Ten quick questions with native audio to estimate your CEFR level — no sign-up to try. Takes about two minutes.
What does this English word mean?
heh-LOH
Spelling is deliberately not what is being tested. English orthography tells you almost nothing about pronunciation, so the questions lead with audio and ask you to match a sound to a meaning.
The CEFR bands are the same everywhere. What sits inside them is not — A2 in English asks for things A2 in another language never mentions. Here is what your result actually describes.
Greetings, numbers, and the present tense of "to be" and "to have". Enough to check into a hotel and say where you are from. The irregular pasts — went, took, saw — are still ahead of you.
Past simple and "going to" hold up, and you have met your first phrasal verbs. You can describe your weekend. Articles — a, the, or nothing at all — still go wrong every few sentences.
Present perfect versus past simple has stopped being a coin toss, conditionals behave, and you can follow someone who is not slowing down for you. What remains is connected speech: hearing "I would have" arrive as "I'd've".
English lets you be understood while being wrong, so learners routinely place themselves a band above their grammar. A strong score here usually means good listening rather than clean sentences.
Worth remembering either way: a multiple-choice test measures recognition. Speaking is a different muscle, and it is the one that decides whether a conversation happens.
Knowing your level is the easy part — improving it means speaking. AvalaVoice pairs you with an AI tutor that holds real English conversations, corrects your pronunciation in your own language, and adapts to exactly where you are. Free to start, five minutes a day.
