What do the levels mean?

The levels come from the CEFR, the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It's used across Europe for courses and for official exams such as DELE and Cambridge English.

  1. A1beginner

    You can use everyday phrases and very simple sentences, introduce yourself and ask basic questions, as long as people speak slowly and help you out.

  2. A2elementary

    You can manage short, routine exchanges: shopping, directions, your family and your job, and simple messages.

  3. B1intermediate

    You can get by in most everyday and travel situations, follow the main points when people speak clearly about familiar things, and talk about your experiences and plans.

  4. B2upper intermediate

    You can talk with native speakers without much strain on either side, follow most conversations and give your view on a wide range of topics.

  5. C1advanced

    You speak fluently without searching for words, understand longer and more demanding texts, and use the language well at work or in study.

  6. C2proficient

    You understand practically everything you hear or read with ease, and can express fine shades of meaning precisely.

This level check only looks at grammar and vocabulary, so treat it as a starting point. Speaking, listening and writing can sit at different levels, and we'll look at those on the free call.
