Do you know the European reference framework for languages? Discover your level in a language according to the CEFR.
Our language training method is built on the scale of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This standard, recommended by the Council of Europe since 2001, describes the linguistic competences on six levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.
The CEFR provides a language proficiency rating scale and is now a reference in the field of language learning and teaching in many countries. It ensures transparency and international comparability of results in the evaluation.

“I’ve discovered a new, more human approach. The balance between grammar, vocabulary, videos, general culture and business culture is just right, which helps to prevent you from feeling discouraged. Face-to-face sessions with a native English teacher really make a difference because you’re immediately aware of any difficulties, but the teacher is there to guide, correct and encourage you and so you improve without realising!”
