inlingua language levels

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) aims to create greater unity and transparency when learning foreign languages in the European member states. Therefore, various competence levels are defined in the CEFR, in order to make the various European language certificates comparable and set a standard for the acquisition of language skills

Our language level chart shows you which module of the inlingua Accelerated Professional Programme APP corresponds to the competence levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Within each APP module you can choose between various topics (see chart)..
