Listing language skills: using CEFR levels right
A1 to C2 explained plainly: rating languages honestly and proving them.
Fluent means something different to everyone – CEFR levels from A1 to C2 create clarity.
The levels
- A1–A2: basics – name only when required.
- B1–B2: independent use – B2 is the most common bar.
- C1–C2: fluent to native – prove with certificates.
Proving and wording
- Certificates: TOEFL, IELTS or Goethe with year and score.
- Practice: working language in a team weighs as much as a certificate.
- Native tongue: name first, without a level.
Enter languages with levels – the template formats them correctly on its own.
