Italian levels from A1 to C2

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages describes six levels of language ability. At Alimun there are groups for each level, and the placement test places you between A1 and C1.

A1, beginner

You understand and use everyday expressions and very simple sentences, can introduce yourself and ask about personal details, as long as the other person speaks slowly and clearly.

A2, elementary

You get by in simple, familiar situations such as family, shopping, work and where you live, and describe your surroundings in simple words.

B1, intermediate

You handle most situations while traveling, talk about experiences, plans and hopes, and briefly explain your opinions.

B2, upper intermediate

You understand the main ideas of complex texts, including technical ones in your field, and speak fluently enough for a natural conversation with native speakers.

C1, advanced

You use the language flexibly and effectively in social life, study and work, and write clear, well-structured texts on complex subjects.

C2, proficient

You understand almost everything you read and hear with ease, and express yourself spontaneously, fluently and precisely, catching fine shades of meaning.

Learning Italian online: what to know before you start

Italian is the language of a world center for design, fashion, food and art, and its pronunciation is more regular than many people expect.

Why Italian is worth it for English speakers

Italy is a major destination for study, tourism and business, and much of the vocabulary of music, food and art in English already comes from Italian. Knowing the language makes study, work and dealing with Italian companies easier.

What English speakers find hard

Italian is written much as it is spoken, but double consonants, as in fatto and anno, change the meaning of words, and verb tenses take practice. Practicing with a teacher and a group sets the right pronunciation from the start.

How to know which level to start from

The Common European Framework of Reference divides language ability into six levels, from A1 to C2. Checking your level before you start lets you begin at the right point and follow your progress.
