CEFR levels: from A1 to C2

The CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), developed by the Council of Europe, describes language proficiency on six levels from A1 to C2. Frigya groups words by these levels, and you choose which ones to study.

  1. A1

    Beginner

    What to expect

    You understand and use very basic everyday expressions: introducing yourself, numbers, simple objects.

    In Frigya

    Start here if you are new to the language.

  2. A2

    Elementary

    What to expect

    You form simple sentences on familiar topics: shopping, your surroundings, routines.

    In Frigya

    Move here when you already know most A1 words on the first try.

  3. B1

    Intermediate

    What to expect

    You understand the main points and can explain yourself on familiar topics like work, school and travel.

    In Frigya

    Move up once the basics are settled.

  4. B2

    Upper intermediate

    What to expect

    You understand the main ideas of complex texts and can speak fluently and naturally.

    In Frigya

    Move here if you are aiming for a more fluent vocabulary.

  5. C1

    Advanced

    What to expect

    You understand long, demanding texts and express ideas flexibly and in detail.

    In Frigya

    A long-term goal; a small daily goal makes sense.

  6. C2

    Mastery

    What to expect

    You understand virtually everything you hear or read and can tell fine shades of meaning apart.

    In Frigya

    The top level, and a long-term goal for most learners.

An important note: the CEFR does not give word counts. The "X words for B1" figures you see online are estimates and differ from source to source; we do not claim exact numbers either.

Choosing a level

If you are unsure, start one level lower. In Discover, words you get right on the first try are marked as already known, so choosing a level that is a bit low does not waste time; it moves you quickly to the right place.

You can select several levels at once. To find yours, try the method in How to find your CEFR level at home: a self-check guide. For a practical look at two levels, see A1 vocabulary guide: what to know and where to start as a beginner and B2 vocabulary guide: moving from being understood to sounding fluent.
