Our courses follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which is a guideline that describes the
level of fluency achieved by a foreign language learner. The CEFRL includes 6 levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.
Our naming system is the following:
Level A1 : Beginner - 4 sublevels
Level A2 : Elementary - 4 sublevels + conversation classes
Level B1 : Intermediate - 5 Sublevels + conversation classes
Level B2 : Advanced - general + topic classes
Level C1 : Proficient - general + specialized classes
*The sublevels are planned to help you achieve the stated level. Each sublevel is a step up in the progression from the
previous one.
Before enrolling, we invite you to take a placement test. You will spend only a few minutes to complete
it, but it's the best way to find the class that fits your language needs.
