How to Evaluate Your Own Level of English - Watch this to Find Out (A1-C2)

Hello everybody! This is Jack Askew from to fluency.com

and in this video we're going to talk about English language levels, and I have

a question for you. So keep watching...

Before I ask you the question of what English level you have,

I'm going to explain how you can evaluate your own level using the Common

European Framework of Reference for languages, and this splits English

learners into six different levels:

A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2

So let's have a look at all these different levels so you can evaluate

your own English level currently. So the first one is beginner A1, and this is

where you can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly

and clearly and is prepared to help.

This is where you can introduce yourself and others. You can ask and answer questions

about personal details, such as where you live,

people you know, and things you have. So that's A1. A2 is elementary and this is

where you can understand sentences and frequently used expressions, for example,

very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography,

employment, etc. And you can communicate in simple and routine tasks on familiar

topics. B1 is interediate, and this is where you can deal with most situations

likely to arise while traveling in an area where the language is spoken.

You can also describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes, and ambitions, and

briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans. Now moving on to

upper intermediate now, and this is a level B2

this is where you can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that

makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without

difficulty for either party.

So that's a B2 level: upper intermediate. Now, C1 is advanced and, this is

where you can express ideas fluently,

spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions. You can use

language flexibly and effectively for social, academic, and professional

purposes.

So that's a C1 level. And then finally, we have proficient, and this is C2

Now, look at this first one: Can understand with ease

virtually everything heard or read. Can express him or herself spontaneously

very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of

meaning even in the most complex situations.

So those are the six levels according to the European Framework for Languages, so

now it's time for the question and what I want to know is this: what English level

do you currently have? What English level do you currently have?

Leave your comments below this video, and also tell me if you are happy with this

current level.

Thanks for watching and see you next time!
