The CEFR Levels
CEFR, or the Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages, is like a roadmap for language learning. It divides
language ability into six levels:
If you
are at A1, you're a beginner. You can use simple phrases for everyday
situations. You can introduce yourself and have basic conversations.
The A2
English Level
You
can have simple conversations using basic words. You can talk about your life,
work, and needs.
The B1
English Level
This
level is our focus today, so more on this soon.
The B2
English Level
At B2,
you can understand complex texts and have detailed discussions, especially in
your area of expertise. You’ll be able to speak fluently with proficient
English speakers, write detailed texts on various subjects, and express your
opinions with detailed reasons.
The C1
English Level
At
this level, you can grasp demanding texts and express yourself fluently and
spontaneously. You can use English flexibly in social, academic, and
professional settings, creating well-structured, detailed texts on diverse
topics.
The C2
English Level
If you
are a proficient C2 learner, you can understand almost everything you read or
hear. You can summarize complex arguments from various sources and express
yourself precisely and fluently, even in complex situations, discerning subtle
meanings.
Understanding
B1 Level
Today,
I want to explain a little bit about B1 English.
At B1,
you're at the 'intermediate' level. But what does this actually mean as an
English speaker?
Reaching
B1 is an incredible achievement. This means you've progressed from simple
phrases and can now use the language in everyday situations. You're no
longer just getting by with basic English. At this level, you're thriving
with a richer vocabulary and a better grasp of grammar.
Language
Use at B1
At B1,
you can -
·
understand the main points of
clear, standard speech on familiar matters like work, school, or hobbies.
·
deal with most travel situations in
English-speaking countries.
·
write simple texts on
topics of personal interest.
·
describe experiences, events, and dreams and
briefly give reasons for opinions or discuss plans.
B1
English in the Real World
Imagine
being able to:
Navigate a new city while on holiday, ask for directions, order food, and make hotel reservations confidently.
Write emails or messages that go beyond just basic information, expressing your thoughts and plans more clearly.
Why You Should Aim for B1
Achieving
the B1 level in English opens doors to richer experiences. You will
also enjoy smoother travels and more effective
communication in personal and professional settings. It’s the level
where the language starts to live and breathe in your day-to-day life. You will
connect with the world in new ways and enjoy fresh experiences.
