I understand GwapitoKeith is a good guy who is 7000 miles away right now, sadly I can't change places with him but I would if I could
He is spending time entertaining old friends right now and that is a good thing!
On topic, this A1 language thing really upsets me, my Ana's English is fine, she understands me and she has been here twice (5 months in total) and managed perfectly well on a day to day basis understanding people around her but her English is not perfect and having looked at the test samples she will fail because the tests are a pedantic view of spoken English!
Again my partners English is better than a great many people I have heard living here but looking at some sample questions my partner would fail :(
