A1 Role play practice
Start or answer a conversation in an everyday situation.
In the real test: LanguageCert (Part 2). You need A1 speaking and listening for your first UK spouse, partner or parent visa.
You are in a café. Order a drink and something to eat. The examiner says: "Hello, what would you like?"
Speak for about 15–30 seconds
Your recording is sent to OpenAI to turn it into text, and the text to Anthropic for feedback. We don't keep it. Privacy policy
Feedback checks are free 3 times a day. More A1 practice
A1 role play: what you need to know
This task type appears in LanguageCert (Part 2). Every approved A1 test for the UK first spouse or partner visa checks speaking and listening only, so there is no reading or writing to prepare for.
Practise out loud. Record your answer to get a free feedback check judged at A1 level (3 a day), or compare yourself with the model answer. Short, clear and complete answers matter more than long ones.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the real A1 test?
No. These are practice tasks written in the same style as LanguageCert (Part 2). The real test is taken in person at an approved test centre and marked by the provider.
Which A1 test should I take?
All four approved tests (IELTS Life Skills, PTE Home, LanguageCert ESOL SELT and Trinity GESE) are accepted. Choose by format: talking to a person, or speaking to a computer (PTE Home).
How are the feedback checks marked?
Your recording is turned into text and checked against A1 level. It cannot hear your pronunciation, so it focuses on whether you answered the question, the words you used and your grammar.
