Mastery Level Test

The A1 Level documents the capacity to understand and to use simple and familiar expressions for meeting daily needs related to the following topics: human body, clothes, family, dates, house, city, transport and directions, food, stores, offices and phones.
If you know only few sentences and words you qualify as a “true beginner”. The same situation applies to a “false beginner”, someone who learnt the language at school, but forgot all basic notions after a couple of years without practising it.

The A2 Level guarantees autonomy in the context of elementary communication. On reaching this level one can accomplish tasks related to basic needs regarding: individual sphere, local geography, work, shopping, nationality, the weather, weights and measures.
Usually a vocabulary of 600 words breaks the communication barrier, whereas a vocabulary of 1000 words is the peak limit for someone to easily make a conversation in a language.
The A2 certification is required in European countries in order to obtain a long-term residence permit.

The B1 Level marks the capability to comprehend texts on familiar and accessible subjects. At this level one is able to interact within an Italian speaking context and can use the language to express opinions and give elementary explanations about: holidays, work, school and more.
At the pre-intermediate level students can improve their ability to listen, talk, read and write the foreign language and can take part in more articulated conversations on various topics using a simple, jet appropriate vocabulary, even making some mistakes.

The B2 Level is required for foreign students at Italian universities. It attests to a competency in the Italian language which is necessary in a traditional scholastic context as well as to prepare for work activities in which one interact with the public. At this level one is able to socialize simply in an Italian-speaking setting and to use the language for specialized lexicon inherent to one’s study or work sphere.

The C1 Level marks a strong confidence with the Italian language and life, such that it can be used in different working environments such as professional, commercial, industrial, bureaucratic.
One is able to comprehend complex speech and writing (such as, for example, a literary text) and to write in a similar manner and can use a specialized lexicon that includes disciplines inherent to one’s own.

The C2 Level certifies a high competency in Italian language, as if it were a mother tongue, a high knowledge of Italian culture, and the ability to effectively employ it in any and all professional settings. The student has a vast choice of grammar structures and uses them with proficiency. Here one would be competent to teach Italian at the L2 level and to qualify for professional assignments of a high degree. Wide mastery even in spheres that are distant from one’s interest.
