Question 1

How is the TELC A2 Listening module structured?

Accepted Answer

The Hören subtest lasts about 20 minutes and has 15 items. Teil 1 has 5 telephone messages where you complete notes, Teil 2 has 5 short radio texts with answers a/b/c, and Teil 3 has 1 longer conversation with 5 matching tasks.

Question 2

Will every audio be played twice?

Accepted Answer

No. In the official model test, Hören Teil 1 and Teil 3 are played twice, but Teil 2 is played only once. That means you should be especially alert in the radio-information task.

Question 3

What exactly do I do in each listening part?

Accepted Answer

Teil 1 asks you to complete telephone notes with missing information. Teil 2 asks you to choose a, b, or c after short radio texts. Teil 3 asks you to match information from one conversation and write the correct letter.

Question 4

What is the best strategy for TELC A2 Listening?

Accepted Answer

Focus on practical details: times, numbers, names, places, prices, and appointments. In Teil 1, write short precise answers; in Teil 2, compare the three options before listening; in Teil 3, track who or what belongs where rather than translating every sentence.
