Understanding the German Language Levels (CEFR)
The Goethe-Zertifikat exams correspond to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
A1: Beginner: You can understand and use basic everyday expressions. Required for some visa types.
A2: Elementary: You can communicate in simple, routine situations.
B1: Intermediate: You can handle most situations encountered while traveling and can describe experiences and opinions. Often a minimum requirement for citizenship.
B2: Upper-Intermediate: You can understand complex texts and interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity. A common requirement for entry into German-speaking university programs.
C1: Advanced: You can use the language flexibly and effectively for social, academic, and professional purposes.
C2: Mastery: You can understand virtually everything with ease and express yourself spontaneously and precisely.
Each exam level (A1-C2) tests four skills: Lesen (Reading), Hören (Listening), Schreiben (Writing), and Sprechen (Speaking).
