Guidance on choosing a level for those new to Languages for All courses

Please check our guide to levels page, which also includes a summary of course content for each language to enable you to refine your choice. You should aim to select a level that follows the one that best describes your current knowledge. Please note that the list of topics and grammar points is subject to minor changes and is only intended to assist you in choosing your level. 

You will find the names of our corresponding courses in both our guide to levels and the summary of course contents.

Additionally, for French, Dutch, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish, knowing your level on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) can be helpful. You may find the self evaluation tool from the European Day of Languages useful.
