Five months ago I could not read a Mongolian shop sign. This week I greeted Dulmaa with my arms under hers and asked her whether she was at peace. I poured forty bowls of tea, made buuz (badly) and ate them (very well), and wore a green deel to the last visits.
Tonight Nomin asked me what I liked best about Tsagaan Sar. I answered in Mongolian, with two converbs, a reflexive and a "you know". She clapped.

| ирэх | coming, next (before a noun: ирэх Цагаан сар, the next Tsagaan Sar) |

At the end of level A2 you can tell what happened yesterday and last month, say what you want, need, can, may and must do, and ask people politely to do things. You can travel in the countryside and describe it, compare things, and pick out the biggest and the best. You can link several actions in one sentence, report what someone said, give conditions, say when and why something happens, and take part in a Mongolian festival with the right words and the right gestures.
| Lessons | You can… | Key forms |
|---|---|---|
| 51-60 | tell what happened | –сан, –лаа, –в, –аагүй; өчигдөр, маргааш; есдүгээр сар |
| 61-70 | want, need, can, may, must, ask | –маар байна, –хыг хүсэж байна, хэрэгтэй, –ж чадна, –ж болох уу?, –аарай, –аач, –ъя, –х ёстой |
| 71-80 | travel and describe the steppe | –аар, –тай, дээр, хажууд, ард, өмнө, дараа, –аас (than), хамгийн |
| 81-90 | live in a ger | битгий, –х хэрэггүй, –аа (own), –аад, –ж, гэж, нь, шүү, даа, юм, биз дээ, минийх |
| 91-99 | celebrate Tsagaan Sar | Амар байна уу?, өгөх / авах, –вал, –хад, учраас, болохоор, өмсөх, –аасай |
If one of these still feels uncertain, go back to its lesson before you start unit 11. B1 begins in July, at the Naadam festival.

Take this test without looking back at the lessons, then check each wrong answer against its lesson. A score of 70% or more ticks the lesson on your course map, but aim for 80%: the B1 lessons build participles, reported speech and long sentences on exactly these endings. Then read the dialogues of unit 10 aloud once more. You have earned your deel.
