The exercise is over.

17:33 We are now in the vocabulary part and here we have 3 exercises.

17:40 In the first exercise I will give you 5 groups

17:45 of 5 words and you will have to find the intruder,

17:50 that is, the word that does not belong to the same lexical group,

17:56 that has no relationship with the other words.

18:01 Pause the video to do the exercise.

18:08 We now move on to the second vocabulary exercise.

18:14 In this exercise you will complete a text that is missing 10 words.

18:22 You will be able to guess the words from the context.

18:28 Pause the video to do the exercise.

18:36 In our third vocabulary exercise you will

18:41 have to identify 5 words from their description.

18:47 For example, what is the name we give to our mother's sister?

18:53 Answer is aunt.

18:57 If you want to think between one question and another,

19:00 you can pause the video and don't forget

19:04 to write your answer on the answer sheet.

19:08 Let's go then!

20:13 Very well, we have reached the last part of the test,

20:17 the oral expression part, the speaking part.

20:22 Obviously I can't evaluate your oral expression

20:26 because I can't hear you through the screen.

20:31 Therefore, we will use a technique called shadowing.

20:37 Shadowing consists of repeating aloud a sentence that we have just heard,

20:45 trying to pronounce it exactly as we heard it.

20:50 So this exercise works like this.

20:54 You will hear a sentence and then have a few

20:58 seconds to repeat it exactly as you heard it.

21:03 For example: I left the keys at home.

21:13 What time does the next bus arrive?

21:17 As you saw, you have to repeat the phrase

21:21 immediately after hearing it and you won't have much time.

21:25 The sentences become progressively more difficult and the test ends

21:31 when you can no longer keep up with the rhythm.

21:35 When you can no longer repeat the phrase in the time given to you.

21:40 Imagine that you managed to repeat the first 3 sentences,

21:44 but not sentence number 4.

21:47 So you gained 3 points in this exercise.

21:51 Or imagine that you managed to repeat the first 7,

21:55 but phrase 8 you no longer managed.

21:59 So you gained 7 points.

22:01 And pay attention!

22:03 For this test to work,

22:05 you cannot pause the video, rewind or repeat the exercise.

22:11 You can only do this exercise once.

22:16 Let's get started then!

22:19 3, 2, 1, let's go!

23:43 Alright, we finally finished the test!

23:46 How did it go?

23:49 Now, to see the solutions and do your self-assessment,

23:55 go to the description of this video and click on the Get Test Results link.

24:01 It's the second link in the description.

24:04 This link takes you to my website,

24:06 where you just have to enter your name and email

24:09 and I will send you the PDF with the test solutions.

24:14 This way you can see which are the right answers and why.

24:19 Then come back to YouTube and tell me how the test went.

24:24 I'm very curious to know your result.

24:28 If the test didn't go very well, it's because you don't have an A2 level yet.

24:34 In that case, I recommend that you study a little

24:38 more and try again in a few weeks or months.

24:42 If, on the other hand, the test went well,

24:45 then it's because you already have an A2 level

24:48 and you're probably ready for my B1 level course, a trip around Portugal.

24:57 a complete intermediate level course, based on a story,

25:02 that will take you from level A2 to level B1,

25:06 whilst learning more about Portuguese

25:08 culture and discovering Portugal virtually.

25:13 If you are interested in the course,

25:15 you can see more information by clicking on the third link in the description.

25:21 And finally, if you liked this test and want more tests of this style,
