LevelCEFRWhat you can do
1A1You introduce yourself, order in a café and give your details without freezing.
2A2You handle everyday life: a doctor's appointment, a purchase, a short chat with a neighbour.
3B1You tell a story, explain why you think something, and keep up in a group conversation.
4B2You work in English: meetings, emails and an interview without rehearsing every sentence.
5C1You argue a point with people who disagree, and say exactly the shade you mean.
6C1+You catch humour, irony and what is only implied — and answer in the same register.
7C2You write and speak as you do in your own language: no translating in your head, no loss of precision.
8C2+You adapt the language to the room — academic, legal or creative — with the right cultural reference.
