What is a Spanish Language Level Test?

A Spanish Language Level Test is a 5-20 minute online quiz that assesses your basic, daily, & travel related grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing skills based on CEFR standards (A1.1, A1.2, and A2 or more). It is a free and easy test designed to determine your Spanish skills through multiple-choice, listening and writing questions, while progressing from a complete beginner to an intermediate level. The assessment result helps you identify the best beginner course and your current level of Spanish, before joining our free Trial Spanish Class in Brisbane. 

What the CEFR Spanish Levels means?

The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for languages is the international standard used to measure language ability. It divides Spanish language knowledge into six levels from beginner to fluency (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2). These levels help learners, schools, and employers understand how well someone can communicate in Spanish. The CEFR Framework evaluates four key skills including: 
  • Speaking
  • Listening
  • Reading
  • Writing
Your result in a Spanish Level Test indicates which CEFR level best represents your current Spanish ability. This will help decide which Spanish Course is the most suitable one for you.
