Understand how the CEFR A1–C2 scale works and how it connects to German, Italian, French and other languages on The Language Channel.
CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is the official international scale used to describe language ability from A1 (beginner) to C2 (near-native).
Schools, universities, employers and exam providers use CEFR levels to define entry requirements, course levels and test results.
On The Language Channel, sentence lists, exercises, and certificates can be tagged with a CEFR level so learners always know the difficulty.
After you reach a stable level, you can request an official Fluency Certificate based on CEFR to show to schools or employers.
