What are the frequency books you're planning to use? My vocab is a little behind and I've been looking for a volume that has something like 2500-5000th most frequent words so I can make sure I know them.

Good luck on the A2 test! I considered going for the B2 test this year but I'm probably going to study abroad in Germany in the next two years so I think I'll delay paying $100+ for the test until after that.

A Frequency Dictionary of German
Core Vocabulary for Learners, 2nd Edition
By Erwin Tschirner, Jupp Möhring
https://www.routledge.com/A-Frequency-D ... 1138659780
I haven't used this myself but am wondering if I should buy it. This is the updated, second edition which will be out in October.
This completely updated edition of A Frequency Dictionary of German contains the 5,000 most commonly used words of German today, occurring in a 20 million word corpus (compared to a 4.2 million corpus in the first edition). The basis of the frequency list is a significantly extended version of the Herder/BYU Corpus of Contemporary German. The Dictionary contains spoken and written German, and represents different genres, text types, registers, styles, and also regional varieties.

The corpus is designed to represent the current German language as it is used in real world. Useful as a reference for students and course designers alike, A Frequency Dictionary of German is an important new resource.

Thank you for that detailed post, moonlyrics!
Actually, when I posted my comment, I hadn’t seen your reply to Sahmilat.

If you’re looking for a thematic vocabulary there is this one with some 4000 words with downloadable audio files:
Langenscheidt Grundwortschatz Deutsch als Fremdsprache
https://www.amazon.de/Langenscheidt-Gru ... PCC4AT0HEX

The same vocabulary book is also available as a 2-in-1 vocabulary plus grammar book:
Langenscheidt Deutsch - alles drin! - Basiswissen Deutsch in einem Band: Wortschatz und Grammatik - nachschlagen, lernen und üben
https://www.amazon.de/Langenscheidt-Deu ... way&sr=8-1

It is bigger in format but I don't think it comes with a code to download the audio.
