The French language levels A1 to C2 come from the CEFR — the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, a widely recognized international standard for measuring language proficiency.

• A1 – Beginner: You can understand and use basic phrases, introduce yourself, and handle very simple interactions.
• A2 – Elementary: You start to form short sentences and handle basic social interactions with some confidence.
• B1 – Intermediate: B1 learners produce connected text on subjects they know and can describe experiences and explain views.
• B2 – Upper Intermediate: You can understand complex texts, interact fluently with native speakers, and argue a position clearly.
• C1–C2 – Advanced to Mastery: These levels are the goal for professionals, academics, and anyone seeking to pass certifications like DALF.

Understanding where you stand on the CEFR scale is the first step to setting realistic, motivating French learning goals.
