With these levels, you can easily work out your ability in around 40 different languages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The levels are often used casually by language learners to explain their ability at speaking, reading, writing and understanding a language. But there are also exams and certificates available to those who want to make their level official.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Let\u2019s take now a closer look at what the differnet levels means and which language abilities you reach with each level:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8220;4.2.2&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8220;0&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.2.2&#8243;][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=&#8220;4.2.2&#8243;][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8220;The \u201cA\u201d Levels: Basic User&#8220; open=&#8220;on&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.2.2&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A1 | Beginner<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Understand and use very basic expressions to satisfy concrete needs<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Introduce themselves and ask others questions about personal details<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Interact simply as long as the other person speaks slowly and clearly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A2 | Elementary<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Understand frequently used expressions in most intermediate areas such as shopping, family, employment, etc.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Complete tasks that are routine and involve a direct exchange of information<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Describe matters of immediate need in simple terms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8220;The \u201cB\u201d Levels: Independent User&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.2.2&#8243; open=&#8220;off&#8220;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>B1 | Intermediate<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Understand points regarding family, work, school or leisure-related topics<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Deal with most travel situations in areas where the language is spoken.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Create simple texts on topics of personal interest<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Describe experiences, events, dreams, and ambitions, as well as opinions or plans in brief<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>B2 | Upper Intermediate<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Understand the main ideas of a complex text such as a technical piece related to their field<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spontaneously interact without too much strain for either the learner or the native speaker<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Produce a detailed text on a wide range of subjects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8220;The \u201cC\u201d Levels: Proficient User&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.2.2&#8243; open=&#8220;off&#8220;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>C1 | Advanced<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Understand a wide range of longer and more demanding texts or conversations<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Express ideas without too much searching<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Effectively use the language for social, academic or professional situations<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Create well-structured and detailed texts on complex topics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>C2 | Proficiency<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Understand almost everything read or heard with ease<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Summarize information from a variety of sources into a coherent presentation<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Express themselves using precise meaning in complex scenarios<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8220;4.2.2&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.2.2&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8220;4.2.2&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the Different CEFR Levels?
