Language proficiency tests

You understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases. You can introduce yourself and ask simple questions about personal details — where you live, people you know, things you have.

You understand frequently used expressions on familiar topics: yourself, family, shopping, work. You can talk about simple routine matters and describe your surroundings in a few sentences.

You understand the main points of clear texts on familiar topics and can cope with most situations while travelling. You can describe experiences and events and briefly justify your opinions.

You understand complex texts on concrete and abstract topics. You interact with enough fluency and spontaneity that conversation with native speakers is natural and effortless for both sides.

You understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts and grasp implicit meaning. You express yourself fluently and spontaneously, using the language flexibly and effectively for work, study and life.

You understand virtually everything you hear or read with ease and convey finer shades of meaning precisely, even in complex situations. Your command of the language is close to that of a native speaker.
