Levels
We teach on 7 levels ranging from A0 to C2 - as defined by the Common European Framework.
A placement test - consisting of a written and an oral part on your first Monday - will make sure that you will be learning with others of a similar level. An evaluation test every Friday allows you to check on your progress. However, you can get personalised feedback from your teacher at any time.
