Band A is where the TOCFL starts testing everyday communication: Level 1 (入門級) and Level 2 (基礎級), on top of the two Novice lists (準備級) that the official counts build on. That is 1,226 entries in all. SC-TOP groups these lists by topic: personal information, family and relationships, school, food and drink, shopping, travel, home, health, work and free time.
How to use this deck
- Look at the front and say the reading and meaning out loud before you flip.
- Mark Knew it or Didn’t know, and be strict: a slow answer is a miss.
- At the end of the set, review the cards you missed until none are left.
- Come back tomorrow and redo the set before starting a new one, then read a story that uses the words.
