Every language uses the same question formats, the same scoring engine and the same CEFR mapping — with language-specific audio, script-aware rendering and full right-to-left support where needed.
| Language | Script | Native audio | Live AI speaking | Test UI localized |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chinese (Mandarin) | Simplified Han | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Spanish | Latin | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| French | Latin | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| German | Latin | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Italian | Latin | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Portuguese | Latin | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Hindi | Devanagari | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Japanese | CJK | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Korean | Hangul | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Russian | Cyrillic | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Arabic | Arabic (RTL) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
The entire test-taking interface is localized into the target language — task instructions, question-type labels, on-screen buttons and confirmation dialogs, not just the passages. The one thing deliberately not translated is the learner's own answer.
An internal 0–100 score maps to the six CEFR bands, reported overall and per skill so a strong reader cannot mask a weak speaker.
| CEFR level | Score range | What the learner can do |
|---|---|---|
| C2 | 85–100 | Mastery — understands virtually everything |
| C1 | 68–84 | Advanced — expresses ideas fluently and spontaneously |
| B2 | 51–67 | Upper intermediate — interacts with fluency and spontaneity |
| B1 | 34–50 | Intermediate — copes with most everyday situations |
| A2 | 17–33 | Elementary — communicates in simple, routine tasks |
| A1 | 0–16 | Beginner — uses familiar everyday expressions |
Scoring is full-denominator, real-exam style: every question counts and unanswered questions score zero. A half-finished test cannot place high — a placement is only meaningful when the whole range has been attempted.
Most online tests ask you to choose a level first, then measure you against it. That is a measurement, not a placement.
Placement mode generates items across all six CEFR bands from A1 to C2 and tags each item with its band — roughly nine items per band, 54 in total.
Nobody picks a level up front. The overall CEFR comes from the learner's balanced per-skill performance across the full difficulty range.
A band-by-band diagnostic shows where comprehension holds and where it breaks — the ceiling is evidence-based, not a single lucky answer.
Already know roughly where a cohort sits? Targeted mode measures against one chosen level with a stretch band and a clear standing verdict.
Speaking is the skill most platforms skip because humans do not scale. Here it is assessed two ways — graded tasks and live conversation.
Varied task formats generated entirely in the target language, with language-specific text-to-speech voices for authentic listening material.
Interactive writing, writing samples and write-about-photo tasks, AI-evaluated against CEFR descriptors with multi-perspective feedback.
Read Aloud, Speak About Photo, Listen and Speak, Read Then Speak, Interactive Speaking and Speaking Sample — each scored for pronunciation, fluency and production.
A real back-and-forth conversation in the target language, scored on Fluency, Vocabulary, Grammar and Comprehension, with 48-emotion detection and an annotated transcript. See Voice AI.
Choose from the 11 supported languages. Instructions and content appear in that language, not English.
Answer items spanning A1 to C2 across reading, listening, speaking and writing. Nothing is pre-selected for you.
Get an overall CEFR level plus a level for each skill, a comprehension-by-band chart and targeted next steps.
