About CEFR levels
At Lingoda, we use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), an international standard for language learning progress. It defines six levels, from Beginner (A1) and Elementary (A2) through Intermediate (B1, B2) to Advanced (C1). Each level builds on the one before, leading toward near-native fluency.
Learn from certified teachers with our limited-time offer on Lingoda Flex plans. Available for purchase made between July 1 and August 3 (until 10:00 a.m. CEST), save 10% on the M plan, 25% on the L plan, and 30% on the XL plan. Our S plan is excluded from this offer. The discount applies only to the first month and is available to new students who have never had an active Lingoda subscription (except for the free trial). Please note that this offer cannot be combined with other promotions.
You don’t have to take your classes in the order they’re laid out as each lesson is independent of the other. However, we recommend taking the orientation class at the beginning of the level to help guide you.
Once you have completed a level, all students receive a Lingoda certificate, verifying your accomplished skills. We structure our classes based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), an internationally renowned standard that guides you from Absolute Beginner (A1) to Advanced (C1).
As a Lingoda student, you can download the class materials for free and use them at any time. After your class, you will also find a quiz to help you refresh and practice your new skills. For English and A1 German students, downloadable exercises are available as well. All materials are uniquely created by Lingoda experts to align with CEFR standards.

It depends. As is the case when learning any new skill, your progress depends on your efforts. If you would like to learn quickly, then we suggest that you make language learning a consistent habit. Also focus and participate in class and complete the downloadable materials at the end of each class for best results. It also depends on which of Lingoda’s online language courses you choose, as some of our plans are more intensive than others.
