What do the levels mean?

Levels follow the Common European Framework (CEFR). Universities, employers and immigration offices recognise this scale. Word counts are approximate; what matters is what you can actually do with the language.

You introduce yourself and handle simple everyday phrases.
A2about 1.000 words
You get by in familiar situations: shopping, directions, work.
B1about 2.000 words
You handle most travel situations alone and explain your opinion with reasons.
B2about 4.000 words
You follow discussions in your field and understand complex texts.
C1about 8.000 words
You speak fluently and naturally; university and work are no obstacle.
C2about 16.000 words
Close to native: you catch fine shades of meaning and humour.
