Before your arrival, we send you a test by email or by post, to assess your level.
On your arrival, we complete your evaluation with an oral test.
If I am a beginner, what is my level* after a total of 50 hours of lessons? 200 hours? 800 hours?
- After 60 to 80 hours in class (A1): You can communicate in a very simple way if the person you are speaking to speaks slowly and cooperates well.
- After 150 to 200 hours (A2): You can communicate about simple and regular subjects, which correspond to immediate needs.
- After 400 to 500 hours (B1): You can manage and communicate when clear and normal language is used. You can produce a simple and coherent speech about familiar subjects and subjects in your areas of interest.
- After 600 to 700 hours (B2): You can communicate about a wide range of subjects, tangible and abstract, in a clear and detailed way, with spontaneity and ease - including during a technical discussion within your area of specialism.
- After 800 to 900 hours (C1): You can use the language in an effective and flexible manner in your social, professional or academic life, about complex subjects. You can express yourself spontaneously and fluently, in a clear and well-structured way.
