Test your language level – CEFR test

Language Levels based on the CEFR-Scale

All of our language training is tailored to suit one or more of the six language levels represented on the European Councils CEFR-scale. Our web-test gives you an indication of your present language level and can be used regardless of which language you want to improve.

How does the test work?

The test consists of a number of questions for you to consider and takes approximately five minutes. Upon completion, you’ll receive an evaluation of the level of your current language skills.

Self-evaluation: Level A1

Read through and consider the following statements. If four or five of these statements are correct, then you should proceed further to the next level, by clicking “Next level.” If less than four are correct, then choose “My level.”

I can recognize everyday words and standard phrases when someone is speaking slowly.

I can basically understand the contents on signs and in brochures.

I can ask and answer simple questions.

I can verbally describe where I live.

I can write short sentences and SMS messages.
