What is my Portuguese Level?
Take a short test and find out your Portuguese level
Detail
Our level system is based on the “Common European Framework of Reference” (CEFR). By using the CEFR, we aim to meet the highest international language standards. CEFR is an international standard for describing language ability. It describes language ability on a six-point scale, from A1 for beginners, up to C2 for those who have mastered a language. This makes it easy for anyone involved in language teaching and testing, such as teachers or learners, to see the level of different qualifications. It also means that employers and educational institutions can easily compare our qualifications to other exams in their country.
