Lingoda learning levels and the CEFR
It’s common to think of language levels as Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced, but this is often too broad. At Lingoda, we use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). It’s an internationally recognized standard that describes your learning progress in more detail. In simpler terms, the framework helps you to explain your level from Beginner (A1) to Advanced (C1). The CEFR levels build on each other all the way up to native-level fluency.
