CEFR English level guide
CEFR levels explain what learners can usually do in English. This guide turns those levels into a practical exam-prep roadmap: grammar, vocabulary, skills and the BeFluent subscription that fits your current level.
The free mini test gives the recommendation. This page explains the reason behind it.
Use this table as a simple starting point. CEFR is a communication framework, not a magic grammar spreadsheet, so the exact grammar can vary by exam and learner profile.
| Level | Meaning | What learners can usually do | BeFluent path |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | Beginner | Understand simple words, greetings, numbers and very short sentences. | Foundation before Starter |
| A2 | Elementary | Handle simple everyday and work situations with basic grammar and vocabulary. | Starter |
| B1 | Intermediate | Explain opinions, experiences and common work or study situations, but still makes regular errors. | Starter or Pro |
| B2 | Upper-intermediate | Communicate clearly in professional and academic contexts, but needs accuracy, speed and stronger exam control. | Pro or Elite |
| C1 | Advanced | Use English fluently and flexibly with complex texts, professional communication and advanced exam tasks. | Elite |
| C2 | Proficient | Understand almost everything and communicate with nuance, precision and natural control. | Advanced independent use |
The subscription choice should be based on current level, learning needs and exam objective, so each learner can start with the right level of support.
A2–B1
B1–B2
B2–C1
This gives students a clear idea of what they are expected to study inside each subscription level.
Vocabulary is grouped by practical exam and professional communication needs, not random word lists.
When in doubt, students should choose the level where they still make frequent mistakes, not the level they hope they already have.
Choose this if...
you understand basic English but still make frequent grammar mistakes.

Choose this if...
you understand a lot already but need advanced accuracy, nuance and stronger exam control.
