How can I describe my level of English now?
Many people agree in recognising 7 levels of ability in English:
1. Beginner
2. Elementary
3. Low (or Pre-) Intermediate
4. Intermediate;
5. Upper Intermediate
6. Advanced
7. Proficient
But of course different countries, examination centres, schools and teachers have different views on how many levels there are, and also disagree about how you can describe each level. You can read our (Severnvale’s) detailed description of each level by clicking through to a special page: Severnvale Levels of English.
